Transfer Rumour Andriy Yarmolenko

[Jxg]

Maybe someone can explain to me, or maybe the Echo, how a release clause works. Because, if i am thinking right here, they have no legs to make any sort of demands or requests after a release clause is matched.

Untrue.

See: Arsenal's £40,000,001.00 bid for Suarez.

It's not legal to deny a player's transfer through a release clause, but there is little the player can do about it. Sure, he can take the club to a tribunal but it will take weeks, even months. By the time the verdict is decided, the transfer window will be gone, the player will be hated by the club's fans (and possibly other fans) and he may have been told that he will rot in the reserves for the remainder of his contract. The club that went in for him won't wait around and will target another player. This is exactly what Liverpool did with Suarez.

very disappointing

At least if Yarmolenko is off they won't dare sell Stones....

*Clutches at straws

Can we have a Bernard-o-meter please?

No mate, because I don't give a toss about Bernard.

 

[RFUS]

Anyone know much about Bernard? I'm aware of him, saw him briefly at the World Cup and have seen him occasionally in Europe, but I never thought he looked Prem material. He's about 4 foot tall for starters. Doesn't score many either.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

I think echo are doing a job for the club. All part of negotiations and tactics.

 

[nsno-chris]

Meeting the release and how the payments are to be made will be the stumbling block.

A tenner down and the rest if we win the cl probably

 

[KevMirallas]

Bernard's not really all that though.

 

[roydo]

Disappointing, that. Basically we wouldn't pay what they wanted.

I heard it was more likely they wanted loads of bonus payments and sell on fees. We wanted to pay upfront, upped the offer, they considered it, rinse and repeat.

 

[blue4eva77]

If we've switched our intentions elsewhere because of problems, it's the right thing. I wanted Yarmolenko, believe he is perfect but we can't hang about.

It's the right decision if this proves true.

Is he the Brazilian player?

 

[abelard]

they might also be hoping this will have the effect of telling Dynamo to stop being a pain in the ass, and to prompt Yarmolenko to lobby for the move more forcefully

 

[zaitken]

Is the source even credible? I really want Yarm. If he ends up going to Stoke or Sours cos we're so ***** tight, I'm going to rage.

Bernard is four foot nothing and 100lbs. He would get utterly crushed in the Premier League. He'd probably die after one shoulder barge.
