"Minimum fee" yeah, it's defo a load of wank then. He's either got a buyout clause or he hasn't.

I really am tempted to not type this but if they're blues who live in Lanzarote then there's a good chance I knows who it is.

It ain't what you do it's the way you do it.

Cool story, bro.

I honestly think if we don't qualify for the Champions League in two years time then Ross Barkley will still be the best player in the world and worth a minimum fee of at least one billion euros.

When you look at it and you consider Ross's potential as a player, it's hard to overestimate the potential he has as a player. Other clubs would be looking to hold on to a player of that calibre and it's a joke that we're even considering sending text messages about him.

We don't deserve him, I only hope a top team like Newcastle secure his services so he can fulfill his potential.

Minimum fee of £44m? LOL.

Kenwright's done some stupid things as Chairman of this club, but putting a minimum release fee in Ross' contract is already too stupid to be true, let alone a fee as low as £44m.

Utter horse sh**.

I got in quick last weekend and put him back in my fantasy PL team whilst his price is low. I'm hoping he may just squeeze onto the bench for the villa game!!

Schoolboy error using up transfers 2 weeks before the next game.

It may well be BS, but I question whether Mr Kenwright was the person holding the cards when it came down to contract negotiations. I think the person with most of the power would have been Barkley, or his agent in all likelihood.

There's no such thing as a "minimum release clause" - it's simply called a release clause. I know United payed more than Felli's clause, but that's because it had expired. If a player has a release clause, then NO club is gonna pay more than it whilst it is valid. A release clause makes a bidding war a non-starter, therefore the word minimum is redundant.
