Hasn't stopped Palace announcing they are signing free agent Lerma either. It's nonsense. They could be announced any time.

Fabrizio still banging on about his fantasy "release clause" lol.

I'm pretty certain a new contract was mentioned briefly when we ended his loan to Boca Juniors early. There was certainly some negotiations going on with all parties about the loan recall. Which ties in with the Feb 2020 date.

Yes - it was mentioned I think by Naylor. But it was a good while ago so I can't trawl all his tweets and articles as life is too short.

Bloom will have got a good deal. Perhaps not an exceptional deal this time but I see that as a thank you to our world cup winner. Maybe Alexis forfeit his cut of the fee to ease the deal. So many unknowns. The sell-on percentage? Maybe that is where the best part of this deal is. Absolutely no...

Sad to see him go. Very, very sad. At least it's done early though. No deadline day sale and panic for a price-boosted replacement.

Most likely a basic fee + an add-on for a given number of appearances [ this will account for the differing prices ] + a sell-on cut + more convoluted ( results based ) add-ons.

Indeed. Save the vitriol for the returning sulkers and tool downers. Trossard and most possibly Sanchez for example.

Minus the sell-on to Argentinos Juniors of course - unless that was bought out when we did that deal to bring him back early from the loan.

Indeed. Our Albion World Cup winner. Immortal really. I wish him all the best.

1 out of 3 at this stage. He also predicts Milner and Dahoud. Will he get his hattrick ?

This makes perfect sense. We want players to leave early in the summer transfer window. Not in January, not in the last 2-3 weeks of the summer window or horror of horrors on transfer deadline day. If we can incentivise that by clauses in the contract - not standard "release clauses" - then it...

There is an agreement which needs to be reached. Naylor said that it hadn't been reached at the time of his latest info.

Yes. It's clearly complete fantasy. Tony doesn't do "release clauses" and history tells us we get top prices for the big sales.

Every single time we sell a star player we get a good deal. The evidence of history suggests we get another top, top fee.

Romano is just winging it now. Tony doesn't run his business with "exit clauses". That's on record. Sure, every player has a valuation and when that is met they can go - and Alexis may go to Liverpool - but that tweet is just made up guesswork.
