This seems reasonable. But why wouldn’t he just go with the squad? He could have gone. Trained but not played? Or are they just taking him out of the firing line type of thing?
Just been reading some things and I am unsure but unless there is a buyout clause in his contract he simply can’t do it.
I don’t think he could just do that though as he doesn’t have a buyout clause. If players could do that then buying clubs with just give him a 17m signing on fee and then he pays it out and we get **** all. Clubs would never make any money.
Yes but then there is an equivalent replacement signing he'd have to make as well as other things. Total over £100m
Wissa likely to sign according to Downie. Isak also likely to stay. Moves for Scalvini, Van Hecke and El Khannouss being prepared.
No buyout clause. If he has a release clause then he could activate that - But it would be circa £100+ million and everyone would know about it. He's ****ed. We hold the cards and we should start dealing them. Fine him for ****ing breathing the waste of oxygen
I think Isak will stay. I also think we will sign Wissa. But not sure about any more. El Khannouss is quite an interesting one as I liked him when I seen him play.
I think we are likely to tell him it’s too late in this window but we would consider selling next summer. In the meantime he has to play for his WC chances and as such we still get him for another 12 good months.
