Why would it?? Depends what was in the contract between us and City.

because that is the law...
Don't like us reneging on agreements both from a moral but also a practical point of view.
City are spending lots of money on their academy and are unlikely to be able to play all their youngsters, we are an obvious club to either loan or buy some of those that cannot make their first team.
Equally there are players like Barry that no longer have a place there that will work well at our club.
Good relationships help with those type of negotiations, seems silly to jeapardise those over a fee we had previously agreed to pay.

you cannot enforce and unenforceable term it will be deemed null and void.

Agree with this; depends on what the contract says. Hopefully the attorneys/barristers did their job and drafted the contract with enough specificity that interpretation is clear. Unfortunately, if they're fighting over the 2M then the language may in fact be vague.
If we have signed and agreed to the terms, we should stick to them. I think us trying to fight them will bite us on the arse.

your talking from a moralistic point of view, football lost its morals a long time ago.

Legally as well, if we have signed and entered into a legal contract we abide by it.

I don't think it's that simple, City can't hold terms or have influence contractually over something or someone they don't 'own' or have rights to. They no longer have any rights over Barry so any terms they have with a 3rd party would be void. I can't make an agreement with you for my neighbours car except if it was a bet and only then if I had a gambling licence.

It wouldn't matter what language was used. They either have rights over Barry or they don't.

Still not signed, what an absolute joke this club IS EH. LETS SORT THIS OUT!
Just a smokescreen while we sign that kid from Reims...
From a personal point of view, a few years back i left my job to join a competitor. Three months garden leave which was boss, but when i started my new job i was not able to speak to certain customers due to a clause in my old companies contract. I was not employed by them anymore, but legally i was not allowed contact to certain customers for a further six months. It happens, them the rules unfortunately.
