This would not surprise me. What's in it for the Allams to spend anything if they are selling. Any expenditure might complicate the sale.
What release clauses? If you refer to the ones heavily publicised last season they were activated on relegation. They're now deactivated.
Er, protect the value of the club? One of the weirder posts. Any extra assets purchased can be added to the value of the club.
In the Premier, following the loan signing of Alvaro Negredo from Valencia, Middlesbrough chief Aitor Karanka says his side’s transfer business is almost done - bar the search for a new centre-half. - Yorkshire Post
A guy on my local park bench said we're after Naismith. I trust him way more than some cabby or some guy at Swanland snooker club.
Just make sure Steve is asked the question by RH. I've already emailed them to ask about it, suggest a few others do it and then they'll ask.
Ulloa has said he wants to leave. Unfortunately he's probably out of our price range unless we can sort a loan.
As i dont have any access to any player contracts I am merely speculating. I would have thought the players agents would have them inserted though.
They may well have release clauses, but they wont be activated for not signing players. Most clauses are relegation based, non achievement based (ie promotion or Europe qualification) or relating to the value of a bid been made.
Not sure what that relates to my post. If the Allams want any where near 100m offered in September, they should be bringing players in with the PL money we just earned.
If that's the case they should have flogged it while they had the chance, there's already been a drop in value bigger than the amount they tried to stiff the buyer for.
Is he on a Free transfer...... a loan would be great bit of business but I suspect he's worth maybe £5/6 million...
There was a lot of talk of a £10m bid from Swansea a week ago, but it never materialised as far as I can see.
I understand that, however most players have a release clause for a set value (Westwood and Gunter as quoted earlier this week). The point I am making is that if they say "I want to see signings that will make us competitive min PL or I will instruct my agent to seek another PL club", the Allams will know that if a team come in for a player and meet the release theremis jot amgreat dealmthey can do to stop them going. And they will also be aware that keeping the top players and manager is what makes the club an attractive purchase.
