Yeah absolutely, but that’s why it seems weird that anyone would be bidding above the release clause - once the clause is met, it’s then entirely down to the player whether he wants to move or not. The only reason I could think for this is mentioned above, maybe neither club wants to pay in full and therefore are willing to bid above the clause instead so they can pay it via instalments.

If you have a cashflow problem then it is a useful workaround.  You coul always throw some of the early money at the player wages so that he accepts your terms.

It’s exactly how it works. It’s more of a eBay ‘buy it now’ rather than Auction. 
 

If a release clause is set at X, if you offer X then the player is free to agree terms with you. Little the selling club can do. 
 

Id expect Marseille have offer 2m more but in instalments rather than a lump sum, which the release fee needs to be paid at. 

But if the buy it now clause is X and we offer X the player can speak to you and the club can’t stop it, why does it make any difference if another club offers more? The selling club have to sell to the club that offer the release clause of the player wants to go to them regardless of if they’ve got a higher bid

On it doesn’t. If we’ve agreed to pay the release clause in full, then we’re free to talk to the player. 
 

It seems in this case, the player just didn’t want to come here.

Fly the new lads straight to Newcastle, they can run straight onto the pitch as soon as they sign on the dotted line

A royal rumble style football match would be amazing. Every 5 minutes each manager picks a player from both squads and they go onto the pitch.

How about offering players agent a big bonus as a non disclosure deal, so to keep deals quiet

Because an agents job is to look after the best interests of the player. Keeping a deal quiet for a team destine for relegation, to prevent potentially other interest from better clubs isn’t really doing that.. is it. 
 

It also doesn’t stop the selling club from leaking things to get a better price.

Think our negotiation team could do with learning from the CIA's rendition program.

Grab the player and agent, fly them to an undiscolsed location and make them read MLG's post history until they sign.

Similar to lawie signing keegan 😂 lock them in the office until they sign.

More likely to top themselves than sign for a football club at that point.

Cant find any planes from the following airports scheduled, on the ground or en-route to us or Farnborough.

Vitinha - Porto/Braga/Vigo

Sulemana - Rennes

Maybe someone with actual access might be helpful but spare a thought to the person who has to organise these last minute flights.

There's a private flight from Groningen, so maybe Southampton are going for Ricardo Pepi who they were linked with a year or so ago. Just a guess

That could take a while if you included the emoji’s, they’d have to go through a few hundred frowny faces.

Honestly not a fan. I'd stick her in the recycling bin.

She was a very pretty girl, but then went under the knife too many times......there again if it meant she wasnt having you chasing her perhaps she might think it was the correct route. lol

Hope you are well mate
