Berbs staying was part of the Modric deal

[karennina]

I just hope the club don't stop at one more truly top quality midfield signing. Our current midfield plus Modric plus one other still leaves us behind any of the top four, IMHO.

Dan, I think you're a genuine fella. Thanks for that.

this doesnt look good for berbatov staying next season

I was told before the game today that part of the agreement made with Modric was that Berbatov would be playing here next season.

This obviously cannot be contractual, but is it extremely encouraging and IMO is nearly as good news as the transfer itself.

Yeah!

Mate! That is well brown!

Trashbat dot cock.

Don't know how much more cash spurs got, but if they do here's what I want to see.A DM, a good goalkeeper, a cheap deal for Ronaldinho and a new contract that will keep Berbs:razz:

 

[Bill_Oddie]

Wonderful news. Lets hope it works out that way. Thanks for passing that on Dan. :up:

 

[bogosian]

doesn't make sense. if he hadn't signed he would've joined citeh or the barcodes. :shrug:

How can that possibly be workable?


nonsense. doesnt make sense. Part of the agreement, but not part of the contract.

Also, why would another player be part of another players transfer?

 

[PYiddy]

Well when he signed a 4+2 year contract he waived that right, albeit it'd be better if he does.

name one player who has expressed an interest to leave a club, that has been made to stay? not just at our place, but at ANY club.

A verbal assurance. Modric wanted to make sure we wouldn't be selling any of the family silver and we guaranteed him that.

 

[hybridsoldier]

Yeah but Lverpool is Gerrard's home town club and they had just won the CL the year before, and Lpool could still pay Gerrard fantastic wages.

ON all those points we don't have.

I thnk the Aston Villa director said it best today about Barry - We'd love to keep him, but the player has to want to stay here. If not, thank you very much and goodbye!

Steven Gerrard

i think you will find he changed his mind. Yhere was a disagreement between him and rick parry, he agreed to join chelsea, they sorted it out, he stayed. he wasnt made to stay by liverpool and he never really wanted to leave.

Its not possible to guarentee something that is not in your control.

 

[nicdic]

He's under contract to us, there is no minimum release clause, so yes, it is in the clubs control.

 

[PYiddy]

if he wants to go, he'll go. it happens every single time. This time will be no different. The club would be stupid to make him stay if he asks/wants to leave.
Would be madness to let him "rot in the reserves" and decrease in value.

The only way he will stay is if he decides he wants to. aint up 2 us or his agent.

The only thing the club is in control of, is what we sell him for. we can ask for big money cos he is in contract

 

[nicdic]

If no club meets our valuation he won't go. Even if Berbatov wanted to play he'd continue to play, as to make sure the big teams stayed interested.

 

[Dan Ashcroft]

Maybe they can give that assurance because Berbatov's told them he's not interested in any move?

This is the same media farce that happened with him every summer for 5 years at Leverkusen; and happened with Henry at Arsenal every window too.
