Could very well bridge the difference between what we want for the player and what Valencia can afford to pay. Wages off the books, loyalty bonus foregone and £2-3m say and there's a deal to be had for all parties.
There’s no loyalty in football - Capoue appears loyal purely because no one has come in for him before. £8m well spent, yes and he has been a good player but nothing more than that imo. I have said in here before I’m not a big fan of his and I really don’t think we will miss him too much
Seems he’s willing to take a wage cut to play for Valencia, but still draws his higher wage whilst not playing for us.
It's not really a loyalty bonus per se. You have to think of it in pure contract law terms. A club - we'll call it Botford - signs a player up to ludicrous 5 year contract. They agree to pay him £X a week for that period. If they try to sell him before that period if up, Botford are breaching the contract they have with him and so he's entitled to compensation accordingly.
Indeed. It's not something I'm overly familiar with, but it seems that rather than hand in a request, players can easily use social media, carefully worded come and get me interviews and their agents to agitate for a move, whilst ostensibly staying 'loyal.'
But that doesn't make sense. The player has to consent to the sale and in doing so, transfer the obligations of that transfer onto the purchaser. It's not like clubs just cut the player adrift.
Lmao apparently we still want 3-5m euros for him. So in a month we have made exactly no progress on this move! The Spanish media are just pathetic.
The easiest way to look at it from a layman's perspective is if you have a fixed rate mortgage for 5 years, where there will be an early repayment penalty. Even though I've agreed to may a certain amount of which includes interest for 5 years, by coming out early the bank want some of the interest they would have received and that's where the penalty comes in. On the other hand, in the unlikely scenario bank don't want my business anymore and tell me to borrow elsewhere and pay up, I shouldn't pay a penalty because it wouldn't be my choice to move the mortgage.
Considering we've made it pretty clear we're happy to sell for less than £5m, I'm surprised there aren't more clubs interested. Still got a good couple of years at the top level in him imo
If Sarr is back we need a forward that can keep up with him and get on the end of the decent balls he puts in the box.
Botford used to have a great side way back - I used to really enjoy watching them. So sorry to see they have fallen so far due to financial woes.
If the player is to consent to the sale ('the breach of contract') he's going to expect something in return.
Well, it is that way, but I'm sure it's reasonable that the move, the possible signing on fee, the probable increase in wages should be enough. Ok, if a player was asked to accept a move downward, to earn less money, then it would make sense.
Any new or lower half Prem club should bite our hands off for anything under 5m. It's chicken feed in Prem money and he would improve any midfield in that bottom half (I say with absolutely no knowledge of any players in those sides). I don't think his wages would be high for a Prem club either, or we wouldn't have signed him.
Sounds like Javi admits to tapping Capoue up: http://sportwitness.co.uk/watford-capoue-valencia-suarez-granada-transfer/
what a rat faced little **** he is (Gracia, not UEA Hornet). "He is a player who has asked to leave that situation" "That situation" is your fault, you snaggle-toothed gurning simpleton.
Imagine putting in a transfer request and still not leaving. This is getting more awkward than the time we signed Collins John before realising he had a wonky leg
Or when we took Jack Rodwell on trial. Imagine your scouts recommending Rodwell and Ndong, two players not good enough for the championship, on high wages and both with absolutely ******* dreadful attitudes. Pozzo scouting network in action!
It seems the more money the club has had the more stupid moves it has made, Ndong, why did we take him on loan when he then got nowhere near the team, do they do any research on who they are signing! Could probably add another dozen names in the same category!
Both Rodwell and Ravel Morrison on the books there which seems mad because they don't seem like Chris Wilder types
