[Albion] Tino Livramento

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

That's a shame.

Everyone was going made for this singing last week. Now Newcastle are in for him, he's not good enough, injury prone, never going to be the same player etc...

Not sure anyone has said that on this thread? If you're talking about Twitter then yeah, it's Twitter, and filled with absolute goons.

The Athletic report that Chelsea have a pretty hefty sell-on clause in addition to the by back option.

The buy back is £50m but with the sell-on clause it would net out around £35m for Chelsea to sign him. I think that rules them out.

Southampton are looking for a fee around that £50m mark so that after the sell-on, they would make around £25m-30m.

Newcastle aren't willing to spend that much and have offered £23m.

Seems like this is a complicated transfer and I can't see anyone paying anything near what Saints want.

Hopefully Colwill has the same feelings about his chances….

Mauricio Pochettino has been left disappointed after a former Chelsea ace opted against a return there, instead deciding on a transfer to Newcastle.

Surprised by this. Azpilicueta just left and Reece James injury record is horrendous. I’d have thought he might choose Chelsea, especially as Newcastle have Trippier who pretty much guarantees a 8/10 every week and is ever present

Is Poch fuming or just disappointed? And which is worse?

Yeah "fuming" I assume is just headline writers trying to make drama for clicks.

I doubt he's taking it personally.

I think the whole thing sounds like rubbish and can’t imagine Chelsea being in for him but who knows…

Also if it’s a buy back and they did it, the player doesn’t have a choice..!

They can't force him to sign a contract if he doesn't want to. That would be illegal.

Not sure how buy backs work but surely it would be breaking the contract if he didn’t go back? I guess that would become a legal matter with the clubs as you’re right you can’t force a player to move back thinking about it…

If the player agreed to the buy back clause to help facilitate the original move then they’d have to join.

However if it was only agreed between the two clubs of course the player has a choice. There is no way a player can be forced to join a club against their will even if said club have a buy back agreement. It goes against employment and human rights laws.

Not sure either - I think there are variations on a theme - but Chelsea have an agreement with Southampton, not with Livramento.

According to Leeds fans we did with Ben White.

That's not how buy backs work. The agreement is between the clubs. The player can't be forced to sign a contract.

I learnt this the hard way playing FM 2012 where I knew I was going to lose my star player. So I quickly added another manager taking charge of a Bayern, had them buy the player for well over the odds with a buy back for much less. Waited a bit and tried to get my star back. He wanted no part of it. I tried again every transfer window. Not interested

My favourite scam that actually worked in FM was this year.

Playing as Willem II I had Lorenzo Lucca and was rejecting bids of £20m for him but he had a £6.5m release clause for clubs in the Champions League which Ajax triggered. Since it was a release clause I had no say in the matter, so instead starting offering him out for free to everyone hoping he'd accept their contract offer over Ajax.

Ended up agreeing a deal with Palace so I delayed the transfer all the way up until transfer deadline day and then cancelled the transfer.

I keep my striker, Palace get f***ed over. Win win in my books.

"Buy back" just sets the price were he to agree to be bought back. He can decided to stay or he can agree to a transfer to a third club.

Looks like Newcastle deal is all but done for c£40m.

Chelsea will get a decent sized kick-back from a sell-on clause they had - a few more pennies into their Caicedo piggy bank.

 

[Hiheidi]

Chelsea get £14.4 million apparently

Just the £5.6m to find now

Don’t think I’d want him for that. Wish we’d got him for the £5m or whatever SCC paid. Still, as the saying goes with the Albion these days: ‘Win lots, lose some.’
