We have. The Pochettino with his arm around a player thing became a meme last season because of it.

We gave out loads. I think that Alderweireld was about the only one that didn't get one.

Thats because he is on nearly twice what Vertonghen gets paid already.
Toby = 75k pw
Vert = 40k pw

Apparently it's because he wants to have a release clause and Levy won't have them.
They're not beneficial to the club in any way, so I can't really argue with that.

They are, because if you put one in, you get to keep the player.
I would never sign a professional contract without a release clause.
The club could make it high as **** to make sure they are compensated, but going in without a release clause just causes **** like what we are seeing now with VVD, Coutinho, Sanchez, Rose etc.

That's not a real benefit. At the very least, it's heavily weighted to the player.
I wouldn't sign anyone with a buy-back clause, either. They shouldn't be allowed.
 
<doh>
The main story was published yesterday, and today The Sun is claiming that Rose got a hero's welcome.

There is no way the paper could know what kind of reception he got.

Give the story at least 48 hours to make this kind of bollocks seem even half plausible!

Are you being serious?

****ing hell.

The story went out in yesterday's copy of The Sun. Which means it was printed and in shops yesterday morning before training started. Which means there is a chance the players saw the story and talked about it at training.

Not saying the story is true but of course it's plausible you idiot.

What a child.


Wow take it easy old timer - just using the same **** logic that was thrown at Arsenal by Spurs fans in the past when we were having to sell players.
It seems you boys like to dish it out but can't take anything back.

Watching bigger clubs take your best players whilst you defend Levy to the hilt, will be hilarious.

Perhaps we should go in for Kane so that he can play for his boyhood team

At least you're not holding a grudge, eh? <laugh> Nice meltdown, kiddo. <ok>
 
Because they allow clubs with ridiculous advantages to take the piss out of everyone else.
They're all reward and no risk.
But without the clause, the smaller club would never have been sold the player in the first place......

I think that you mean larger club.
That's up to them. That doesn't mean that they should be able to insert unreasonable clauses into everything.

If its unreasonable, the buying club doesnt need to accept.
They can look elsewhere.
