But we don't need a huge turnover! I'm not sure that's completely good news. We just need to keep hold of the core of the team and add to it.bolloxbolder said:The only regular in the know person is Dr Kish aka Ketts. Here is what he posted on CAFC picks 11 hours ago:-
"Keep your eyes peeled over the next couple of days Ed, good news might not be far away.
Think we need to remember that the transfer window doesn't open for another couple of weeks. There'll be a huge turnover of players this summer, with plenty coming in. We just need to be a little patient."
Sounds promising, hopefully more than just Bulot rejoining us.3 -
Just read that QPR get 20% sell on fee for Sterling if/when Liverpool sell him. Could be upwards of £8m. Liverpool paid less than £1m as a 15 year old.0

Rumour (so I am on the correct thread) has it that RD is somewhat unimpressed with our position in the transfer market and consequently employed a top PR company to make us THE Ebay of Clubs.
He has already, however, rejected a couple of suggestions as they are not perceived to be original enough - "Not knowingly Overpriced" for our youth academy and "All Tat Bought/No Fee Too Much" for our Network purchases.

From the BBC website:
Liverpool hope to finalise a deal for Charlton teenager Joe Gomez later this week, with the 18-year-old scheduled to undergo a medical on Friday, according to Press Association Sport.
It is understood the Anfield club have triggered a £3.5m release clause in the England Under-19 international's contract which has paved the way for the move to be completed and he will meet with club officials on Merseyside on Friday.

I mentioned that possibility on Monday (bottom of page 57). It was the only explaination I could think of for such a 'low' fee.SELR_addicks said:From the BBC website:

I hope they are wrong, but it makes sense.0 -

In the old days a new contract had just two elements to it - how long and how much. Now the Owner, Manager, Player, Player's Agent, Player's Lawyer etc etc have to spend three months negotiating the level of the release clause.SELR_addicks said:From the BBC website:

Tottenham are interested in Swansea's Jonjo Shelvey, according to The Guardian.
With Paulinho and Etienne Capoue likely to move on this summer, Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino would like to bolster his options in midfield and he feels Shelvey would fit perfectly into his system.1 -
If the BBC article is correct and Gomez has a 3.5 mill release cause written into his contract I will be very disappointed. RD has definitely missed a trick if this is the case.
Should be 5-6 mill minimum.0 -

£3.5m release clause for Gomez? I hope that's not true.

A release clause? Does it mean we are shafted on this one even if there are others interested?1

How would you put a release cause in a 17 year old's contract? Hard to believe.1

I reckon the release clause would have been decided by JG and his representatives as they knew he was being tracked and probably didn't want the big clubs being put off. Not ITK but just a thought1
-
presumably a release clause states that any bid of or more than the agreed figure in the clause will mean that the player can move should he decide to do so.seth plum said:A release clause? Does it mean we are shafted on this one even if there are others interested?
If, for example, Liverpool bid 3.5 mllion and Southampton 5 million, Gomez can choose either club. CAFC however cannot hold out for the larger amount bid by Southampton because Liverpool have bid the amount agreed in the release clause.
But it all depends on the actual wording of the clause in the contract0 -
exactly, why can't some people see this instead of using it as another stick to beat RD over the head with? The alternative would have been a Poyet situation and a fee decided by tribunal of two shirt buttons and a bag of Tesco pick n mix.Paddy Powell said:

No issues with a release clause - just the figure, it's far too low. If true.LargeAddick said:

It wouldn't have even gone to a tribunal. Gomez at 17 years old would have been an EPPP payment of less than £1m + add ons. Just like Kasey Palmer.LargeAddick said:

Poyet was 19 and not eligible under EPPP rules. He would have been a tribunal case.

If there is a release clause thats a massive kick in the balls for us.
Whoever agreed to that is a bloody idiot.3 -
As mentioned earlier in the thread maybe that was the only way we could get him to sign a new contract.EastStand said:If there is a release clause thats a massive kick in the balls for us.

At least we get a transfer fee . It could have been a development fee like Poyet.

I'm sure if that's the case , Roland will put his 'contractual lawyer' ; Ms.Miere on the case of finding a loophole or ways round it!0

Rich Cawley tweeting that reports of a release clause are incorrect.
I hope he's right.8 -
Reports that Joe Gomez has £3.5m release clause are not right. If that was the price then deal would already be done and dusted.

If you remember last year Suarez had. 40m clause and arsenal bid 40.000.001. He didnt end up there he went to Barca for more money.

We should give RD some credit for this as it is more than we would have got under the previous regime. However, it is still far too lowStarinnaddick said:

but there are two parties involved in agreeing a release clause. too low, we don't get a decent fee, too high and he doesn't sign a contract and we get next to no fee. what would you prefer?The Red Robin said:
