Novocastrian Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Would seem a bit counterintuitive if we were inviting rivals like Liverpool, Chelsea et al. to come and take our best player off our hands next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 £100 million would be excellent business for us, as gutted as I would be to see him go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezzle Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Unless he is in top form the rest of the season it's still going to be a very small pool that can afford £100m+ throw in the fact he has to want to go too, who knows where we will be if/when that happens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 He's not worth £100m, but neither is Caicedo or Rice. I would have hoped it would be around £120m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that ship has sailed now, didn't realise they got gravenberch til yesterday. Think they will focus on defence and possibly replace salah next 18 months. In between that knacka crying he can't compete financially Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I see what they're doing here, our ffp will be mint when one of the Saudi clubs pay the release clause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) I also really don't think Romano listing the clause is anything worth anyone worrying over, if he wants to go his agent will be telling anyone who will listen.

wiseman Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Not worried about the release clause, if he really wanted to leave he wouldn't sign a new contract in the first place. I wouldve thought it would be higher though if we've just knocked back Liverpool's bid of 100mil for him. 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.
