Just checking because I don't know myself. Triggering release clause means that you definitely pay everything upfront? Not possible to have details in the contract that changes that?

Not 100% certain but I think in Spain these release clauses are mandatory and they're all sort of "standardised" in that respect. There's also the fact that Bilbao's Basque-only policy severely limits what they can spend in the market so they generally a) don't need the money and b) are very reluctant to sell their best players because it's much harder to replace them. So they'll make sure the deal is as difficult as they can. That's why Chelsea got completely rinsed for Kepa.

Have heard that Eze is a fan of the Goons is that true? Seriously hampers our chances if so if there is a bidding war.

I think he trained there and was released as a kid but not sure about anything else. You're probably right though

Are there new Eze rumours?

Williams isn’t supposedly too keen on leaving Spain presently and also getting him would require us triggering his release clause and Levy is never a fan of paying large fees upfront. Essentially he isn’t supposed to be a realistic option for us. It’s the same reason I struggle to see us getting Eze who supposedly has a release clause that is over 60 mil.

I saw a tweet on another spurs site earlier saying he’s open to leaving and England was his likely destination, but you know twitter, even if that was true I think we’d be far down his list of preferred destinations tbh

Not really comparable mate. Arsenal weren't in for either at the time.

I may be completely wrong here but didnt Herc intimate that we have 0% chance of signing him?

Are arsenal in for him? My point is I don’t think childhood support is a massive factor unless it’s a straight choice between one or the other, even then looking at the league and history you could understand why someone would choose the scum over us, sadly

Surely though, we're the nearest thing to what he has in Spain.

There he gets to play for Bilbao

Whereas here...

Was there anything directly linking him to us because last reports were suggesting City are favourites for him.

Some random tweet, I didn’t even look at the name of the source. I’m not on twitter, it was on another spurs site, 99% it was bollocks

It’s fairly common in a number of European leagues, some it’s even mandatory. In Spain it is and technically it’s the player who pays the release clause not the buying club, for example when Neymar moved to PSG he essentially triggered his 200 mil release clause in his contract but really it was PSG paying for it. Majority of release clauses need to be paid in full upfront in order to be triggered but sometimes clubs will decide to accept a structured deal instead. But in such cases they won’t be obliged to accept. What you will sometimes see is a team paying over a players release clause and when that happens it’s usually due to the deal being structured rather than upfront in full.

In the uk release fees aren’t mandatory and thus are often kept secret by a club. It will sometimes be written into a player’s contract that although a player will be allowed to leave if X money is offered the agent + player aren’t allowed to make it know publicly what that number is. In Leagues where it is mandatory it’s usually public knowledge what the number is. I don’t know if you remember the time Arsenal tried to sign Suarez for 50 mil(I think it was) because they believed he had a release clause of that number and it turned out he didn’t.

Essentially whilst obviously a player who has a release clause isn’t always sold for that number it will be up to the club if they ether choose to accept a lesser fee or how it’s structured. If the whole fee is paid up front in one go they have zero say in the matter.

This. Williams won’t go for anything less then his release clause, he is in no hurry to leave and AB aren’t in any hurry to sell.

Not that it makes it any better but this hamstring injury is the opposite leg (left) to the last one he had this season. Supposedly he had feeling some discomfort in it since their last game but the scans were clear so they started him.

Don’t waste money on him. Good player, but you cannot ignore his injury record over the past three years, also his slow recoveries.

My biggest concern is the money for sure. Very good player but feels like the price he’ll go for doesn’t fit with our business - unless he’s 100% main man Ange wants, I can’t imagine we’ll spend big on him

Napoli 7th in Serie A now.

Go spend 70m or 80m on Kvaratskhelia than 50 or 60m on Neto.

LW has to be a big name game changer for me. No better & bigger than him. Neto for all the great work he does he is tier 2 for me + there is injury concerns

And Napoli’s next three league games are Inter, Atalanta and Monza (who are no push overs this season) they could really drop down the table. Imo Kvara should far and away be our top target.

You would think having been high on our list previously would put us back on track with him.

The issue I see is someone like Bayern or United going for him.

Yes, United are a mess but with the new investment/restructuring they may have ' a new dawn'.

Kvara will be on a lot of club's list of they can afford him.

If anything, not many clubs can actually spend coming summer given the PSR. United have a lot more bigger holes to fill than buy a player at a position where they already have decent cover in Rashford

One would hope we would, he certainly ticks pretty much every box for a wide player in this system. Like you say we have a long standing interest so hopefully we are still watching his situation.

Yes It will probably be tough to get him as Osimhen will likely go and Napoli are hardly strapped as it is but I still think it might be possible.

Like you say a lot of teams will probably be sniffing. Napoli have been an absolute mess this season and I’m not convinced they will sort it out come summer regardless how much money they have to spend. Seria A is extremely strong this season with a lot of teams that have been drifting recent seasons pulling their pants up like Bologna and now Roma under De Rosi.

Considering the financial position we are in currently I would hope we give him some serious thought as he would immediately elevate our front line quite significantly imo.

Would love him but I imagine he will cost a ridiculous sum like £80m+

Yeah he will probably be expensive but still worth monitoring depending on how the rest of Napoli’s season finishes.

He would certinaly elevate our attacking play. Would be perfect for the LWF position.
