Should we be worried?

calciomercato is about as reliable as the Mirror.

they had us swapping Lamela for Brozic.

The deal breaker here is = Poch

Nobodys going anywhere.

Yeah although if he refuses to sign a new deal we might be forced into a Carrick situation where we have to sell him with 2 years left. He's worth £50M odd so Levy isn't going to let his contract run into its last 2 years and potentially lose £30M or so.

What concerns me..........Would DL really allow a release clause in any of his dealings? I would take DL as being more astute than that

 

[Roynie]

It's all bull shit. There is a real togetherness throughout the squad. DL knows the potential of everyone in it and has been renewing contracts like it's going out of fashion. They all, love Poch and unless someone falls out of favour or asks for a transfer then they won't go.

It's Conte's friends stirring up mischief.

Just dug up my old post on Glory Glory on this issue, when the release clause rumour first came about. It's as true now as it was then:


Sorry....people thought that DANIEL LEVY, the guy who got Luka Modric to sign a contract extension based on a "gentleman's agreement" and then told him he'd rather let him rot in the reserves than sell him to Chelsea until he eventually got his head down and started playing again, would accept a release clause of less than what City paid for either Mangala or Otamdendi, for TOBY ALDERWEIRELD?

I really despair for the world. There's an acceptable level of stupid in any society but it's 2016 and we have far too many people pushing well beyond it these days.

 

[TottenhamMattSpur]

You're telling me you wouldn't sign Messi on the condition he has a sensible release clause?

Toby is the Messi of centre backs.

 

[Shadydan]

What rhymes with Alderweireld?!

All around the world

I can only winner this post once, dont hate me for it, but I do apologise.

There is no such thing as a sensible release clause

 

[JerryGarcia]

Maybe it is because we don't have a song for him and he feels left out so wants to leave. Likewise Walker.

Al-der-weir-eld's silver hammer came down on his head...

Just need all the rest of the words now

Al-der-weir-eld's silver hammer made sure that he was dead?

Not the most cheerful tune when you think about it.

ok, I'll rephrase it. A sum of money that would allow that player to move to a bigger club should certain conditions be met.

Transfer fees are getting so ridiculous now that clubs can hold players to ransom. A player Might think "yeah, I'll go and play for Spurs, but not if they won't let me join Madrid for any less than €100m"
I'd take a player that could win us the league and give him that clause. As long as there's no loss and a sell on clause Why would you turn down the best players in the world?

Maybe fitting when we put the final nail in Wilshere's coffin next year when he returns with West Ham?

Because they can leave as soon as someone wants them, this destabilises the club. Lets say that Janssen had a £25mil release clause and is tearing it up next season, scores 21 by Christmas and Kane can't even get a look in. Bayern/Barca/Man United/Real/City or even Arsenal decide in January that they want a bit of that, for him an extra £50k a week and boom, there goes an on fire striker for peanuts.

No club can hold a player to ransom, if they're that set on leaving they can buy out their contract or just run down their contract and leave on a free.
A player wants the riches that come with playing at the top level, a contract where their employer dictates the value of the player/asset is the cost of doing business, it protects the clubs, enabling them to continue to offer high wages and ensures that the system works.

I wouldn't give any player a release clause.
But to get the best player to come, I'd give them a well worded one.

Levy would only agree to a gentleman's handshake.

So you're saying that a release clause should only be effective at a certain date?

Which is what the press have been saying about Toby?

Everyone panic!!!!
