I’ve read somewhere that Trafford was contractually obliged to sign for Man City if they met the conditions of the clause. Something that Trafford was aware of and agreed to when he signed for Burnley from them. He didn’t have a choice seemingly

Is that true?  Never heard of a ‘forced buyback’ clause; seems incredible that it’s possible without the player’s permission. 

Thats what I’m saying. Trafford agreed to this 2yrs ago on his departure. Hence why it was never the slam dunk others made it out to be. If a bid was accepted Man City had deal in place with Burnley to match any bid accepted and deal with Trafford in place that if they did match he’d automatically return. 

 

NUFC finally chanced their arm when they found out Dubs was willing to be part of the deal hence he was left behind from the tour and we could do one in/out on the GK front. So we bid £27m for Trafford and Dubs was around £2m the other way. Burnley notified Man City as legally obliged and within 10mins everything was cancelled with us and he was off back to Man City.

 

Explains the Edward’s tweet which he deleted as he got wind of what happened.

Looks like Liverpool are getting a 20 percent discount on all players.

 

why shouldn't they? they are the champagne of football, so brilliantly run, full of integrity, honor and do things the right way. In fact, have you read about their revolution? Oliver Kay wrote a masterful peice that honestly doesn't do that wonderful football institution the justice it deserves.
