He still has to want to go but if the release clause is met and he wants to go then yeah it’s over 

He doesn’t want go………… yet. Hopefully come season 25/26 we’re competing at a level that he’s happy with. If not then maybe.

It would be a massive loss to see him go. He is player of the season by quite a margin for me and our most important player.

 

That said, with the size of the release clause and Tonali ready to replace him, I am sure we will still continue our upward trajectory if he goes.

I’d assume the release clause is only active up to a certain point in the summer. I can’t see us letting it be possible for him to leave right up until the deadline.

Damn this release clause. It’s like setting a pessimistic buy it now price on EBay, when you’ve got two buyers who desperately want your product!

As I’ve said, Edward’s is wrong about the house.

 

You don’t insist on a release clause and then buy a house, regardless of how happy you are somewhere. 
 

That’s not why I’m stating Edward’s is wrong btw but it is stating the obvious. Houses like that aren’t all that easy to sell given the limited market.

Tbf he could pay off the mortgage with his signing-on fee.

 

Doesn’t mean that he’s going anywhere, but buying a house in the area is meaningless in terms of his staying or going.

 

My two-penneth-worth would be that the only club in England Bruno leaves for is Man City.  If they meet the asking price I think he’s likely to go.  Hopefully not, though.

Yeah we know Edwards is a pessimistic scrote, but if that release is triggered, he's gone right? I know people will be saying it's up to the player, but I'm sure agents will influence and a club like City will sell him the dream with little need to convince. 

 

Pretty sure our entourage wouldn't have agreed the buyout, but, I guess they looked at 100m and thought if someone pays that our FFP ceiling is raised. 

 

I guess if it did happen, we have to accept this is the way we will need to progress and evolve until financial obstacles change.

I’m no fan of Edwards but the moment you put a realistic release clause in a contract it’s bound to fuel speculation mind. 
 

Especially when two players of roughly the same level in the same position went for the same money as the clause.

He is gone if it’s triggered by someone of creature stature than us. It’s just how things are and we can largely blame FFP and PSR for it.

Pretty sure any club would agree with the player and then trigger the clause.

I can´t see him going to another prem league club, it would be extremely short sighted on our behalf. A barcelona or madrid would not hurt so much and most brazilian players tend to see those as their dream destination...

It's a truism that any Newcastle player is going to leave if Real Madrid offer £100m. It's pointless thinking about it. 

 

The thought of seeing him lose the CL final in a Real Madrid shirt as we lift the trophy already saddens me a little.

Thats the same for any club in England. Same with Barcelona and Bayern. Maybe PSG for the $$ they offer in wages.

The rumours won’t go away because people like Luke need a job. 

 

Exactly. Rumors about Almiron getting sold won't generate many clicks. If it's likely that our star players will stay, how do they generate clicks? They make up their own stories.
