The same posters in this thread are saying in other threads that bobb, mcatee and palmer arent ready to step up to the first team as understudies while clammering for us to sign lavia back after a bang average season with relegated team.

Do we have a sell on clause for him? If so what’s the %?

He doesn't want to be a squad player and he wasn't / isn't displacing Rodri. These other teams want him as a starter. He wouldn't start for us. Thats why he wouldn't stay or come back.It's frustrating because we could have him in the squad now as a willing and much more able deputy than Phillips. And this is why debate about our transfer dealings is merited; the club are good in the market but not infallible. I fear we're lumbered with Kalvin.
Fingers crossed he sees sense - that’s £40m wasted right there for our transfer budget. He’s got plenty of options where he can go and be happy - for gods sake GO!He doesn't want to be a squad player and he wasn't / isn't displacing Rodri. These other teams want him as a starter.

I was taliking about Lavia, but it goes for any Rodri back up player. I 'm quite happy for Phillips to give it another year if Peps happy. Hardly 40 mill wasted, even if he's sold next summer think we'd get 30 mill back.Fingers crossed he sees sense - that’s £40m wasted right there for our transfer budget.

20% I think£20m I’ve heard on some internet media outlets.
Correct, thanks.20% I think

we have a match bid on this if we want him, we dont.Not one directly stopping it but we can certainly add first refusals giving us the option of bringing them back or if not that then bigger sell on clauses if they sell during a certain timeframe or even if they sell to a league rival etc. Plenty of things we can add to give ourselves a better deal should one of them end up on the verge of signing for a direct rival.
Southampton are potentially making near £30 million profit in 12 months. we sold him cheaply so that we could include buy back clauses that now look as though we are never going to even get the option of utilising and will see him end up at our biggest rival over the last 5 years. Mistakes have been made for that to happen, that will not have been the intention, which is fine, it can happen, we just have to learn and ensure we don't make it again anytime soon.
