Thread Where We Can Talk Shit About Other Clubs’ Transfers

Oh sorry wrong one.

(exercise in just how niche a reference can be and just how much utterly pointless information my mind retains. HUGE respect to anyone that gets that without the use of Google, i'd imagine not many)

Rumour says his buyout clause is around 25 mill euros (or pounds, not sure).

I think it's €32m > about £25m

 

[GeorgeKirchner7]

I think it's €32m > about £25m

I wouldn't say that's a lot of money, particularly in the modern day market were Borini is supposedly worth £14m!

4392000000 Japanese Yen for those who are interested.

Agreed. Also, considering what we paid for Lamela - who had a similarly successful season at his old club before joining. Griezmann also had a great world cup - so he "should" actually be more expensive (i'm sure he will be once Chelsea & Monaco start bidding...)

Reports Liverpool could be getting Isco on loan.......our partnership with Real gets even better.

That buffoon completely destroyed the last quality player Real Madrid loaned them - doubt it would happen again

Nah, he has a release clause.

 

[Tomasson]

With Lamala on the right, Eriksen in the middle and Greizmann to the left and hopefully a decent striker... We would be fucking lethal upfront.

Disclaimer
I don't think we will get Greizmann.

 

[elias_swe_spurs]

Nah, he has a release clause.

So what? It's not like that means there's a limit to how much a club can bid for him..

 

[pleb]

The spursy way to end the Griezmann saga would be for us to see images of him completing his medical at Enfield, with Mourinho and Abramovic waiting at the gate with a few briefcases of cash to steal him from under our noses.

With Abramovic it might be a few surface to air missiles and a black box or two!

 

[ArcspacE]

He reminds me of Steve Malbranque

 

[HeroesAndVillains]

Why would they bid more than the release clause?

True. But what exactly is the point of bidding more than the release clause? Seeing as it HAS to be accepted if it is met?

The player can still turn us down

Because you want to troll the shit out of the other club

 

[Raitei]

Sure, there's no limit, but why would a club bid more than the release clause? It's not like a higher bid would mean the lower bid from another club isn't accepted.

The bidding war only comes in to play with wages really.

 

[Norwegian Jim]

If we really are interested we will meet the release clause as everyone else, and then get destroyed by Chelsea/City/PSG/Monaco/etc in contract negotiations.

 

[battman]

If we are in for him we will bid the alleged release clause then offer him our best package, same as everyone else. No one is bidding more than the release clause. Doesn't make any sense.

Woolwich. 40 million plus 1 pound bid for Suarez.

And yet they were savaged in the media.

And Henry simply ignored it anyway.
