Eh, Liverpool famously refused to honour Suarez's release clause and got away with it. I mean what are we (or Promes) going to do? Take them to court in Russia?
Now I'm even more confused. Think it's time to give up on all this logic and rational thought and just start praying.
Don't think they've really done anything that bad have they? I mean yeah, the stuff with the contract and Promes getting some of the fee sounds a bit weird but I'm sure I've heard of similar situations elsewhere.
Doubt it. It hasn't scared players off signing for Liverpool. My guess is it would need to be Promes who actually took any action - it's a contract between him and Spartak after all so they could easily do something similar to what Liverpool did with Suarez - give him a pay rise for now and let him go in the summer.
Difficult to judge with so much misinformation around, but it appears we have made 3 offers, the player has decided he wants to come (so it is rumoured) yet they want to hold us to ransome to get as much as they can, which will end up with them getting zilch and they will be left with an unsettled player?
There's a lot to be said for that old school dignity in the face of adversity. Meanwhile the passengers (fans) are flapping and squawking like a bunch of terrified hens.
Depends on the conditions of the release clause, Liverpool said that they just needed to "inform Suarez of offers over £40m".
Yeah the release clause really doesn't mean much to be honest. Same with Kante when he went to Chelsea.
