IF he is our number one target (?) then you don’t worry about add on’s. No nothing about him but if he’s who your manager wants and you are that close it will get done. If the player REALLY wants to come then I’m all for it.
TBF thought Arsenal got a lot of undue stick for that as it was a £40m release clause, or so they thought. Liverpool argued it only give them permission to talk to the player. All very weird.
"Sources also insist that there is unlikely to be a release clause in the deal should the club be relegated, but in return Trippier will not take a drop in salary should they fail to stay in the top-flight."
NUFC paid less for for Almiron than we did Owen. The fanfare of him being our record signing was a complete lie from Charnley & Co. He cost circa £16.5m.
And when I say he I mean Owen. Almiron deal was sub that but would increase if certain targets met.
