Andy84 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Wasn't it mentioned a while back that there was no such clause , press clearly have nowt to write about Its bollocks, I remember the sameoutlets writing articles about how we where financially f***ed a few eeks before the end of the season as we had players on big money without any relegation clauses. Nah, I'm sure that was to do with wages. No clauses were put in Shelveys/Townsends contracts to reduce their salary in the event of relegation. Its been widely reported Townsend does have a release clause though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been widely reported Townsend does have a release clause though It would be insanity to have an £8m release clause for a player we paid £12m for 6 months ago. Mike Ashley doesn't do insanity clauses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Luke Edwards @LukeEdwardsTele 3m3 minutes ago Townsend's release clause is £13m, which means #nufc will make a £1m profit if he goes this summer. Benitez will try to keep him though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 if only pardew was still here. at least then we'd have known the real release clause. and he wouldnt have fannied on like rafa. we would have known it within 48 hours of the seasons's end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Other than it being London, Palace does not make much sense unless he is desperate to leave at any cost., Where will he fit in, will Pardew improve him (no, judging his record here), will he get a significant pay rise? West Ham are meant to be interested but surely he would be a squad player there. To me, it would make sense to wait until January to see how we are doing because the current options don't seem that great at the moment - although of course that could change by the end of August.

Marmoset Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 If it was 8m he'd probably get a chunky signing on fee and a bit of a wage rise. Would hope and he seems he has a bit more about him than that though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Along with chancel the only two players I don want to lose. Rated him before he came, rate him even more since he came. Don't begrudge him a move but desperate for him to stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on the fringes like Townsend needs to keep himself in the picture. I really like the lad. But it's in his best interests to leave. He's too good to play in the Championship. If he can get regular first team football for a decent side he could cement his spot in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can get regular first team football for a decent side he could cement his spot in the squad. I get the too good to play in the Championship stuff, but spending one season in there to help the side with the best chance of going back up is hardly going to hurt him. In fact the 40+ games he could get if he stays injury free could do him wonders, given how little two top tier games he's played for a 24 year old. If we fail to go up he can of course make noises to leave, but everything makes sense to stick with it and come back up with us. I'm hoping he does and think he will.

Dave Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Townsend playing 1 year in the Chanpionship will have minimal bearing on his England career. He only got in the provisional squad because we bought him, and he openly acknowledged that fact the other day. I think he could be tempted by a better club, but I don't see him being desperate to leave or owt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's what, 8-9 games played during next season. He won't be considered for them. We might also have a different national team manager. I want him to stay. But I just don't see how it's in his best interest to stay. He's not played a lot of PL football and he's 24. Another season out the spotlight. We'll see how things develop. West Ham, Everton and the like should be in for him if they have any sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
