Stuy_O Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 He can pay off the remaining two years of his contract once 3 have expired? First time i'v heard this ever mentioned. Doesn't sound like something Ashley would approve of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 2 years of his wages would be a canny lump of money like, plus i cant imagine we would incorporate that into such a valuable players contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Don't care if we get no money from him, if we lose him now our season will be substantially worse, and our worse position in the table will make us struggle to sign anyone of high enough caliber. Plus it shows we have no ambition apart from just making a profit from selling players. Oh wait that's probably exactly our ambition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Im confused if this is something unique to his contract or can all players do it? Edit: He says all deals have it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHoob Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 People will think of anything to have a good moan. That clause potentially applies to every single footballer in the world, there's a whole lot more to it that someone just deciding they want to buy out their own contract.

midds Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 If a clause was there then there is no way he'd still be here now. The transfer to Arsenal would have gone though in the summer. Ashley's a fucking arsehole of the highest order but he wouldn't see one of his biggest assets leave for a pittance, no way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That clause potentially applies to every single footballer in the world, there's a whole lot more to it that someone just deciding they want to buy out their own contract. Exactly. If this clause was so straight forward, we would have seen a lot more top level footballers move by now. You would have expected a sports journalist to do more research rather than being so eager to come up with something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Julien Laurens @LaurensJulien 12m @cseden @GFN_France desperate guess work by who? It exists for all five year contracts in the world!!! Didn't even get the Webster ruling correct. Said ruling says you can buy out your contract after 3 years if you sign it before the age of 28, and after 2 years if signed after age 28. Nothing to do with the length of the contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Should have done the same to Gomis last summer too. Inept DoF didn't catch on to the loophole! @LaurensJuliens exactly. And no complications, some players have done it in the past, some wi in the future too. 'No complications'. we got taken to court over Jonas! Practically every player who used that ruling got taken to court! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Can't imagine Cabaye forking out £5,000,000+ for that. I'm assuming it's illegal for the club to then reimburse the player once he moves? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Didnt Ben Arfa run away from Marseille, to force the club to loan him to us until a fee could be agreed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Seems odd to me why Laurens has even mentioned it, given it's so rare a player enforces it. His tweet basically warns us to sell him before losing out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 It's a right load of shite. Try this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matuzal%C3%A9m#Real_Zaragoza_and_breach_of_contract_saga Add Mike Ashley into the mix, and a player valued at £15m+. 'No complications' indeed.

LRD Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 He'll just have to refuse any new contract, play on for another year before getting his move. There's no way we will miss out on a transfer fee with a year left by then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Laurens is a shit stirrer, French Balague basically. This is of no surprise really, he did the same last summer or summer before i think it was with a Mvila to Arsenal story consistently repeating he's in for a medical today all summer which he got a lot of abuse over from Arsenal fans i know and ones i don't know I don't mind him when he's on BT but as far transfers are concerned he's as bad as all the other attention seeking journos.
