Strange one

They bought Axel Witsel as well. I always thought he would do a great job for United.

Owen to Stoke on a pay per play.

Is it a pay per play deal? I thought I read somewhere it was 20k per week... with heavy ad-ons.

Chelsea to hold talks with Demba Ba after triggering release clause

Liverpool sign Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge on long-term deal

 

[Helghast]

Seems like Inter is offering clubs Sneijder however Chelsea and Arsenal rejected them since Sneijder's wage claims are too much.

 

[Helghast]

Can someone explain release clauses, is that amount part of the deal for the player, since the clause is 7mil pounds you don't pay that plus what the player is worth, that release clause amount is part of what the player is worth right?

 

[Alan]

Just pay the release clause amount nothing more. To the club at least. Can add agent fees and signing on fees to the playe

I'm confused... okay let's take Torres for example He was bought for 50mil you saying most of that was release clause?

Lol. No. That was the fee agreed to by the two clubs. Release clauses aren't common in the EPL.

Ba's release clause was 7m so that's what Chelsea will pay if they sign him. Newcastle can't try to negotiate a higher fee, but Ba will be able to negotiate better wages because of the low fee.

Oh! I thought all contracts had release clauses. So if a contract has a release clause that's all you need to pay the club for the player? Can club say no even if you want to pay the release clause?
