Think his dad is equally relieved

Have our friends down the road used this as proof that he's shit yet?

Lacks ambition. Happy to play for tin pot club. Happy to accept blood money. Happy to play for Beheadie Howe etc...

Is it worth noting that Louise Taylor in the guardian is still reporting that the release clause ends at the end of June?

Yes and if he was sold for let's say 60m then to me it just proves the club intended to sell him and only put a clause in to get maximum value.

Why in the world would we sell him for 60m

It's obviously a good thing.  If a 100 million offer had come in we would have had to let Bruno go if he wanted. Now we can tell Arsenal or anyone else to bugger off regardless of whether they offer 30 million or 300 million and whether he wants to leave or not. 

don't do that - people won't have anything to worry about or judge the club for.

I agree that if we sell him we need to become less reliant on him.

weren't tonali and bruno being rotated at the start of last season?

Thought the idea was interchangeable double pivot, also can cover each position in the event of one missing for whatever reason.

It does take a bit of effort to think of the expiry of the clause as a negative, but we're pretty damn good at this by now.

If we signed mbappe for free on £50k a week somewhere on here would find fault with it.

“Anyone else think that this is a sign that Mbappe’s on his way down? I get the sense he couldn’t handle the pressure at a club like Real so wanted to big a big fish in a smaller pond. I don’t know, I might be wrong but that’s how I see it”

Got to question his ambition

Might aswell put doable clauses in every contract. That way we won't have to sell our players on the cheap. I for sure won't be getting any sleep until they finally put a £100m buyout clause in Isaks contract to end my fears of him getting sold for £50m.

Only N-O would be worried about release clause, then, it expire. And then reset worry and repeat the manic behavior.

She has used "end of June" before in a general sense, meaning somewhere towards the end of the month.  She also reported that he'd bought a new house when he hadn't.

Not Worrying.

Will the release clause start over next year?

Are we trying to save money on vowels for the back of the shirts now for Christ sake - you can’t run a club like this.

 Well, we've never once signed Jérémie Aliadière.

 

Questions must be asked.

Let's see what happens now we don't have the leverage to demand £100m.

 

Would love to see the lad turning out for us again next season, but a bit worried that he'll have been playing relentlessly for ages, come the end of Copa America. 

 

We need to become less reliant on him whether we sell him or don't.

 

The release clause was the value deal.

 

His actual value to the club will be higher than the release clause fee.

 

Typically the release clause agreed with a player is a compromise, to make it more straightforward for them to leave if certain clubs come in for them.

 

The release clause expiring doesn't mean we are more vulnerable to lower bids. You can still accept lower bids even with a release clause in place.

[HayDen Traces]

Retaining Bruno and Isak this window shows just how far we've come in a few short years.

Under Ashley they'd both have been stripped for parts and sold a long time ago...

[Menace]

Still plenty of time to be fair 😏

[Dokko]

I'm guessing with the last minute panic from the club and Bruno's previous comments about maybe having to leave, then the club always thought someone would trigger the release clause and he'd be someone else's payer right now. 

[Barnes23]

I hope that isn't the case as it would seriously call their judgement into question.
