Keep seeing people saying EH is going to be cheap next Summer. I'd wager he most certainly won't be. I mean yeah he has a release clause making his transfer fee relatively low, but I'd wager a kidney that everything else involved will be extortionately high. When you have all the top spending clubs in the world interested and your agent is Raiola you can bet it's still going to be a bidding war. Only difference is all the money will be going to the player and the agent but the deal is still going to cost someone close to 200 mil imo.
By "cheap" I only mean "slightly less ridiculously expensive than a player of his quality would normally be".

I'm sure the agent fee and Haaland's signing-on fee will each be a huge nine-figure sum, with sickeningly high wages. So if Haaland's fee is £75m (+ sign-on & fees) and without the clause he would have cost £150m (+ sign-on & fees), that makes him £75m cheaper...even though he would cost far more than £75m.

Or do you think the huge sign-on and agent fee will be disproportionately high because of the "low" basic transfer fee?

Yeah sounds like that deadline of the 23rd was right. City made one last offer, Levy rejected it. Harry knew (Levy told him) that if they hadn't met the asking price by then, the deal was dead as we wouldn't have time to find replacements anyway.

Kane then starts repairing his image.
THIS!!

Quite funny reading through the blue moon comments. Quite a few of their posters blaming Kane for not "forcing the move enough", or "didnt agitate properly". What world do these clowns live in?

From an Arse forum after H’s tweet

Sp**s training ground is now basically Kane’s Guantanamo Bay.

What's everbody's guess for what just happened?
I'm going with, a deal in principle has been agreed with Citeh for a future window, but it's dependent on us signing our preferred replacement.

They didn't offer the amount we wanted and the deadline passed.

Could you show your working on that theory?

What this should do…. And I’m dreaming here is push Levy and Para to now bring in quality around him so we can push on and not just hope for another measly 7th place this season..

When you have a release clause like that which multiple clubs would hit do they end up bidding against eachother and the transfer fee going up or does the release fee stat the same and they bid via contract offers?
