rjwc22 0 Posted June 9, 2010 http://www.teamtalk.com/news/2483/6197825/Hammers-not-planning-Green-talks Seems they are not planning to offer him a new contract any time soon - might pave the way for a move to Arsenal or somethere else if he has a good world cup.Pretty sure we have a sell on clause on him so a big money move would be great for the transfer kitty.Then again knowing Green, think it quite likely he injures himself before saturday, misses the whole tournament and rots at Upton Park!

morty 0 Posted June 9, 2010 I''m not sure if we have a sell on clause on him, I don''t know if anyone really knows for sure.There was rumours that we waived it as part of the deal when we got Peter Grant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul ncfc 0 Posted June 9, 2010 Could well have been, but I thought it was the clause on receiving another payment when Ashton represented his country. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjwc22 0 Posted June 9, 2010 Would be nice to get a bonus £250k for the transfer kitty though. No idea how much it might be as we were pretty over a barrel when we sold him. I seem to remember something like 15% of the profit being talked about at the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christov 3 Posted June 9, 2010 Pretty certain the Grant move was the removal of Ashton''s international appearances clause. - Good business if Grant had been any good!Didn''t we only get about £2m for Green so 15% of any profit should be fairly healthy as I can''t see him moving for less £4m-£5m.

Salopian 1 Posted June 9, 2010 If they are letting him go, with one year on his contract, (presumably to try to reduce their wage bill), expect him to go reasonably cheaply to a premiership club.He may be one of the top English born keepers, but how much will he fetch, bearing in mind he will be on high wages?Perhaps £2m? Is that what we got? There may be very little profit on sell-on.Don''t get too excited! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted June 9, 2010 Is he actually a free agent and out of contract or are Wet Spam selling him while he is still in contract? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DDD In The Fine City 1 Posted June 11, 2010 I thought we waved all the clauses on Green but kept the ones on Ashton in the deal that brought us the great Peter Grant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
