Alan Nixon confirming we are in the process of agreeing a fee with Sheff U for Done. Was spotted at the game yesterday too.

To come here, Done will need to leave his Sheff U contract early. He's reportedly on around £6k per week there. I have no idea what weekly wage we will offer him, but it won't be anywhere near that.

Now, Sheff U owe us money for Done due to them getting promoted (contract clause). So, while they are looking for a fee from other clubs who have asked about Done, we could potentially let them keep that money as a transfer fee.

Alternatively, we could negotiate getting Done on a free (they don't want him, Wilder has said as much) and use the money they owe us to offset his wage decrease to some extent.

Given I don't know how much Sheff U owe us, it's hard to say how practical either of these approaches would be. I do believe they've been explored, though.

I'm guessing that the hold up in Done signing is down to the fact that, if he comes back to us, he would be taking too big a hit in his pay and that, as it stands, there is nothing that can be done to rectify that.

He's entitled to see out his contract at Sheff U, but risks not playing competitive football for a long time and then not getting as good an offer elsewhere at the end of his deal.

We've rescued him twice before in that regard.


Bang on, hence the reason he isn't here now, or won't be.

Having said all that the powers that be know exactly what he earns, so if there's no chance of giving him something close to that then why has he even been spoken to ?
We must be offering something worth while or it wouldn't have even got off the ground !
If he wants to play football every week under a manger he trusts for less money then you never know. Has anyone from the club said it won't be happening ?

Truth is Matt has about half a million quid coming over the next year. He won't earn that with us in 4 years. The only way he will join us is if united agree to terminate his contract or they loan him with most of wages covered by them. In fairness they can afford 300k or so to mutually agree termination (ched is on 14k a week plus bonuses) supposedly so it could happen. It's all down to if he has any use to sheff. If not I expect him to be here soon. If he is seen as a back up to first team then there is no chance of us getting him.

His wages are far too high for him to come back here. He's still only 29, played 30+ games for Sheff U last season, he'd have no reason to. Even if he left Sheff U, he could earn far more somewhere else. He isn't coming back here, people need to move on regarding old players signing back here. Seems to be an unhealthy obsession with it.

Are you stupid? Nobody has made this up. The club have been in talks with him.

I'm very stupid, thanks for asking! And you can 100% confirm the club have been in talks with him and are about to sign him?

I wish I had the same knowledge of all the clubs goings on as you do. I bow to your superiority.

I’ve this too amongst other rumours. It would make sense - 1 year to go on contract - 8k a week ish at S Utd. Dale offer 2.5k a week. That’s 5.5k a week shortfall.

There’s so may rumours and counter rumours that this a deal I’ll believe when I see the confirmed info on twitter. (The Official Dale site)

Could be the deals done at the very end of the window when they want him off the books and they haven't much choice but to pay him off. Up to that point clubs could come n and offer money for him. I'm wondering if with us that we are offering to take him for nothng to balance the money they may owe us. Nobody really knows I've heard the only issue stopping the deal is Sheffield Utd.

It was common knowledge and widely publicised when he joined them.

If the reported £8k a week figure is correct it makes you realise that its impossible to keep a player once a bigger club is interested. Can't see that he would have been on much more than £1k a week with us before he left.

Matt Done on 00:04 - Aug 3 with 3200 viewsThacks_Rabbits

I have been told he was on near 8k pre promotion. Chances are he had a promotion pay rise so he is way beyond what we can pay. Unless sheff pay him off. He has probably made around 2 million in his career so far so he should be well set up generally. It is all down to if he wants to play and if united pay him off.
