The Michut one reads as if PSG have added a separate clause in, maybe more wage cover from us or a higher agreed/obligated fee.

Poor from PSG if Romano is correct.

that’s business. PSG know he’s been pictured here and we are desperate for good news as a fan base, so chuck in an extra £££ request knowing we are likely to pay it.

Nah, I find it very sneaky myself. Deal agreed, player is here in the stands, and they go ‘actually, give us more money’.

You might be alright with them doing it but I think it’s pretty poor from PSG personally mate.

yeh sorry I didn’t explain myself right. It’s very poor. But I think it’s way more frequent in this awful ****ing business than anyone would like

They’re the reasons given. They might have added a clause as they know we are desperate for good news so thought we’d pay it.

Brighton may have been about to loan him to us but then decided not to when the Neil news broke, so now think he’d be better off being a bit part player here rather than come here under an unknown manager
Sounds like Hecke was wanted by a lot of teams so sounds like its more to do with Brighton see him as a viable option for them this season - wont of had anything to do with Neil leaving us

Van hecke will 100% be getting loaned out still. It’s a huge game of chess. They just want clubs to pay more for the privilege so are pretending he might stay
 
Have we been played here? Let everyone know he’s available and start a bidding war?

No. He was watching our game at the weekend, that's not gamesmanship. It's been known he was available. Celtic bid and Sevilla were interested but they didn't want to pay the price. It's not as if PSG are desperate to squeeze that extra half a million out of us. It's far more likely that they want a buy back clause.

you don’t go back on an agreement unless you think you have leverage. And their leverage is that we are desperate for good news and that it’s essentially been made public he’s signing for us
