BOF Posted May 28, 2015 Moderator Share Posted May 28, 2015 Just do a Swindon and sell them 2 players splitting the fee between them so we get more of the Tekkers share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Yeah if Liverpool are in a race then they're f**ked. The only way they're getting him is if they have a clear run at him. Honestly if we are even considering offers near £20ml I can't see Chelsea/United and Arsenal not being interesting.United use Fellani as a target man why not buy an actual target man.Chelsea need another decent striker if they want to compete over multiply trophies as Costa is injury prone and is a walking red card.I also think playing at Chelsea with Hazard would be a big draw at them seem to be good friends.

Oaks Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Well if it's Liverpool just ignore the buy out clause, that's what they do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 It's not that disappointing ..32.5mil is a pretty big sum.I'd rather keep him of course but if his release fee was say 20mil then I would be worried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I think with that release clause he is certainly off this summer. Really not looking to the rebuilding if i'm honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Sometimes Sherwood should learn when not to talk - this is just going to get the media more fired up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 So if it's £32.5m, with a 15% sell-on clause due to Genk, we'll actually get around £27.6m. That's... Okay, I suppose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 In fairness 30m is about his value right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 If Lerner stays, that'll be our summer spending money. And relegation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggy_333 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Does seem weird that Sherwood has chosen to let people know if they didn't already know so close to such an important game. Seems really strange. We really don't need to be advertising out biggest asset to other clubs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 As long as the fee is reinvested a long with any money we were planning to spend we should be fine. The chances of that happening with Lerner still looking to sell are probably slim though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabby Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 TBF to Sherwood its pretty clear Liverpool have been leaking their interest to the press so he has just been honest about it.I do find it funny one article stating Liverpool can offer european football when 1) we have the chance at the same 2) They failed abysmally in europe last season in both cups !!

If he's been told he's getting no money and any transfers have to be purchased through player sales then it really is the final stab in the back from Randy. A nice parting shot.

danceoftheshamen Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 If that's true whoever was daft enough to put that clause in needs a check up from the neck up, Daft idiots.. I though a buy out clause was supposed to be higher than the players actual value? If Sterling is worth 50m then Benteke can't be far off that and a buy out clause should have been set way higher than 32.5m, Goodness me this club does itself no favours! Also why is our manager releasing this kind of info on the eve of an FA cup final? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Don't care how much money it is, it's going to be terrible when he leaves. Can't see us replacing him properly at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
