Think a lot of the contracts we've signed have options. Amartey and Hamza were two and its widely reported that Maddison was another. Just not sure what the conditions of the extension are....eg- release clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camavinga, Tchoumeni and Valverde are the future of that midfield and they’ve got Modric, Kroos and Casemiro right now. Youri would be like CM7 for them…wow.

It’s believable, maybe the club have said they will let him go if an acceptable offer comes in but if the window closes and he’s still here then we will activate the extension to protect the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All manner of stuff could, in theory, go into a contract. So long as it's legal (you can't contract out of the law, as they say) and both parties agree then sure. I myself can't kinda see this one though. It'd be a curious clause (though perhaps no more curious than others I could imagine) and I couldn't see Youri going for it unless he had been very sure of another offer coming in. Let's put it this way, I don't think I'd commit myself on the back of an uncertainty like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 18 August 2022 Share Posted 18 August 2022 there were some discrepancies on the fee over the past few weeks some arsenal stuff last week reckoned we wanted £45m which couldn’t possibly be right - but if we have the option to extend before a deal is done then maybe it could be. Percy had reported months ago that we were looking for 25, possibly 30m. But he must have stuff written into any extension that protects him so who knows …… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which then backs up what we’ve heard recently from both arsenal and West Ham sources. we couldn’t possibly be asking for a far higher fee if he only has a standard year left ….. and it brings percy’s accuracy into question Edited 18 August 2022 by st albans fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there is something to this timed extension then. If we knew all along we could add a year to his contract if we kept hold of him until the window closed, it would at least make some sense to ask for a high price and get another year out of Youri. That said, it would leave us in the same position next year and with a player on the books for another year who we know wants to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 18 August 2022 Share Posted 18 August 2022 Really hope that if Youri stays, he is going to put in 100% this year, because we will need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM1968 Posted 18 August 2022 Share Posted 18 August 2022 If he puts in 100% he will still run at the speed of a 2 year old. Mind you, if he gets his passes of a bit snappier and looks to be progressive it might help. Spraying the ball to our wingers would be good…….hmm……. hang on.

Agreed, however if we’re going to sell him for £25m or keep him for two years (works out costing 12.5m a season in lost sales) then I’d keep him because £12.5m a season gets you a Danny Ward nowadays.

Sooper Steve's shin Posted 18 August 2022 Share Posted 18 August 2022 5 minutes ago, Scotch said: I think he will... Atleast until after the WC. The World Cup (and it's timing) this year should make quite a big difference. Both Tielemans and Fofana will know (and we have to accept) that they have a better chance of playing in it if they are with one of the traditional big teams. If they want the deals to happen, you'd think they should be able to exert pressure on the buying clubs and/or reduce their demands to make a deal happen. But if Arsenal/Chelsea don't make the right bids, it's not at all in the players' interests to down tools - particularly for Youri who might otherwise just wind down his final 12 months. They should be giving absolutely everything for us to get that World Cup spot and then we can all re-evaluate in January. If they perform for us and have a decent tournament, we could cash in at a higher price when they'd probably have a better pick of teams. It perhaps explains why we are holding out (apparently against what both players want and risking them becoming unhappy) when a sale of one or both for, say, a combined £90m would otherwise have gone a decent way towards kicking off a rebuild.

Mickyblueeyes Posted 18 August 2022 Share Posted 18 August 2022 Its interesting that a player which we consider to be so great is not seem as good elsewhere. Man United are desperate for players. Liverpool could do with a midfielder due to an injury crisis. Arsenal are building a decent team and a number 8 could further enhance them. Not one is willing to take a cut price Youri. I mean, especially in case of Liverpool, waiting around to save a million or two doesnt come into it if the player improves your squad. Perhaps his shortcomings really do hold him back.
