I'm wondering if the release clause is insisting on the cash upfront, which could prove a problem for a lot of highly strung clubs reliant on structured deals.

I think he's watching Levy, Poch and other clubs play their hands before making a decision - and why not. Fair enough.

Just hope he lets Rose use his PR team if he does go.

That would be Fake TanGuy surely?

Oh I get it now - wish I didnt

So are we going to calling the lad 'Tan Guy' then? Isn't it 'Tangy'?

When Toby signed he did a 'how to say my name' video. Might need one from 'Tangy Domb'le' as I have been calling him.
 

The Verdiblancos are moved by the listed star of Olympique Lyonnais, who ends contract in 2020
Joaquín: "If important players are sold, those who come are even more important"
Rubi and the signings: "I'm very calm because there are people from the club working 24 hours on that"

Real Betis has been interested in the situation of Nabil Fekir, Olympique Lyonnais midfielder who concludes his contract in the summer of 2020. The French-Algerian is the captain of the French team, who is aware that he will leave this summer. Betis has probed its incorporation although the price requested by Olympique Lyonnais, who has just transferred Ndombele to Tottenham for 65 million, is excessively high for the Betic coffers. The profile of Fekir is what they seek in the sports management of Betis to incorporate in the event of the departure of Giovani Lo Celso, which seems to be produced in these weeks of the market given the interest of several groups, mainly the aforementioned Tottenham, to be with your services.
Betis sees in Fekir an ideal substitute for Lo Celso. Born in Lyon almost 26 years ago (he meets them next week), he is international for France on 21 occasions, world champion (he was present in all World Cup matches except the semi-final against Belgium), left-handed, with a lot of quality, overflowing , does not elude the shock and vision of game in the last meters. He knows how to fall to the band and also act as creative midfielder and second rush. Good foul thrower. Fekir was almost signed by Liverpool last season in exchange for 65 million but the operation was frustrated when he was very advanced, supposedly due to problems in the medical examination. In recent weeks he has been linked with Woolwich. According to the different appraisal websites of the players, their market value is around 60 million.
It is, therefore, a very difficult option but for which Betis has had direct and constant contacts in recent times with the new representative of the Franco-Algerian player.

It is, therefore, a very difficult option but for which Betis has had direct and constant contacts in recent times with the new representative of the Franco-Algerian player. In Heliópolis they look for formulas to try to make this operation viable either through sharing percentages or other more imaginative possibilities and thus access a footballer who wants to leave Ligue 1 and stand out in another important competition at European level. However, Jean-Michel Aulas, president of Olympique Lyonnais, is reputed to be one of the toughest negotiators on the international scene, although in the French club they have made it clear that the footballer is on the exit ramp this summer.

In the Betis are clear that contracting Fekir is a very difficult company, especially at this stage of the market when even the Premier League can make signings. In any case, the dialogue with the player's new agents has been constant in these weeks and, in fact, few leading dates were in France trying to advance in this matter. His statistics with Olympique Lyonnais make clear his importance on the field. He played in the 2018-19 season 38 matches between Ligue 1, Champions League, French Cup and League Cup scoring twelve goals and giving nine assists. Fekir already played a game at Benito Villamarín against Betis. It was in the group stage of the Europa League of the 2013-14 season.

The imaginative formulas that Betis can propose so that this difficult operation can be carried out would be through sharing the player's property with Olympique Lyonnais for a future transfer or revaluation of the player, as well as some clause with the player so that also have economic gain in this regard in the future. Through these channels is the only way in which a club like Betis, with its budgetary limitations for players of this draft, can be done with Fekir.

Obviously, its contracting would be linked to the departure of Lo Celso for a significant amount (more than 60 million euros). Meanwhile, the club from Verdiblanco also rushes at this time for Borja Iglesias, the number one striker in the preferences and with whom he already has a sealed agreement waiting to materialize with Espanyol.
 
Really? He was happy to put out a post stating that his wish was that I die when I next went skydiving. I'd say that was pretty personal. He regularly brings up my age, as an attempted insult.
Don't wish to get involved on individual spats Mick but it's fair game if someone starts getting personal first. Not saying you did as I have no idea if you did or didn't, I can only account for the interactions I whiteness on here and on an almost daily basis you will see someone get personal with Sammy. He NEVER has with me.
