Mmm, Me Myself and Money: The Other Teams Thread [R]

I hope they get Lewa . He's more of a replacement for Benzema so they would still be a hole, he wouldn't be cheap and wouldn't make their regular XI any younger.

Harry Kane just signed a new contract. No way Spurs sell him right away.

If they sign Mbappe we are screwed!

Agree Hazard is the most likely to go there.

 

You make some good points but remember teams use a new contract with new terms to make their player more valuable

 

LPB just signed their head coach a couple weeks after he signed a new contract.

Sport is also claiming that Hazard is also Barca's primary target. not entirely sure i believe that, but it'll be interesting to see where he ends up.

 

Do you know of any examples of players signing 6 year deals and then being transferred weeks later? Honest question.

I know long term deals don't mean a heck of a lot, but I was under the impression it signified that the player would at least remain put for 1-2 years in practice, barring some financial catastrophe at the club.

 

It's common practice as they also increase the player's buy out clause fee

 

Buy out clauses are a Spain thing. Don’t exist in England.

 

Really ??

Didn't know that ...

"Release clauses are also not common(as are buy-out clauses) in English football, but a number of examples have been reported in recent years, such as Demba Ba at Newcastle and Marouane Fellaini at Everton. As became apparent during the Luis Suarez transfer affair, the drafting of a release clause is key. "

 

According to Mendes, Ronaldo will retire at Juventus. Poor Utd fans who thought he’ll rejoin their club lol.

 

Good research. Although I think they are still very rare outside of Spain and I think one other country (forget which - Ligue 1?).

Actually I'm not even sure if its a regular thing in Spain. Is it just the top 2 or 3 players on La Liga sides plus all of Barca and LPB's players, or does even Zaragoza's back-up goalkeeper have a buyout clause?

 

in Spain i think every contract has to have a buy-out clause by law.
in most other places it only happens if the player/agent and club agree to include it in their contract.

 

FFS finish already i want to see Nadal x Djokovic jeez it's 23-23 now

 

This is why I don't watch grass court tennis. Just a bunch of dudes banging 600mph serves past each other. Then analysts will go on about it like its some classic.

 

I wonder why they would want to do that(?).

Out of curiosity, how many breaks-of-serve were there in that semifinal (out of the ~100 games played)?

 

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu and now they stop Nadal x Djokovic match when its 2 sets to one for Novak , just finish the match ffs i won't be able to watch tomorrow

 

That's London for you. Pubs close at 11:00. Restaurants start shutting down at 8:30.
Weird for a big city.

 

LOL what? I thought he hated Juve. Is Zidane in love with CR7 or something

 

Why would Zidane hate Juventus ?

He had a great time there as I recall ..

 

haha... I bet now Florentino is wishing he held-out for a few more million in exchange for CR7.

 

Damn, LPB seems to be getting Courtois for super cheap (~€35mn)! That's not good...

 

they're wasting money on a position they already had covered.
