Think the buy back only applies to this contract and wouldn’t be relevant if he signed a new one.
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.
 
Isnt it up to the player in these type of arrangements, if he doesn’t want to go back to spurs and wants to stay at us what happens then. Do we give spurs £6 mil or get him for nothing cause he’s out of contract
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 suppose Spurs could buy him back for £6 million and sell him to us for £10 million. Net cost to us is £4 million and everyone is happy!
Surely he would just say no to Spurs and save everybody going through all of that.
 
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.
The only one I could see is selling is Winchester but his injury could put a stop to that
 
The fee itself is agreed but nothing else. Cirkin would have to agree to go there.

but there’s absolutely nothing stopping spurs buying him for £6m (if that’s the price), selling him for £10m immediately and then giving him / his agent £1m for the service.

essentially means we are never likely to get more for him than whatever the price agrees with spurs is. As if he’s ever worth more, spurs can incentivise him to move via them.

it’s all part of the risk we take signing players with this kinda deal. Well worth it in my opinion.
He could choose to sign a contract extension with us which would make the buy back clause irrelevant

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.

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.
I keep forgetting we have diamond and dajaku he seems to have disappeared unless he’s injured too?

Can’t see Hume going out on loan, he’s getting game time

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 :D
