Mathieu Debuchy

[SAK]

?

has a release clause but they might not sell if they dont want to?

 

has my understanding of a release clause changed?

 

See bid last year for Taylor from Swansea, we bid the clause amount and still didn't sign him.

Really strange that one.

It may well have something to do with the wording of the clause. Wasn't it that they said the clause simply said Taylor was allowed to talk to clubs if there was a bid of a certain amount, rather than them actually having to accept the offer. Maybe we didn't want to get involved in a prolonged and expensive legal dispute with Swansea.

[Wilson]

we know something they dont know that we know

 

[arnonel]

I thought Taylor didnt come to us because he accepted a new contract from Swansea, not because Swansea refused.

As i remember it you could talk to the player if you bid the minimum clause (not a release clause), you then had to arrange a fee with Swansea.

Phillipe Auclair said on talksport around 2:45pm that Debauchy, like Cabaye has a release clause in his contract but Lille might not sell as they don't need the money after selling Hazard

 

Did he say how much?

Bidding the amount in the clause doesn't guarantee the player wanting to come does it?

Very true, this is when the wages pursuade most players.

No but the Cabaye clause does

[Unbelievable]

I don't think he'll do that, but we must have had good signs from him and/or his agent considering he's still away with France and said only the other day that he wasn't considering his future until after the Euros.

 

Well he did put those tweets about us on his Twitter..

From Ligue 1 commentator and reporter David Crossan on Twitter (@davidmcrossan, worth a follow, usually has good information):

 

"This #Debuchy stuff is just standard negotiating ploy to increase fee. About 6.5 mill pounds (8 mill euros) could be accepted by #lille"

 

6.5 million seems a reasonable compromise for a player of his obvious quality.

that took a little bit to get my head around

I think we would pay that as well.

didn't pay much less for Santon I think so yeah very possible we'd pay that but obvious we're chancing our arms at a lower fee

I think we do it with every signing we try to make tbf.....the Luuk De Jong offer is below thier value, Cisse was below thier value, Ben Arfa was etc etc.

 

It's just smart negotiating start low and just go from there.... much rather that then do what some other clubs do and pay more than what a club wants just because they can.

 

[RR15]

I remember the days we offered Everton 20 million for Rooney.

 

[Yorkie]

I remember the days we offered Everton 20 million for Rooney.

 

 

Days after Manu had a bid of the same amount rejected.

[jdckelly]

when we needed a defender

[RR15]

5.5 Million offer from MA coming soon.

[James]

And Freddy Shepherd's business partner who happened to be Paul Stretford, Rooney's agent needed a favour.

 

Now they part own Rangers assets.

With Cissé we waited until he was available at that price. I hope we don't do the same this time around.

 

As for De Jong, I can't see us bidding more than £10m.

Neither can i, but i reckon that will be enough.
