I wouldve thought it would be higher though if we've just knocked back Liverpool's bid of 100mil for him. It said in the region so safe to say it would break whatever Chelseas record fee is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 MBS not arsed about sports washing, aiming for 1.5% GDP thats what matters, all the best players will end up in the Saudi league, and this is an easy trigger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 No issues with the release clause over 100m for him would likely put him in the top ten most expensive footballers of all time. It also means no protracted negotiations if there is a pursuit - there’s your price - pay it or fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejaxer Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Either way, if the clause does get activated, it's nice knowing it'll be reinvested into the squad. Not just lining up some fat cunts wallet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Thought he’d been shite for the last 6 months anyway, why are people worried about a £100m + release clause anyway? Who’s going to play that for someone who should be on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 The release clause is fairly standard in most other countries so not too worried, does seem a bit low though. I just don’t know why the info would leak quite so easily though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 You'd take £120m for him all day long. Just think how many Harvey Barnes we could get for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes23 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Disappointed to see there is a release clause. I don't think it will have been our suggestion and I don't think it will benefit us should we ever decide to sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If clubs are offering £90m which would be considered, and we've a release clause for £120m we say to player and club, thats what's agreed so meet it or its not happening. That's our valuation and the player agreed to it, there's no lower and we want it all upfront. Tbf, no club is paying £100m+ upfront, so it'll always be in our hands to accept.

Abacus Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Surely the release clause only matters if he actually wants to go. Key thing to him staying is that we stay an ambitious club on the up that equally ambitious players want to come to. May be deluded here, but can't think of more than half a dozen clubs right now that would be both tempting to go to and would also have the money to release him.

TRon Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Not that angry about the release clause, from the player's POV it's fair enough. It should have been about £150m in today's market though, there's quite a few clubs that won't think twice on spending £100m on a player of his quality.

GEFAFWISP Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Is this where he turns into Aubameyang or Ozil post big Arsenal contract then? Worrying. Edited September 23, 2023 by GEFAFWISP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEFAFWISP Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I've always found him to be strongest in the 60-80 minute mark of games where tired legs afford more space and he begins to swagger, orchestrate and properly take over the midfield jousting. He's still doing that even in this slight form slump so not too worried really, unless he does go the Ozil route... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 He’s not going the Ozil route or similar. He’s obsessed with performing well and improving. He’s got huge drive, this will have a positive impact on his play in my opinion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More seriously we could have had two Szoboszlai’s (would have been a great fit for us imo) for that plus the additional expenditure £100m gives you FFP wise. (Just checked Liverpool seemingly got him for ’only’ £52m). Edited September 23, 2023 by Coffee_Johnny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing too deep to be at his most effective IMO, he's not a natural no 6. Even for Brazil he plays alongside Casimero who is probably the more defensive of the duo.
