David28 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 @Football_Agent9 Football Agent The release clause for Demba Ba only applies for Champions League teams. 2 minutes ago Dunno how reliable this person is (if at all). Would still be shit. And what counts as a Champions League team these days? City and Man Utd who already dropped out but will almost for sure qualify for next season? Spurs, who aren't in the CL but seem more and more likely to qualify? Arsenal and Chelsea who are still in there but aren't sure to qualify? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 @LukeEdwardsTele Luke Edwards Pardew refused to answer questions on Demba Ba clause. No confirmation, no denial so make your own minds up on its existence @MsiDouglas Mark Douglas But on Ba, evasion from AP. No comment on the release clause, answered his own imaginary question when I asked whether he wanted to keep him 4 minutes ago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Why would you want him to answer questions? the club have made their position clear to the media, why expect the manager to be fielding questions about it? He's there to talk about the match and the players playing in it. If he had any say in the club's transfer policy, it might be a different story...

TRon Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I think Ba will want to stay here anyway, but we'll probably have to give him an improved contract with the likes of Spurs hovering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn Dave you could have let it go on a bit to see how many more would update their twitter account a second after reading. You could have at least used his actual twitter username Tbh i don't know it . I was riding on the wave of my last successful attempt but it was always going to be hard with it being so soon. Anyway for what it's worth i really can't see him leaving and i think he'd be a fool to move in January. Probably picking up a very decent wage playing for a team that plays to his strengths. To me he's one of the most complete strikers out there and i'd actually prefer him to stay with you guys despite thinking he'd be an awesome signing. A bit like our Modric transfer saga to Chelski really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Can imagine Redknapp trying to bid though: Redknapp: 'I hear Ba has a release clause of £7m in his contract' Pardew: 'It's not club policy to talk about players contracts' Redknapp: 'But if we bid £7m you have to accept right?' Pardew: 'That's a nice watch you have there Harry' Redknapp: 'Stop changing the subject. We're bidding £7m, can we talk to him now?' Pardew: 'It's a free country' Redknapp: 'And offer him a contract' Pardew: 'It's not club policy to talk about contracts.' http://cdn3.wn.com/pd/7e/cb/0d2e82c59e6cde496dd91450ef97_grande.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorin Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 It's not too unrealistic to believe he does actually have a release fee, so I'm just basically waiting for someone to match it and give him an offer. Just hopefully we can persuade him to stay like Swansea did with Taylor... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. It's as good a time as any (when he is back in the country of course) to renegotiate. Although don't underestimate the evils of agents whispering in his ear.

Andy Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 It seems obvious that a clause exists, it's the nature of it that I'm interested in. If it was a simple buy-out clause I'm sure it would have already been activated. It might become active depending on our finishing position or something like that.
