Window Cleaner Posted 30 January, 2018 Share Posted 30 January, 2018 I wouldn't pay that amount for him............... unproven at prem level could be gash No, no you've got it all wrong, the "fans" want a constant stream of new players, costing greater and greater sums. Whether they'll be of any use is neither here nor there.. Last year it was Boufal and then Gabbi followed by Lemina. None of them starts every game though. On the other hand those old faves JWP, Long and Davis start more often than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aintforever Posted 30 January, 2018 Share Posted 30 January, 2018 Think we need to accept that we are not going to get value for money. We've just sold a player for £75mill and are staring relegation in the face - we're going to get fleeced whoever we buy. No point being tight fisted and end up relegated.

Sheaf Saint Posted 30 January, 2018 Share Posted 30 January, 2018 BBC are reporting that he wants to come to us. If the rumours about him being at SMS for the Watford game are to be believed, then he has probably already agreed personal terms. This latest 'rejection' seems to me to be just a standard part of any negotiation. We want to pay amount X, Spartak want amount Y, and we'll end up agreeing an amount somewhere in between. Just look at the number of bids that Arsenal had turned down for Aubameyang before it finally happened today. I have no ITK credentials, but I'm fairly confident this will still happen. It seems to be too far down the line to fall through now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel Posted 30 January, 2018 Share Posted 30 January, 2018 Who needs the deal more, us or Spartak? Has to be Spartak's record outgoing transfer, but it's us in the bottom three... not surprised they're squeezing us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 30 January, 2018 Share Posted 30 January, 2018 If he isn't for sale why are they asking for 30m then? Have we not established that there's a buy out clause in activity and that the figure is 30 million something or others ? This is how release clauses work, you pay the exact sum and the player is free to move on no matter what the club holding the contract with the clause wants. Thing is it's usually all payable at once in that case. Clubs may however negociate a lesser sum and different terms but for that they have to want to do that. If they don't well it's pay up or tough titty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it depends on the terms of the release clause in each contract doesn’t it? Because that's the way they work. A player literally buys his freedom, there is no never, never on release clauses. A club who which wants to sell may negaociate another sort of deal but if it's a straightforward release clause someone pays and the player is a free agent.
