hakka Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Really impressed with the Hall signing. Potential future England player. The fewm from the Chelsea fans is also pretty sweet. We've done very well at not only adding quality to first team and squad depth, we have got a great amount of longevity for some of these players given their age.

HawK Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Real life now feels like one of my sketchy Newcastle FM saves where I only buy English players and after a few years it's basically Newcastle United in the World Cup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb question but something like a sell on fee would only apply to the period covered by the contract he initially signs here? I assume you can’t just sign a new deal immediately to invalidate a clause but when say the five years period of his initial deal is up that the sell on doesn’t apply anymore?

Different for every player/contract as far as I'm aware. Some sell on clauses can follow players through multiple clubs while others will only last a set period of time. We may never know what the details are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Absolutely tremendous signing this. Looking forward to the England teams having a fair few Newcastle players in coming years too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he's fell out with the club, as not heard him asking any questions at the press conferences this season. I presume he hasn't been in attendance.

Fair enough I’m just thinking it would be difficult to enforce once the initial deal period is complete. Sort of just feels Chelsea are trying to make it slightly cheaper if they ever want to try and get him back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 And if we have agreed to large sell on of course back fees this is poor business. I believe our owners are too smart to make such a bad deal though. The fee alone means we are the ones taking all the risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Aye no one sells a 18 year old without a sell on clause regardless of who you are selling and for how much. Buy back bit different but the player would want to have to return anyways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 IF there's a buyback clause, which is a massive "if", the player still has to want to leave. They still have to agree terms with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 When was the last buyback clause that actually got activated (at least a high profile one)? Seems pretty rare. Hopefully it's for an extortionate amount. Regardless I don't doubt should he get bought back one day we'll just sign someone else. I think everyone has this Ashley era anxiety about losing players as if it's the old days when a sale meant no players for a position for 2 seasons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
