sylofox Posted 12 October 2017 Posted 12 October 2017 I doubt it as we had nothing to bargain with. Why do I see Ruskin's name cropping up a lot in this thread.
st albans fox Posted 12 October 2017 Posted 12 October 2017 We were lucky to get what we did no chance there is a sell on clause. They player will have told Chelsea he wouldn't go elsewhere. We had to sell to a CL club for 20m. What bargaining position did we have?
TiffToff88 Posted 12 October 2017 Posted 12 October 2017 If they activated his release clause (which they did) there would be no reason to include a sell on clause. We've had every penny we're ever going to get from him.
stripeyfox Posted 12 October 2017 Posted 12 October 2017 I don't think Chelsea are going to sell him anytime soon are they?

AjcW Posted 12 October 2017 Posted 12 October 2017 I know everyone will be pissed off if there isn't one. But the max it will have been if we have is probably 20% £18 million will probably only fund half a player next season..... And with any transfer probably being split over a few years.... it's pretty pointless to worry about the affect it could have on us.

Captain... Posted 12 October 2017 Posted 12 October 2017 Nobody knows the answer therefore Rudkin is a useless cvnt. Classic foxestalk.
Guest the fox Posted 12 October 2017 Posted 12 October 2017 yes, there is! rudkin made sure that caen will get 25% of the fee! i love our management!!!!
foxy boxing Posted 12 October 2017 Posted 12 October 2017 there should have been, because everyone knew the player was ambitious and wanted to play for one of the European giants like Real Madrid!.

Yes, and everybody knew exactly how good he was and how much potential he has. That's precisely why he ended up at Leicester.

In that situation, and if he was 100% set on Chelsea, we could have just told them we wouldn't sell without a sell-on clause I suppose.

No because he had a release clause. If a player has a release clause and wants to go to the club that triggers it, there is no negotiation that can be done on our part.

Chelsea couldn't trigger it though, it was for CL clubs only- we accepted their bid because it was a bit higher that we would have got from other clubs. My point is, if he was dead-set on Chelsea and wasn't going to join anyone else, we did have some bargaining power. Chelsea wouldn't have wanted to run the risk of him going elsewhere either.

It was a little more complex. We were under no obligation to sell to Chelsea. They were not CL qualified. We could have refused to sell but then run the risk that Arsenal, united or Man City or European club came in with 20 mill before Aug 31st. We judged that taking the 12 mill extra was the best way out considering the player wanted the move (any move) and would likely go whatever. Once we played a couple of games in the new season, 20 mill would look like a steal!
Dan Posted 12 October 2017 Posted 12 October 2017 Highly doubt it. We lost any bargaining position with him the minute we threw that clause into his contract.

But Chelsea surely knew this and knew as a result we'd rather sell him to them than say Arsenal. It was probably in our interests to sell him to them.

Our bargaining power wasn't great, but it was higher than 0.

Our bargaining power wasn't great, but it was higher than 0. This is the club who paid £45mil for Slimani and Musa dealing with a side that gets £60mil for Oscar. It's like a negotiating Germany v San Marino I do agree with your point for what it's worth although I suppose it's who caves in first.
