I have it on good authority that the lower fee clause in the new contract was known to nobody outside the club *at the time it was negotiated* and Ally Mac's people.
So did Odsonne Edouard, for whom Palace overpaid in fee and wages, and he's looked terrible in the Premier League. Mind you, he's only got Palace players and coaches helping him out, so who knows? As Sima is our player anyway, we need RDZ to get a good look at him before he goes anywhere.
