Nooooooo! Arsenal and Newcastle apparently in for Tosin already...and he allegedly has a resonable buy-out clause in the contract...
Really hope this is just papertalk
:012: :031: :dft004: :Get Coat gif:
This is terrible news - a buy-out clause isn't even a release clause where we get £10m+ or whatever for the buying club. It means he can pay some money to us to walk away as a free agent and sign for someone else for nothing.
This seems a bit typical of the club at the moment, where a good deal has a punishing kicker. Similar to last season when we had these loan-to-buys that Tony was touting as mitigating the risk of investment; failing to mention that they all had obligations to buy if they reached a certain number of appearances in the season. That's how we were landed with Knockaert, and we'd probably have been forced to buy Arter if he hadn't missed games through injury.

That is the way that release clauses work in Spain. Usually the buying club pays the player to buy out his own contract.
It all depends on the fee in the contract. Neymar cost £200 million and he had a buyout clause.
Lots of clubs will be looking at him. Hopefully they are priced out of a move and he doesn't rock the boat.
Given we paid £15m for Mawson I'd want double that for him but we'd never get that price.
Can someone explain please, what is a; responsible buy-out clause?
Tosin off?

Naughty! Very good
There are enough w*^>ers at the club but he isn't one of them
If he has a low buy out clause then it's a complete failure.
It's ok, Tony will loan in an injury prone replacement when the window closes.
Get ready for all the relegation clauses on everyone's contracts
That's the one clause TK won't have mucked up - he'll be telling his Dad how he has reduced the wage bill for next year and everyone will be delighted
He must be licking his lips at all the resale values - Tete will be next....he's a Dutch international for goodness sake - won't want to be playing at Luton and Peterborough will he ?
We are not very good at contracts/transfers are we.

The player had never played a full season in the PL before we gave him the chance, he should stay with us. If we let him go for less than £15-20m it will be embarrassing. If we can't keep the core of this team (Rodak, Tete, Tosin, Robinson, Reed) then we will probably finish mid-table next season. Failure of management of this is what happens.
You can't chop and change the team and expect success, anyone in football knows that, and if we haven't learned that by now then it will be a very very tough uphill battle.
Considering how cheap he was, even if we do lose him, you couldn't say it was bad business...
Clearly hope he stays though - captain material for us, I reckon
We need to keep players of premier league standard, and Tosin is one of the few. It will be doubly difficult to challenge if we lose players like him. We will already have to replace Andersen and there's no way we can rely on Kongolo, and even if fit, Mawson does not look good enough. Hector may be good enough in the Championship, but will need to improve for the Premier.
I could be wrong but I thought that Man City had put a 20% sell on clause for Tosin which partly explains the low fee.

Ah, I think I've just twigged it. Responsible is an autocorrect of relegation?
listening to the radio last match tosin had a poor game

He's not the finished article by a long way, gives the ball away in dangerous areas on a few occasions, and so can't see a top team in for him at the moment. If the lad has any sense he should stay and develop with us!
