TheNinja
Player Valuation: £20m
Pure conjecture... You've not seen his contract details like the rest of us haven't.Not according to the transfer agreement with Everton he's not.
If he signs a new contract with Everton he's considered to have signed a contract extension so the terms and conditions of the transfer agreement apply. In full. So £10 million is due at appearance number 20
That's not saying it's not something we had agreed to put in there, but if they've put a clause in like that, surely they would have put one in to say if he plays for Everton at any time in the future, then the number of games continues to the payment clause? To protect against him signing for 'An other' club on a short term deal for us to then 'buy' him for a mutually beneficial small fee, thus not a so called 'contract extension'.
