I thought I read somewhere that there is clause that meant Strasbourg had to achieve Europa League for the obligation to kick in. I don't have the source to hand for that I'm afraid.
Spot on especially with Cubiano (whatever his name is) interest and rumours that Barco may not be leaving after all. I think Left Back could end up looking pretty stacked. If we could then stop kicking that never ending can down the road of a new specialist Right Back we'd seem pretty sorted.
He's had two major operations in the last 2 seasons, and became injured after playing a handful of sub appearances and his first 60 mins in almost a year and a half. I would not be relying on him as first choice Left Back, a position that isn't his preferred, great option to have but any...
I've loved Pervis at times don't get me wrong, but I think our squad is in a great position to deal with this departure and if we can get a lot of money for him, I think this is a perfectly acceptable move especially if we can get £30m+. He's been at best inconsistent for the last two seasons...
