Whilst I agree and understand that this player wasn't all in.

Requesting a release clause shouldn't break the deal if others were to ask for it?

Penny dropped on pushing through players who are not 100% about joining us?

I'm definitely not opposed to that line of thinking if it is the case.

No issue with a relegation release clause, but surely that wasn’t what made wolves think ‘he doesn’t really want to come’ seems to have dragged on a lot if that was the initial thought process

Depends what the clause was though. A very low fixed fee for example that loses us money.

What we class as low i dont know though. Shi maths are odd at the best if times.

 

[BillyDee]

If a club whose clear aim is to finish just above the drop wanted to sign me, then I'd definitely be asking for a relegation clause.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Any player who Wolves were looking to sign would be mad to not at least think about a relegation release clause. It doesn't take a lot of research to find out that we have been, and continue to be, a club that is perilously close to the drop. And the circumstances that push us down the hole are not all that implausible.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

If we go down then we'll sell anything of any value anyway.

Link to the article where those quotes have come from. Not a whole lot of new info there but still an interesting read.

I like van Ewijk btw, I'd be happy if we ended up with him.

Good read, makes me slightly more optimistic that there's a plan...just execute it a little faster, guys

Release clause though stops us digging our heels in to an extent and demanding X or Y. A certain Mr Cunha springs to mind

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We're a club who let Rayan Ait-Nouri walk away for at least £10m below market value because reasons. If I were a player then I wouldn't worry about that.

Bit of club spin just cos we didn't sign them though, isn't it?

It's not like we turned them down? Sounds like we were still keen on both until it became clear it was in vain and they were set on another club?

 

[prawnking]

Good job we missed out.

Yeah, I never fancied her anyway

 

[Kenny]

Burnley were strongly linked with Sicknote Sammy but have signed Dubravka from Newcastle.

Might not have to worry about Bentley being the back up option...for approx 25% of next season.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Depends if SJ refuses to sit on the bench again.

He could be a man and try and fight for his place.

 

[basher]

Or remain a workshy cunt??

With what? Not his arms, clearly.

 

[Lycan]

He'll go on loan to a Championship club on deadline day.

I called this elsewhere and gave a list that was Norwich or Wrexham, but I would like to add Stoke to it now.

 

[prawnking]

Hobbs and GON truly shafted our GK cohort

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Here is your deadline day, missed out on main targets signing

The only thing I remember about him last season was his back pass that gifted Sunderland an 88th minute winner in the play off first leg
