Christmas Tree 3997 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Daft to permit this today. I'd have delayed it for a day at the least. They have no choice if they've offered the right amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 14529 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 So the club seem have fought really hard to keep the second top scorer in the league In saying that, anyone couldve offered the 7.5million to get to speak to him... who pays the henchmen?...us, Chelsea,Demba?....

From what I can gather the fee is £7.5m with £5m going to the club and £2.5m going to Demba. The agents' extortionate fees will be paid by Chelsea.

donaldstott 0 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Got to admit that I didn't think he'd find a club willing to take the risk.. The only good thing is that it is on Jan 2nd and not Jan 30th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubiousBobcat 0 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Would have stayed if we were challenging a top 4 spot again but who can blame him? Disappointing but predictable. A number of us wanted him out at the beginning of the season based on his end to last season but the fucker came good again which makes it harder to swallow. We know Cisse can do it.

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Should have sorted the contract out ages ago to be honest. Well they've been trying since the summer according to AP but not sure how we could compete with the sort of deal he will be getting at Chelsea. £2.5 mill plus his wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34201 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Better get used to this. It's time to start hoping that new signings are just the right side of average. Any better than that and we won't be able to hold onto them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4183 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Pretty sure we'd also be breaking the release contract clause if we were to stall allowing him to speak to Chelsea. If we had any power to stop him talking to another club once that was matched there wouldn't have been much point in it existing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Silly anyone getting anti club on this. He failed a medical at Stoke, has a fucked knee but this was a gamble that came off. We've had 18 months of a very good player whose main priority is filling his bank in case his knee goes. Not sure if any other club would do this deal. No hard feelings and thanks for a great 18 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19751 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) i don't think it's a particularly good move for him. he'll probably be second choice after torres. then when benitez is replaced in the summer, the new manager will want to bring his own striker(s) in. he might not get that many games.

Andrew 4183 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 They've also had 6 months of a player doing well to sort out a paltry release fee. Which requires him (and he representatives) to accept a contract without it in. You can argue it both ways, perhaps he wanted far too much money, or wouldn't accept any contract without a release clause in it. If the club hadn't put it there originally maybe he wouldnt have signed for us at all. I'm kind of with CT on this one (though not quite so enthused by it as he seems to be) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobH 0 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I think the fact that 'he' obviously demanded a release clause makes 'his' intentions/ motivations pretty clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4183 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I think the fact that 'he' obviously demanded a release clause makes 'his' intentions/ motivations pretty clear. aye, its sort of like when people criticise the manager for talking to the press too much as if hes gone and called a press conference himself rather than just answering what hes asked in his normal press duties. Ba and his team will have requested this clause, not the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
