BEN stuff...

[Bizness]

Doesn't look like it's been on here yet.

Basically says we're well after Cuellar and Capel.

 

[al_pacino]

The Cuellar stuff has been about for a little while and in the very little I've seen of him he's looked very solid.

 

[Manwhore]

I could of said that, as it's all over the papers about us going after Cuellar and going after Capel is nothing new. :roll:

 

[Dan Ashcroft]

Cuellar would seem a natural replacement for Dawson as Woodgate's back-up (assuming Kaboul is King's, even though Ramos seems to prefer Woodgate and Dawson together). Not sure he's any better than Dawson though tbh.

 

[Oscar22]

I thought Ben had already said we were after Capel?. Or was that just all the other ITK's?

 

[nickspurs]

As has been repeated ad nauseum by many; Capel is good, has a reasonable buy-out clause but there is no way Sevilla will deal with us. Technically they are obliged to but in practice they can make it impossible.

 

[DC_Boy]

would love Cuellar - from what I've seen - top class

we won't get Capel or any Seville player- have been confidnetly predicting this for months -still say the same -their chairman won't allow it - and yes I know about the release clause

How can Sevilla do this?

If we match the release clause of one of their players, then as a matter of European law we have permission to speak to the player and his representatives. If we can agree personal terms with the player, and he then passes a medical, he is our player.

Sevilla cannot interfere with this legal process.

 

[worcestersauce]

Would that be Cuellar from Rangers? Only seen him once and that was last week against Fiorentina, he can't really be that good every week though can he?

That's what I was thinking. As long as we matched the release clause, what can Sevilla do to stop us?

Dragging their heels, not responding to faxes/emails, not being available for conf calls/meetings, "misunderstandings" in correspondence.... while in the meantime hawking him around to every other club in the market and probably badmouthing Spurs to the player/agent.

Yes, legally they must, practically it's a different matter. If they so desire they can waste plenty of DL and DC's time with the above tactics - to the point that it's not worth the effort. They'll probably signal their planned approach to us as well and save everyone the time.

 

[Mattspur]

Would be very supprised.

"I have a contract for three years. I want to stay at Rangers for life," he said.

Didn't Hutton say that too?

I'm sure Levy could prevent or at least reduce most of that happening though.

With respect, nickspurs, once we've triggered the release clause, we deal directly with the player and his representatives. Sevilla Chairman Del Nido would be left fuming all the way to the bank...

Release fees are as legally binding as Bosmans. Did we want Judas to go to the Scum? No. Could we stop that deal? No.

A few years ago, Real Madrid triggered Figo's release clause at Barca. Barca were furious, but couldn't stop the transfer. All that happened was that Figo got a pig's head chucked at him when he played at Barca in a white Real Madrid shirt, and was called a pesetero (roughly "money whore").

If we trigger the release clause of Capel the only questions are:
- does he want to come to us?
- will we pay him enough?
- will he pass a medical?

Del Nido can swivel.

:dance:

Well, that's if we actually want him, and for how much his release clause is.

 

[PT]

Yep. We aren't going to go flying in with the company cheque all guns firing at a release clause that is made up in the President's bath as he counts the bubbles attracted to his helmet.

If the release clause is do-able then maybe...

 

[liamc23]

I thought the problem with Capel is that he's got some sort of mental problem where he can barely leave Seville for long.

again well said Nick if Seville's president doesn't want to sell he'll find a way round it -

HI yanno I take your points - but I've just got a feeling on this one - obviously may be wrong - but just can't see any seville players heading our way this summer
