Yes.I know this mate, but as the selling club, we can stipulate any (or not) payment terms in a contract with a release clause for our players, can we not?
Dippers blocked Suarez to Arsenal I believe even though they had bid above the clause many years ago.Yes, there’s always an alternative to triggering the release clause through negotiation but, the attraction of release clauses is the selling club can’t block them.
First statement is your opinion, which you’re entitled to believe, no matter how wrong it sounds to anyone elseThat's the #1 stupidest post I've seen on here.
A RELEASE CLAUSE IS AFAIK ALWAYS PAID IN 1 SUM TO SELLER.
The weak linkWho is Philips ?
Hahaha :)Is this the knew terrible spelling thread?

Wye of courseIs this the knew terrible spelling thread?

I would imagine that in the contract the quantity and terms of a release clause would be stated.Think you are wrong on this
Release clauses different as mentioned above with the Spanish system.
When we sign Grealish we did the deal with villa and terms are agreed between the two clubs as per a normal transfer. The release clause just sets the fee, not the terms, I'd expect it to be paid within 12 months.
I don't think Pep does "statement signings" and all decisions about the squad are important, I think you're just making up your own narrative there TBH.i think Pep wants to club to make a statement midfield signing to send a message we are ready to go again? His comments were very telling imo about the club having to make important decisions about the squad. Doku in today hopefully but he will want that top class player in as well which we would have had if Paqueta hadnt have been caught being naughty
He will but he'll also understand if we can't get the right player this summer we are better waiting.i think Pep wants to club to make a statement midfield signing to send a message we are ready to go again?

agree, one of those dark murky football things.I would imagine that in the contract the quantity and terms of a release clause would be stated.
The buyers could try and negotiate a variance of those terms but the club holding the contract could turn them down.
There is no point in having a release clause of say£50M if the buying club can activate it and say we are paying £1 per year for the next 50M years.
I think Pep wants another CM/AM and doesnt want to leave anything to chance regarding the midfield. Phillips could still leave on loan and i dont htink he wants to have to chance say Mcatee and Palmer for most games if we got another injury or two?
That’s exactly what he will be until he learns our way of playing, at least.Yep when I read Supersub for a 55mill pound player
Good post which sums up where we are without the histrionics. We will still be true to our business model I believe, which may mean we will have to wait, like we did for a CF and before that a CD.He probably wants a CM/AM so that Kovacic can be replaced in that position when he needs Kovacic to play as a 6 to give Rodri a rest.
If there’s one weakness in our amazing squad it’s losing Rodri. He’s one of spains captains to so he’s going to play all the internationals. He can’t play every game again he’s said it himself
The problem is that when he’s out of the team our defensive structure in midfield is non existent. Teams play through us. With Kovacic here now, he can play Rodri’s role and there won’t be a massive drop off in quality.
But then you need another CM/AM to take the Kovacic role if Kovacic has to play as a 6.

So an experienced, capable player then, that's not a statement signing. It's just someone we need, and I do agree, Rodri is a serious concern.statement meaning not a kid like Veiga mate? We have chased Bellingham, Rice and Paqueta this summer so he obviously wants someone in there?
Pg has given him a new role .Who is Philips ?
