TheCardinal 0 Posted July 8, 2008 ...as Jonathon Walters leaves Ipswich for Stoke for £1.8mil.Do you think anyone else has a release clause like this at our club? Seems to me if people like Walters - a relative unknown when he moved to Ipswich - is demanding clauses like this, then they''re relatively standard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The release clause allows the player to dictate when he leaves and allows him to negotiate a hefty signing-on fee. Further evidence of the shifting of power and money from the clubs to the players.

king canary 8,757 Posted July 8, 2008 But if its a release clause they have no say. The rumour has been kicking around for a week or so now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buncey 1 Posted July 8, 2008 he did have a good season, not a great one and he hasn''t really done much apart from that, he''s played at lower levels and was signed for a pittance (I not certain, somebody could confirm) so selling him for £1.8 million isn''t bad business. But buying a player on one season, we all know what can happen to one season wonders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stevie Wonder 0 Posted July 8, 2008 There are a fact of life now. Some we have won with notably Hoolahan and I believe Lappin was signed that way too and some you maybe lose on although I still think £3.5M for Earnie and £1.5M for Etuhu isn''t bad business - Derby have soled Earnie for almost a £1M less and is Etuhu worth anymore than £1.5M? For most of his time here he was derided as a lazy so and so. As long as the clauses are set at a reasonable level then I would rather have the players here even if only for a season.
