Fox 4 Life Posted 6 June 2016 Share Posted 6 June 2016 Why are people saying there is a £20m buyout clause in Riyad's contract. Where the 'f' did that come from? If we want to keep him, then we will. Otherwise to buy him clubs will have to offer us big bucks! West Hammers are supposed to be after Walcott for £25m if Arsenal get Vardy. What price Mahrez? £50m! The problem is players have a lot of power these days, even when under contract. If Arsenal or similar come in and we reject but Mahrez says he wants to leave it puts us in a bad position to negotiate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dames Posted 6 June 2016 Share Posted 6 June 2016 Mahrez is too good for Arsenal, he should be aiming higher This. The boy can play for Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern whether they want him or not is another matter but he certainly has the talent and the same goes for N'Golo.

Chrysalis Posted 6 June 2016 Share Posted 6 June 2016 think back to a couple of summers ago we struggled to sign our targets, the release clause probably was the difference between a successful and failed signing, its annoying but its probably something the club were forced to agree to with kante. Mahrez I am pretty sure has no clause. Vardy's makes less sense but it is there probably again because he or his agent insisted on it for whatever reason. A release clause might be favoured by a club if they considering selling the player in future and they think its higher than what the player is worth.

jim5000 Posted 6 June 2016 Share Posted 6 June 2016 R oyston., on 05 Jun 2016 - 11:39 PM, said: at what point would it be worth simply refusing to let anyone leave until their contract has expired? Don't have that option with release clauses Yes they do. Liverpool told Arsenal to do one when they offered £1 over the release clause for Suarez. City could easily tell Arsenal to F off, the only risk is that then Vardy, Kante, Mahrez whoever can take them to court for breach of contract. When this happened with Suarez, the Liverpool owners correctly realised, Suarez is not going to drag the club through a 12 month court case for this. Arsenal would have no comeback, we have no contract with them saying how much we will sell players for, the only contract is between City and our players. We can choose to breach it and risk them taking us to court (or being very unhappy), but that's it. You don't have to sell if the release clause is met.

st albans fox Posted 6 June 2016 Share Posted 6 June 2016 suarez had the whole of Europe prepared to buy him at the right price. As it happened, barca paid a big fee a year later. I am pretty sure that l'pool asked him to give them another year and that his agent knew of barca's interest. If he rely wanted to go to arsenal then he would have made sure it happened, once they had triggered the fee. In addition, I suspect release clauses have now been redrafted to make them watertight.

WengersWingMan Posted 6 June 2016 Share Posted 6 June 2016 They ignored it because he didn't want to go to Arsenal. He could have made them honour it if he wanted to. That is how release clauses work. Arsenal looked like fools because they offered without checking he would talk to them first. What happened is open to some debate. But how do you think we knew about the release clause? His agent told us because he wanted the move, just like Vardy/Kante's agent shopped around their release clauses. He wanted the move, Liverpool rejected the bid claiming the clause only allowed Suarez to be informed but it didn't have to be accepted. Now if it was clever world play it's a good move by Liverpool and a poor move by his agent. The club owner Henry later said it was binding but he thought he could get away without Suarez challenging it. Suarez then later gets a new contract probably with a big compensation payment for breaking the release clause so he doesn't sue. Liverpool got away with it but in theory if they do break the terms of a contract a player could not only sue for massive damages but as the contract is broken does that invalidate the contract?

But back to Mahrez can't see him wanting to go back to play in France. I get the argument that PSG just walk the league and some players (maybe Mahrez) want to compete against good competition to prove themselves. But to live in Paris and earn shit loads would be difficult to turn down for anyone. Even if you had to put up with the dirty French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretPro Posted 6 June 2016 Share Posted 6 June 2016 Mahrez ain't going anywhere, from what I've been told he actually loves Leicester as a place and is very happy to have his family here. His missus is the opposite of Vards too, not interested in the media in the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 6 June 2016 Share Posted 6 June 2016 whatever Jamie decides, the club have revealed they are prepared to go to extreme lengths to keep the players. Kasper and simo are apparently close to agreeing new deals. All the players agents will be looking at how vardy got his deal down and may well try and copy it (within reason). We are going to have to increase our wage bill enormously just to stand still. Expect a lot of stories to appear about our better players moving to new clubs. We were told that NG had a new deal on the table. What if thats for 100k and vards has been offered more? Playing games with some of the players to save what we will inevitably have to pay could drive them away. We should be clever and decide which ones we aren't prepared to lose and make them an offer which shows how much we value them. Once they are signed up we can plan better aswell. Unless we are sure that they are staying, how can we plan recruitment ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
