    Ings was £6.5m plus clauses though and arguably more established at PL level than Chalobah.
     
  2. My guess is its bs to appease chelski fans

    Chelsea Youth Twitter says they don't have one and he's been spot on so far

    Udinese could sign him for nowt though. Chelsea probably knew this and are cutting their losses especially if we were his preferred destination. I also think a buyback clause is bs. First refusal maybe.

    Yeah, talk of a buyback does not compute to me at all. If they'd insisted on it, surely Gino just wouldn't have bought him? It's not like we need him, and they are in no position to make that demand with Chalobah in the last year of his contract. Although he's a great talent, he's still largely unproven, and so getting however many millions they did for him is the best they could hope for; if they started buyback nonsense when dealing, Gino could just have gone "Ok, No then" and got him for free in a year's time, or seen him go to another club who were foolish enough to agree to it. Dealing is literally the Pozzos MO, how they run their clubs, and they've done it successfully for a quarter of a century. I don't see why they'd suddenly crumble to a disadvantageous deal now.

    I'll eat my hat if there's a buy back. Talk of a buy back is utter nonsense. He had a year on his contract and had no intention of signing a new deal.

    Also although I gets reids logic I'd have thought Chelsea would have mentioned it in their official announcement if so just to placate their fans.

    So a reporter says there is 100% buy back and sell on but doesn't give details ,sounds like B.S. to me ,Gino wouldn't have done a buy back , I would assume a sell on clause though.
    Chelsea fans in uproar at losing their youth, thus I think have leaked a clock and bull story to appease said fans.

    They might have gotten a 10% sell-on if they're lucky? Nay chance of a buy back. I'd let Gino negotiate in a hostage situation. He's not agreeing to a buy back.

    reporter also thought some of these things were normal / standard - showed a lack of knowledge - in this market they are the exception - only really Spain where a buyout is standard/required and that gives no preferential status to the seller - so i conclude like you that the BB clause is wishful thinking from someone who is pissed at his team being turned over by us

    Bad idea, we did it with Deeney's goal and they stuffed us 3-0

    Cleverly, Hughes, Chalobah, all these young English players filling the squad, how are foreign loanees supposed to flourish? WFC sum up everything that is wrong in the game today....Bloody disgrace!

    NO CHALOBAH BACK-BACK CLAUSE

    Despite reports elsewhere, there is no buy-back clause in the deal that saw Nathaniel Chalobah join Watford from Chelsea, according to Sky sources.

    The England U21 international midfielder moved to Vicarage Road on a five-year deal on Thursday night.

    This posted on sky sports, so reporter was wrong about a buy back clause.

    Wrong = Lied. He said he was 100% on it. Gotta get those clicks for the Evening Standard somehow.

    Frustrating if true. Gino should have insisted on a 'if you want to buy him back you pay double' clause especially for Chelsea.

    Saw a Daily Mail article pop up on NewsNow and it seems that Chelsea have assumed our mantle as "all that is wrong with modern football" as they never give a chance to anyone from their academy. We need to up our game and start falsifying some more docs so that we can get back on top.

    This is a terrific interview. I can't get over how genuinely pleased he is to have signed for us, especially after his recent experiences at Chelsea......that tends to turn people.

    He's a really top bloke and so grounded. No hint of attitude and I love that sort of humble yet ambitious character.

    The more I think about it, this really is an incredible signing.

    Evening standard reporter must have been confused with the Chalobah bareback clause

    Massively chuffed NC is back and frankly if he plays like he did in 12/13 without progression I would be happy.

    Only July but if this isn't voted thread of the year then the world has gone mad. I think this thread sums up life as a Watford supporter with the rollercoaster of emotion, speculation (we're linked), joy (he could be coming back), dull boredom (who else would you like to see return), a little joy (we're his preferred option), despair (Conte rates him and Bakayakakoko hasn't signed), more boredom (which other players would you like to see back), even more boredom (Cher), hope (nobody else is in), utter despair (Swansea, Southampton, new Chelsea contact, no way he's coming), weirdo stalking (you know who you are, if you ever see a Cadillac Escalade parked in your street get the f*** out of there), unbridled joy (he's signed!!!!!!!!!!!), realism (unproven will he made the team) rounded of with sarcasm (usual fodder).

    In times of woe re-read this thread to remind yourself that it all turns out OK in the end.
