However, a good rule of thumb in general is to ignore all transfer rumours from Portugal and Turkey - they have rather overactive media who link everyone to everything.

TeemuVanBasten 3,327 Posted July 20, 2020 A Championship club have allegedly bid £15m for Karlan Grant. It won't be us, but that is what Webber means when he says there will be bigger spenders than us this season. Not going to be easy for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeemuVanBasten 3,327 Posted July 20, 2020 15 hours ago, Darth Vadis said: Yes, just confused me somewhat as a 30m release clause seems absurd, and obviously there's no way we'll be paying that. In some countries it is a requirement to give every player a release clause in their contract. Often they just pluck a silly number out of thin air to get around this.

Mason 47 1,371 Posted July 20, 2020 Have a feeling the club is just waiting to banish the last game of this torrid restart before doing a 9-player revolving door reveal. Same with the kits and whatnot. No association with a season we got wrong. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,371 Posted July 20, 2020 Vague Twitter rumours that Celtic are in for Krul at 4-6mil. Think it's the right sort of club but also essentially puts the onus on us to find a suitable home grown replacement, which I don't think we can do for similar or less money. With our emphasis on foreign imports it would be madness not to have a first team keeper who is HG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

curious yellow 184 Posted July 20, 2020 My guess is that we're keeping incoming deals quiet to improve our position on outgoing players. How can we say we want to keep somebody when we have already replaced them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems pointless if clubs aren't legally bound to pay the release clause. Or are they? Firstly, in some countries (Spain, for example) it's mandatory to have a 'buyout clause' rather than a 'release clause' so it works a little differently. Of course the buying club isn't legally bound to pay it; if the clubs agree a fee that is lower than the buyout clause then there isn't a problem, and that's what usually happens. The buyout clause is for the player to buy himself out of the contract, but obviously the club he's moving to provides the money for that. Neymar moving to PSG is arguably the most famous example, as Barcelona didn't want to sell but his buyout clause was set at €222m so Neymar and his representatives bought him out of the contract for that amount. In order to prevent this happening, most buyout clauses are way higher than a player's market value so it's just a token gesture, but if a player at a smaller clubs improves rapidly or insists on a lower fee then it can come in handy for a bigger club who wants to buy them. A release clause is a bit simpler, as it means that if another club offers said amount then the offer must be accepted. I'm sure Bethnal knows more, and can correct any errors here... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was just writing something similar but think you have it all covered. Spain is the only country that requires such clauses, I believe it relates to something in Spanish employment law to do with contracts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted July 20, 2020 Strong rumour that Liverpool are considering either Jamal Lewis or Lloyd Kelly to compete with Andrew Robertson for their left back position. Liverpool have a bit of a track record for signing players from relegated teams and there has been a long standing interest in Jamal. Lloyd Kelly may be preferred as he can also play centre back though.
