Wasnt he player of the year in his 1st or 2nd season?
If we did sell in the summer for £60mil+ it wouldnt be ideal but that would be the 2nd highest transfer after Kepa i think?
All positive.
Yeah but as I said above, if we do go down it's so obviously in his interests to leave, and in our interest to sell & remove him from the wage bill, that a relegation clause almost becomes redundant. What would it do that both parties wouldn't be seeking to do anyway?That can't be true. In all honesty a relegation clause would suit both parties, I can't see why there wouldn't be one. We couldn't support his wages if we went down and a clause would ease his departure. I'm glad he's signing up but without a drop clause for transfer I'm assuming there's also no wage reduction clause either, which is high risk given our position.
I guess it would set a price for buyers that was written in stone and may facilitate a quick move. Obviously we could set an asking price but it may get bogged down in negotiations and there's only a limited number of teams looking for a no. 1. I suspect we'd have no problems moving him on but you never know, Sunderland were stuck with a load of high earners they couldn't shift, if we go down we may well be in the same boat.Yeah but as I said above, if we do go down it's so obviously in his interests to leave, and in our interest to sell & remove him from the wage bill, that a relegation clause almost becomes redundant.

I guess, but with a clause like that if you set it too high no one will pay it and since we're forced sellers we have to take a lower offer, or you set it below what the market will pay and you get mugged off. So it's only really a benefit if it's set at the correct market value, in which case you don't really need it anyway.I guess it would set a price for buyers that was written in stone and may facilitate a quick move.

Hopefully it's all an irrelevance!I guess, but with a clause like that if you set it too high no one will pay it and since we're forced sellers we have to take a lower offer, or you set it below what the market will pay and you get mugged off.

While this is true, they didn't have the clear starting goalkeeper for England in their side.I guess it would set a price for buyers that was written in stone and may facilitate a quick move.
