Finnegan Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 A bit, he'll be in the squad. Behind Ramsey, Allen, Ledley, Bale and probably Joniesta though. Nice to be able to say that. Should have a solid, strong, completely premiership midfield / attack by Euro 16. Definitely by the next world cup, if we qualify.
Itsthejoeker Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 £3.5mil. I swear Drinkwater was £500k I thought Drink was £999,999 and James £1
dave_the_fox Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 I thought Drink was £999,999 and James £1 No that was RDL i think we paid nearer two mil for the pair but RDL cost a quid to screw stoke over, i think
Itsthejoeker Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 No that was RDL i think we paid nearer two mil for the pair but RDL cost a quid to screw stoke over, i think Get muddled up with all these ex Man U players!
FrankieWorthoYaggedMyWife Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 He's more than good enough for you, you're just being picky now. Is Huwys getting in for Wales yet? Its painful that probably the two best players in Britain are leek eaters!
jimmeh Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 De laet was free transfer. His contract was up at man united summer 2012.
Finnegan Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 Its painful that probably the two best players in Britain are leek eaters! There's really no probably about it.
NewburyFox Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 De laet was free transfer. His contract was up at man united summer 2012. Nope. I think I remember reading that it was £2m for the pair, although the deal was made so that we paid £1,999,999 for James and £1 for De Laet in order to by-pass Stoke's entitlement to a % of De Laet's transfer fee. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18084304 - states 'undisclosed fees' for both.
FrankieWorthoYaggedMyWife Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 There's really no probably about it. I know I was just softening the blow to myself! Ashley Williams would prob get in the England side at Centre Half as well....
justfoxes Posted 4 September 2014 Posted 4 September 2014 According to this link Man Utd have a first offer buy back clause written into the £1M deal !! http://www.givemesport.com/500734-manchester-united-have-first-option-to-buy-back-tom-lawrence?autoplay=on
GingerrrFox Posted 4 September 2014 Posted 4 September 2014 Doesn't mean we have to sell him. Just that if we are selling him they have first refusal at our asking price.
Captain... Posted 4 September 2014 Author Posted 4 September 2014 Doesn't mean we have to sell him. Just that if we are selling him they have first refusal at our asking price. I thought the selling price was set as part of the buy back clause at £11m, but that is based on info posted on here rather than anything official.
Ric Flair Posted 4 September 2014 Posted 4 September 2014 Buy back clauses are very unusual in England but seem to be rife in Italy and Spain, which might also be to do with the shared ownership and crap like that.
zak_lcfc Posted 4 September 2014 Posted 4 September 2014 Not that surprising he's a promising 20 year old kid, in the past United would have probably brought him through themselves but the rare predicament they're in they probably can't risk using a youngster when they badly need points!
GingerrrFox Posted 4 September 2014 Posted 4 September 2014 I thought the selling price was set as part of the buy back clause at £11m, but that is based on info posted on here rather than anything official. It will be one of the 2. Either a buy back clause will have a stipulated fee within the contract or a first refusal that becomes activated when we accept a transfer offer from another club. Only people who know which it is are Terry and the hierarchy above plus Lawrence's agent.
Itsthejoeker Posted 4 September 2014 Posted 4 September 2014 Would hate the prospect of them being able to buy him back if he becomes great
Ric Flair Posted 6 September 2014 Posted 6 September 2014 I'm still amazed we've only paid £1 million for this lad.
Freesolo Posted 6 September 2014 Posted 6 September 2014 The way he moves with the ball reminds me of a young Ronaldo
Captain... Posted 6 September 2014 Author Posted 6 September 2014 Would hate the prospect of them being able to buy him back if he becomes great They can only buy him back if he wants to go, and if he wants to go he can just run down his contract and leave, it is a nothing clause and if triggered means he has been a sccess here, the worse case scenario is he never makes it and just rots away in the reserves, if United buy him back we get a £10m profit, which means we will have paid £1m and developed him into an £11m player and had him playing well for a sustained period. He will have to be outstanding for United to buy him back to compete with Di Maria, Mata and co.
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 6 September 2014 Posted 6 September 2014 RdL and James came together for about £1.2-£1.4m combined. There have been subsequent add ons to that due to promotion but the initial combined fees were a bargain. All of NP's signings (in his second spell, up to this summer) have been £1m or less, before the promotion add ons kick in #shrewd edit - his links with MUFC have been especially good, obviously

cadno Posted 4 October 2014 Posted 4 October 2014 Does anyone know how far away he is from getting first team football?
Lineker's Left Foot Posted 4 October 2014 Posted 4 October 2014 Would give Powell and Lawrence a go in the squad for the Newcastle game
