Not anything remotely serious that it involved bids. Or reported approaches to the player.

I’m not saying that Mac isn’t going up leave, and I’m not saying there isn’t a release clause in the contract which Fab knows the existence of, but it makes no sense for that release clause to have been agreed at the low price being suggested.

Why wound Alexis have been so bullish at that point and not wanted to sign a new deal that doesn’t have a low release clause? That is pre World Cup, and pre this brilliant season when there was little interest from big clubs. Why would he have threatened to walk away from a club that he loves at...

They might do but you’re not going to convince a chairman/chief executive that has said multiple times that we don’t do them to suddenly introduce them for 2 key players unless the release clause fee is very high. No way has a £50-60m release clause been inserted into Mac contract (which is was...

Utter bullshit. So firstly historically we don’t give release clauses, then we’ve sold Ben White for roughly £55m & then Cucurella for £62m, and after that you’re telling me we’ve decided to agree a release clause in a new contract for a key player for “way less than £65m”. Nah sorry not buying...

He himself said a few weeks back that there isnt a 'release clause' as such in Mac's contract, as in a set figure, but there is 'a mechanism that could help make the move happen' whatever that means. The Argus have also yesterday said that currently nothing is going on regarding Mac or Moises...

Correct. That fee has to be agreed on both sides. Much higher and he doesnt sign the contract. Also, it was pre World Cup when £65m (if thats what it is) probably felt about right, and still isnt far off. I would have guessed a sale at around the £70m mark.

Chelsea paid well over the odds for Enzo because well they're Chelsea, other teams were taking advantage of their wealth, and they chased the player the whole transfer window eventually having to just pay a ridiculous fee or miss out completely. Another club looking to buy Enzo this summer and...

We'll never accurately know the fee. We all guessed it would be in the £70m region, so it could be £60m with other adds on...

But it’s not in any way about us choosing to take the money and willingly weaken our midfield. Over the last few transfer windows we would have had opportunities to sell these players, and there would have been big clubs willing to triple their wages. If the player wants to go there’s only so...

Still the little matter of the fee though… £70m minimum someone will need to stump up.

Isnt this just exactly what he said a week or two ago though? When he basically said along the lines of ''yes they could go to a bigger team this summer, or they could stay with us'' but then the headlines/twitter journalists just didnt focus on the second part of the statement. RDZ seems to...

I think the story on these two is far from done. They may well leave. But it’ll be for a lot of money. & we didn’t expect Caicedo to sign a new deal after his January antics. So what else has Tony got up his sleeve? Would we get another year out of either of them with Europa League football, and...
