Also IMO when the bid is Xmillion + Zmillion add ons, those add ons could be for hitting targets the player or team may never, or at least unlikely get, so if the bid was £25m + £3m add ons, don't think of it as a £28m bid, but just a £25m bid really with a Brucie bonus chance at getting a little extra bunce.
Id take the 25M whatever the add ons were. I just want him out and when do we ever buy a player and sell him for 15M more. Spurs and others seem to but we dont. Take the 25M, buy Hogan and get Payet out
Alderz ;ok I'm certainly not defending him, for what ... But the club could also just be playing it safe, fear of injury etc, the same reason IMO why he cannot be loaned, just get shot ;ok
I hope we fined him 2 weeks worth when he initially refused to play ( and we keep on fining him if he is genuinely continuing to say he will not play ) ;angry
LeQuipe say Marseille are confident a deal will be done by Tuesday. Apparently we have threatened to report them to FIFA about tapping up. So they will cough up with the money
As far as I am aware, while he is attending training when asked, he is keeping to his side of the deal as far as footballer's contracts go. The argument that refusing to play matches is an issue is that if we didn't pay him for refusing to play, he could then say he would play, and if picked purposely play poorly, which of course is not in our interest.
I'm not saying I agree with this rule, but as far as I am aware this is why only sticking to training is a contractually binding part.
I remember a few years back buying my WHU away shirt from world soccer shop.com,
A couple of days later I got an e-mail from the site that said something like, those who bought this item may be interested in this item etc etc and attached a link
The sadest part is the way he has gone about it.... I think most of us concede he and his family are/ have been homesick.... If only he had handled it differently and spoke from the heart from the get go..... Sadly it will leave a bitter taste and hard to swallow.
However much people want him gone it is/will still be very sad when he goes.
I had him up there with Di Canio amongst the most exciting players I have ever seen in a West Ham shirt (I've followed since the 1980s) such was his genius quality - and I would have still had him up there after he left (because it was always going to impossible to keep him at West Ham) but the circumstances of his departure have now changed my mind completely.
