All down to restraint of trade, it is possible but you have to be very careful. If you get it wrong the contract is worthless and we would get jack shit, the alternative method is a sell on clause or a penalty, I suggested a few posts back the penalty should be 13m the difference between us getting 50m if we sold to Europe and selling to Corinthians. Alternative 50% sell on etc only problem with that is if the sell to RM say in three years time for 10m we only get 5m which is why I prefer the penalty clause.

do they have any players worth part exchanging
This is a very good point. If we are going to accept £10 million less than we are asking for we should be looking at taking a few of their prospects/securing first options on them
South American players have proved to be a pain in the arse for us and we should focus our efforts elsewhere.
Bag the cash and lets move forward.

You have to take into consideration the fact he's 2 years older, he's not playing well at international level, and the fact that his goals have financially been a benefit to us. All these factors could be deducted from your valuation IMO.

Think you should EXCLUDE ZAB ! from your statement ?
if true then i think we should snap there hands off. it wil be 13 million less that what we want, does 13million mean much to the sheik? i think not. however he will be out of the way in brasil and so we wont come up against him in the champs league
