If the player agreed to the buy back clause to help facilitate the original move then they’d have to join. However if it was only agreed between the two clubs of course the player has a choice. There is no way a player can be forced to join a club against their will even if said club have a...

Solly injured his ACL against Derby in December 2015 he didn’t play again until the game against Bristol City in November 2016, that’s nearly a year out, very similar to what Livramento has just been through.

Depends on the actual terms of the buy back. It could be a chance for Chelsea to match any bid that Southampton accept for the player. Or it could be a set fee pre agreed between the two clubs. If Chelsea don’t act and someone else buys the player the clause expires as Chelsea have effectively...

Mooy also had a set fee release clause for any club in the Chinese Super League. Hence his sudden move to China (again this was something we inherited when we effectively took over his contract from Huddersfield). These clauses aren’t something we do regularly and there seems to be a lot of...
