Under what conditions can players buy you themselves out of their contact

Wenger knows he's leaving and all he's doing is holding out for more money and hopefully a club that isn't in the premier league.

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Did he even bother going to training today?

We can sit tight with this. We already have a special squad. As the Arsenal fans tell us, we have Sane, Sterling, B Silva, Jesus and Aguero. 5 top forwards.

It's Arsenal who face a guillotine come 1st September where if they don't sell him, he'll sign a pre-contract agreement with a European club and agree a deal weeks later. That is going to kill them if he is still the centre-piece of their team. If they want to go down that route, then that's their decision.

No club will touch a player who buys themselves out of a contract. If the Webster ruling was actually used, Billions would be wiped off the value of clubs around Europe.

Sanchez would cos £6.6m, KDB could leave for £18m, Aguero £20m

Have to have played something like less than 10% of the games they were available for and have to inform the club they are at an appropriate amount of time before the end of the season.

I think those are the rules. So doesn't apply to Sanchez.

But the perception is it's as admin cock up...they just forget to offer the player terms. I think it happens because Arsenal are not competing for the league title and haven't been for a long time.

Dropping out of the top four has left them donald ducked, the first thing Sanchez said about wanting to leave is his desire to win the CL, well Alexis it certainly isn't going to happen this season pulling on an Arsenal shirt is it.

you know it makes sense, Tell Arsehole you want to leave and put a transfer request in.

And yet it looks like Neymar is about to do it.

And yet it looks like Neymar is about to do it.

Triggering a release clause and buying out a contract are two different things.

 

[domalino]

And yet it looks like Neymar is about to do it.

No, Neymar is about to activate his buyout clause. A completely different thing, and something that happens dozens of times a year.

For a start, Neymar only signed his contract last year, so he's 2 years away from being able to use the Webster ruling, but if he could, it would be a tiny fraction of the €222m + tax he is going to pay, probably about half.
