That's usually done by buying out the remaining year.Unless I'm mistaken, aren't we just voiding the last year by mutual consent so that there's no transfer fee for any move? (I.e. not actually paying him anything additional)

Played his best football from LWF at Watford imv and has approx the same amount of games in that position. Anyway, we don't need a plausible option, but someone with a proven goal scoring record. Richarlison is fine as cover for the front three.
As much as Winks gets stick, he was willing to be sold to Leicester and make the step down to the Championship (albeit very likely to get promoted) and was willing to go out on loan before that.This would seem like an ideal move for him.
Stays in London and gets 3 (or more) years on a PL salary (although probably reduced).
He clearly doesn’t want it. He grew up in Portugal and is comfortable living in continental Europe.
Ange has frozen him out but needs to tell him that he won’t make a single squad — not even as sub in League Cup game.
Hopefully, this news, with more authority than the posters here who have been saying much the same thing, will shut up those who say ‘why aren’t we selling Dier?’
Didn’t the French league ranking drop massively this summer?That's true.
But he could also be getting more space than in any league in the world.
The Belgian league is hardly a great league is it. I just find it interesting that the leagues reputation seems to have gone up a level since we've been linked with him.
And this is coming from someone who wants us to sign him. The unknown excites me.
He could be the next big thing. He could also be a colossal flop. I want us to find out.
I thought that too but the Lazio deal for Lloris had a fee going to us.Unless I'm mistaken, aren't we just voiding the last year by mutual consent so that there's no transfer fee for any move? (I.e. not actually paying him anything additional)
Well, here it even suggests we might want a small fee:That's usually done by buying out the remaining year.
I'm sure you're gonna ask for citations, but I've often got the impression that he sees himself as far far better than he actually is.Poor show from Eric if true.... He's been treated VERY well by the club since he arrived.
18 month spell of injury/poor health between 2018-20... Comes back and a few months later he gets a new deal and a pay-rise and has since been given a multitude of chances to work through what has been 2/3 years of very erratic form.
It can only be a money decision as he's not gonna attract better than Fulham/Palace etc. if he spends the next 12 months playing table tennis at the training ground.
Like I said, if he stays out of the squad for a year I doubt he'll get good offers, and if he goes on loan to a weaker side it's a gamble, he can easily get exposed, and again get no good offers. He has a good offer now on the table, waiting for another year is a big gamble on his part.He could but what's the rush on him moving now as opposed to next Summer?
Thing with Dier and Lloris is how has been allowed to go on this long?
Could have paid both Contracts out weeks ago and moved on with the rebuild.
Tanganga, Regui, Tanguy i get it, we need to see what we can get. Spence as well.
I have to say I'm a little frustrated with Dier and Hugo. After all these years you'd think they'd try and help the club out a little by being more open to transfers. Especially Dier - he hasn't been decent in what, 3 or 4 years?
Looking more and more like Ange has already had the Kane money and that’s all they want to Spend unless they shift playersWake me up on Saturday for Bournemouth.
Willing to bet we've signed no one yet again. This thread hasn't had any real activity since the Kane sale.
IMO, he really believes all the guff from Mourinho about him being a leader and he's completely delusional about his status in the sport.Like I said, if he stays out of the squad for a year I doubt he'll get good offers, and if he goes on loan to a weaker side it's a gamble, he can easily get exposed, and again get no good offers. He has a good offer now on the table, waiting for another year is a big gamble on his part.
Eric is like Lloris, I’d buy out that last year as a loyalty payment for all these years and bring in new talent.
Unless it's Mr Hasselhoff, in which he case he definitely is it
Dier not leaving has prevented the signing of an additional CB.That equates to 9.4m for the pair of them, that if they both dig their heels in we'll have to pay anyway with no potential trf fee on the horizon.
Makes sense. Get rid.
The annoying reality is that it taken this long for these 2 players to reveal their hand and force ours...... I still don't think it would have been any wiser to have just paid them off back in June. Thus far they won't have prevented any deals from happening; at most they've made the bigger picture feel more bloated whilst we look for "solutions" to trickier predicaments like Reg, Ndombele, PEH etc.
