Yeah but spurs have an interest in the contract and would therefore have to agree to any variation. More likely they would simply insist on the clause transferring.
He's our player. If Spurs want him they have to pay 6 million and he has to agree to go there. I don't think he'll go back there because he'll never be a first team player. It's nothing worth worrying about, imo.
I'd be shocked if we don't get 2 or 3 in this week. That will still leave us looking at a couple more next week with a few leaving either permanently or on loan.
Same plus possibly Diamond if the club don't see him developing to where we are aiming for. I can see Hume, Dajaku and Matete going out on loan depending who comes in.
Thought AN said we were close on 2? Edit. Just seen the attention seeker parody twitter account so the above should be IGNORED
You might be right - but that would make absolutely no sense, in any way. The contract is between us and Spurs, not Spurs and Cirkin or us and Cirkin. Spurs would never sign up to a deal that is tied to a contract they have no control over. That makes that contract not worth the paper its written on. Cirkin could have come and immediately signed a "new" contract to wipe that buy back clause out. The buy back "clause" will be part of a TRANSFER contract not a player one. That clause may well have been given an expiry date which coincided with the day his initial playing contract expires, but I've not seen anywhere that suggests that is the case.
Yes that's true, but I can't see Spurs ( Levy ) leaving themselves open to that. If, come the time his 'market value' is, say £15 million, and Cirkin says no to Spurs and then we sell him for £15 million ( to Arsenal !! ) - can you imagine the fall out from them. It depends on the wording in the contract which obviously we are not privvy to. Anyway nothing to worry about in the short term, and hopefully Dennis will be happy to stay with us.
No - otherwise he could have signed such a deal with us on day 2 and the clause would have been irrelevant. No way such a clause is tied to HIS playing contract. At best it will be tied to the date of the expiry of the initial contract (so end of next season). The clause will not be affected by him signing a new contract with us. Its just bonkers to do otherwise. Spurs wouldn't sign up to a deal that allows us to just do away with the terms as we feel like it.
Losing that league cup game was a double bonus for us this year in that it allows us more time this week to concentrate on transfers. normally you want to be in the first couple of rounds to give your fringe players some game time. but we don't have any fringe players
