May be right, but how could Forest keep it a secret, surely the player and his reps would know it existed and just tell any interested teams.

It’s like secret agreement between player and club that any bid above x clause will be accepted.
To be likely known between player and club
Spurs could have bid 70m and had bid accepted but since they knew it’s 60m, they bid the same and got the player

We were apparently quoted more seeing city name

If it’s an agreement its worthless. If its a release clause it’s a legal contract. If we were in for him and quoted £100mill and it’s only twitter rumours that say it happened, then the player would just have told us about a release clause in his contract. The City name doesn’t come into it.
Makes me think we were never that close and he was just a plan B to Reijnders.
 
Forest are run by a mad man. Only last night there was talk about Forest sacking Nuno as their owner wants Ange now that he’s available. Forest owner apparently not happy with Nuno about the end of the season

Nuno signed a new 3 year contract a couple of weeks ago.

The suggestion is he had a release clause but it also included a NDA if we were interested but quoted more. But Spurs knew the actually amount due to breach of NDA and an illegal approach then I can see why this would be an issue

Who out of defence would you say is top drawer apart from probably gvadiol ?

I honestly think they’re all class sans akanji. Dias and gvardiol need continued reps together and with Rodri in front of them it will be completely different. And gvardiol and khus need reps together. And who knows what happens with stones but when healthy he’s well good enough too.

The issue is pep feels the need to stick Akanji in as much as he humanly can and it’s a huge detriment to the team and the talent that exists in the team already. He’s the worst cb in the team including Reis and khus. The sooner the loyalty ends with the noted three players the sooner we can address the voids that actually exist in the team (rb, gk, winger in that priority imo)

Not necessarily - Grealish's was ostensibly confidential, which is why Villa fannied about.

That sounds seriously off. Why would a player agree to that?
You can go to a big club if they offer £60m, but for the really big club that you're more likely going to want to go to, you can't tell them.
Nope sorry

Nothing to do with size of club so I don’t get your point

An injury wouldn’t necessarily mean he would fail his medical, that isn’t how medicals work as such. They are essentially risk assessments so in theory if this injury is deemed a one off (I’m not even sure what his injury is to be honest) with no longer term issues he could still pass.

It’s why you get some players who will pass for one team but not another. If the signing would eat up a huge amount of budget then a players injury history might be deemed more of a risk than to a club who are just signing a player who won’t cost them too much.

Generally though a team won’t want to buy an injured player and pay for two months of his wages while they can’t use him.

Think we bought Gundo crocked from Dortmund, partly why he was so cheap. Medicals seem to consist of an ECG and an MRI scan from what I have garnered from watching them being done on the clips City put out.
 
Interesting how this is playing out in the media with forest threatening legal action against spurs because they were trying to rinse city for upto £100M…and spurs ‘found out’ the release clause and activated it…….

I genuinely hope we don’t do any business with these cunts at all…

whats the point of a release clause if nobody is allowed to know about it?

what a strange scenario.

my thoughts exactly. I can't see what is in it for the player. You can go for £60m but you can't tell anyone. So team A says "we can give you £xk per week - it would be more, but we can't afford the £80m your club are asking for"
"Eh, erm, if you offer them £60m they might accept it"
