Suspect that our players look at what happened to Zaha, who apparently had a gentleman’s agreement etc. If it were me I’d rather control my own future and that means insisting on a release clause.

Some clubs on the continent are putting release clauses of £150 million on talented youngsters to keep predators out of the way.

On his recent contract, I agree it may well have been difficult.

My take is that both Olise and Eze would only sign new contracts provided a release clause was included. If the club had not done so then it's possible that both players ( Olise certainly ) would have already left the club. Agree that the amount of the release clause seems heavily weighted in favour of the players in these cases. Olise is certainly worth far more than Palace are receiving for him. In terms of Caceido and Cucerella, my understanding was that Caceido didn't have a fee attached to his release clause and Cucurella didn't have one at all. But it seems ridiculous that Brighton were able to extract those sums for those players. Unfortunately we missed out last year on the absolute stupidity of the new Chelsea management who had a billion to waste in an attempt to buy success. It was Brighton’s good fortune that there was a mug around the corner at just the right time to be fleeced!

Regardless of clauses etc. - once the clause has been triggered I suspect that it is up to the player who he joins.

It would depend upon the wording of the clause, but I think this is broadly correct. Originally posted by The Dolphin

At the end of the day this guy is a professional sportsman and fully understands football’s loyalty having been kicked out of the Chelsea and was it Arsenal’s academy.

f***ing Bayern. Trying to nick our manager, Wharton and now they've actually taken Olise. It was bad enough when West Ham were signing everyone we were linked with, now we have this.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold... |
