No it’s still there. No idea who Duncan Castle is though and why would we even consider a ‘get out’ clause? 

 

Castles is probably the worst jorno. Whatever he says is pure 100% BS or is something everyone else already knows.

Duncan fucking Castles. Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in years since he was tricking fools into believing he had a clue.

What’s our old buddy Tancredi up to these days? He was one of the original fraud “insiders.”

Duncan Castles talks nonsense, he would tell you the sky is orange if you were looking at it and it was blue on a clear summers day.

Even that source guide tier thing, take it with a pinch of salt, if something is happening or going to happen, all sources will click on eventually. The tier system doesn’t  mean much when you consider they’ve all got shit horrifically wrong and continue to do so.

why does my content need to be approved by a moderator 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I guess it's related to this, us not being his first choice and the release clause might be real and make sense why there is a hold up in this deal.

Abramovich really wants Haaland this summer. Riaola is insisting on a set release clause fee if Haaland were to join Chelsea as its not Haaland or Haaland representatives first choice club.

Maria Graniskiova under major pressure from Abramovich to make this happen this summer.

Riola happy to move him obviously £££ for him, but only spending a few seasons at Chelsea before moving him on again.

Source: Todays Transfer Window Podcast

As alluded to above, WTH would we even agree to putting a release clause in the contract?

If he and/or Raiola wants to have such clause just so he can bail on us at any moment, then it's probably better we look elsewhere.

Also, all this talk of agreeing a deal with the player immediately seems daft if nothing is agreed with the club yet, especially if Dortmund stick with their stance of not selling Haaland this summer.

why do these people (not the poster) keep confusing/conflating EUROS WITH POUNDS??????

it is NOT £160m that he said

it is €160m

ffs

that is £137m

a massive difference

£23m is more than we will get at one time for most of our dregs up for sale (ie. per dreg, lol)

and they (the two people in the vid) made an error themselves with shit maths

its €150m that is double the release clause (if it is €75m as they claim), not €160m

that is only £128m

as long as there is not a crazy '2 or 3 years and he can go for what you paid plus a little tiny profit' bullshit (and there might be one)

£128m is a fucking steal for Håland (as long as there is no other huge funny money shit involved (which again, there might be)

Inclined to agree. It's just a useful reference of sorts especially when you see a source claim this and that first before others.

Crazy how the media casually forget psg and barca transfer fees in recent years, making it seem like the £137m is impossible, sigh.

[calculatingInfinity 1,472]

If Haaland wants to come to Chelsea, the club should do whatever it takes. Pure class and would be one of the best, if not the best, forward in the league from day one.

and Eden going to RM (with huge add-ons that end up with us getting around £140m) and João Félix to AM

all of these were over that or damn close (with add-ons in some cases, so I guess we would have to know the add-ons), all are well over £100m

 

(CR7 to Juve was too, but he was £105m with little add-ons I think)

Pogba must be close to £100m now, with inflation (as it was 5 years ago)

so the over £100m club (with no inflation) has 8 members

IF Mbappe and Håland both move this summer, it will have 9 members, and 10 transfers (Mbappe twice)

 

Mbappe

Neymar

Eden

Countinho

Dembele

Griezmann

João Félix

CR7

 

150m euros (the figure I have seen the most that was quoted as Dortmund's supposed price for Håland this summer) is £129m

€150m makes sense as that is double his (again, supposed) release clause of 75m euros next summer

Let’s say we got Haaland, what formation do we play? Rules: Havertz must play.

Is Haaland that good? I have not watched much of Bundesliga, given our success with ST signings hard for me to be overjoyed or be interested in if we will sign him or not.

He is over hyped, however his stats stand up and he is potentially a player that could solve your CF issues for 10-15 years. 

The latter part is primarily why he is going to go for mega bucks.

Doubt Haaland could solve our ST issues for 10-15 years as he won't stay for that long. I give him max 5-6 years with us before moving to either Barca or Madrid.

6 years (age 21 to age 26, he turns 27 in the middle of the summer after his 6th season if he comes now) as our CF would be a dream

let him go to Real at 27, they would get 3 seasons of sub 30yo play out of him, versus our 6

deal
