Livermore being English will have a relatively high price-tag Why is Bruce quoted as valuing him as £6m if we have a deal in place end of season at £3,5m? Is there any proof we have a first refusal on Livermore?
All we have is experts on here pretending they know the ins and outs. If Jake scored 10 goals for us, gets in the WC squad and does well, do you think Levy will say yes keep it at 3.5 mill!!!!
other than that Mirror article above, I haven't seen any. are you really allowed to make stuff up as a sports journalist?
For that one, I heard David Burns on tigersplayer stating we have a deal in place.. but I'm not naive enough to suppose that the price can't change according to performance, although we may or may not still retain first refusal..
It's ****ing easy to do so. As long as you don't put any quotes in it, you can get away with it. Usually you do it when there is nothing new to talk about.
Apologies for my typing error earlier. I agree Livermore should know. I will ring him now. His reply was "f**k off you nosey b*****d". I replied "if they want £10m for you you can f**k off back to the smoke". i hope that clarifies the situation.
So spurs could do a Hobbs and recall him, forcing us to loan him under new conditions? Or maybe to auction him early? Or maybe they are happy with the fee agreed? Which does seem odd given he Mirror quoting six and ten million options. Who knows what is going on!
Yes. Yes. This is what has been said, or tried to be said, which is that if they don't recall him the original deal remains in place.
Radio Humberside reported that if Tottenham recalled Livermore they would have to pay a 500k penalty clause. would this cause the £3.5 deal to be invalid? If the only way they could hope to achieve £6 million is to recall him then they may be inclined to do that. Or not recall him on the basis that we give them the price they are looking for at the end of the season. I wouldn't like to see him recalled. To lose Livermore and gain 500k and then have to get involved in an open market for his services in the summer might not work out well for us. It does not look like we will be able to sign him in this window for the £3.5 million price. There may be something in the mirror story and Tottenham may be looking for more money. I'd like him to sign but at what price?
