I find it hard to believe that with the way agents treat new deals and potential suitors for players, they would ever rely on a gentlemans agreement. They are doing deals worth tens of millions for their client, i just find it hard to believe anything gets left to chance about the future.

like the apparent Kane gentlemans agreement?
Funny that, the players we are linked with generally rumoured to have gentleman's agreements to let them go for less money. Think we can hardly expect any of them to follow up on that of true, as there are very few gentlemen out there.
Our lot are up there though, I remember an interview with Dzeko in which he claimed that when he spoke to them about wishing to join Roma, they enabled it accepting less money than they could have asked for and he felt ao grateful and valued for that. Khaldoon then said similar, for players they value they won't stand in their way out of respect for what they have done. There have been a few more of ours that made similar remarks.
Don't think Villa or Spurs would really bother though.

For me what's more bizarre is that players continue to sign massive wage deals without release clauses. Surely if you're a guy with ambition to go to the top you'd knock £10k a week off your wages and have a clause in that means you could get the move?
Its just bizarre. You have two players in Kane and Grealish who could be moving this summer for close to a quarter of a billion combined. Both signed a new contract last summer and both are supposedly relying on gentlemans agreements to make those moves happen. Just bonkers they signed contracts without that written into them.For me what's more bizarre is that players continue to sign massive wage deals without release clauses.

Gentlemen's agreements and hard cash don't mix well.why they don’t get it in writing I don’t know I always thought it was 60m also
Unless it's written in ink on his contract, it's worthless.
Exactly. They both signed contracts a year ago and are now relying on worthless gentlemans agreements. Just stupid from them both if true.Gentlemen's agreements and hard cash don't mix well.

I would add greed, I would imagine if it was placed in the contract it would cost the player money, in terms of a wage/loyalty bonus reduction.Exactly. They both signed contracts a year ago and are now relying on worthless gentlemans agreements. Just stupid from them both if true.

if we are paying £100m for Grealish it will be a lot closer to £150m for kane
