Not quite. They've been given permission to speak to him, but Newcastle and others are also very keen on him.
Ultimately Clyne will go to whoever gives Palace the most money, but I doubt it'll be Southampton and I doubt it'll be £1.5m

I thought they were supposed to be offering £6M for Clyne and Winifred , valuing the Olympic class diver at £4.5M

The reported offer they're going to making is £8m for Clyne and Wilfried. They'll be told where to go, Palace value Wilfried higher than that by himself.

£1.5m eh? So basically what we sold Adam Virgo (one of our youth products) to Celtic for about 7 years ago!!! Good work from the best youth academy in the world.

No, no. this can't be right.
Clyne is worth £6m according to a previous thread. Palace are being RIPPED OFF.
Also, someone needs to tell Man Utd he is available as he was MEANT to be going there!

You forget, of course, that Clyne is out of contract and has played over 100 games for Palace so his value in a tribunal is only a fraction of his actual worth.
I don't think he would have been sold for anywhere near £1.5m if he were still under contract. As far as I am aware, CPFC2010 were expecting £2m. I wouldn't be surprised if this fee was paid by a bigger club, say, Newcastle.

Exactly the buying club would say he is worth £1M , Palace would say £2M and the tribunal split the difference. Southampton have offered a decent price.

According to The Mirror, Palace value Clyne at £3.5m even while out of contract. Southampton have offered about half that, but the board are confident that the other interested clubs will pay more than Southampton will.

This is all a bit of a head f*** really as it's almost like a normal transfer situation but with Palace's hands tied.
Clyne is out of contract, so if he is not happy with who Palace agree the 'best' fee with, he can just refuse to sign for them and instead sign for his preffered team and let it go to tribunial.
Is that right?
Palace can negotiate all they want, but surely it's clynes choice as a free agent to pick his next team.
Why? If one club offered Palace £4m, but he wanted to go elsewhere, Palace can't make him agree terms with the first club. If he wants to go to SCC and they want him, there's nothing Palace can do.

Yup. Clyne can go where he wants, but £1.5m is probably the least they could expect from a tribunal. Other clubs don't really want it to go to tribunal, because they might settle on £1m up front with a 20% sell on fee. This would be very bad for the buying club, as he could easily go for 10 million in his next move.
Fixed.

I'd imagine if one club offered Palace £4m, Clyne would be going there. He'd be under a massive amount of pressure to get the best deal for the club that made his career.
Realistically if he goes to Southampton, he won't be there long. They could easily get relegated next season, and Clyne won't want to be in the Championship for another 15 years at least.

This is the same player who didn t even turn up to pick up his player of the year award.
He really wont care.
There's no way Palace would say £2m in a tribunal though, they'd probably say £8m or something daft.We're taking about Clyne , not Winifred
Pressure from who? What a load of nonsense. He'll go wherever is offering him the best deal and the best prospects.
Then its up to Palace to fight for what they can get. They have NO say in where he goes, directly or indirectly. If he wants to move to Southampton - an upwardly mobile club, where he's likely to hold down a first team place, and no distance from his home and family, no amount of 'pressure' is going to make him sign for Newcastle.

Bollocks , he will be trying to get the best deal for himself , £££'s , length of contract , bonuses and add ons. Southampton were already preparing themselves for the Premier League two seasons ago when they tried to keep up with us as we stormed League 1.
