I’d still do the deal but we’ll go round in circles, mate. Leave it there.

Yeah sorry, was probably a bit rude there. I just find the mental gymnastics people do to spin anything in to a negative based on very little info, mental. Maybe im just getting old though. As I say, apologies for being rude, mate.

Not sure many will have mate because it's made up bollocks as i said above: So a hypothetical about a hypothetical about a hypothetical? got ya. 'we could miss out on £60m (figure plucked from nowhere), if the buy back is £45m (figure plucked from nowhere) if the clause (that we don't even know is true) is activated (which it may well not be). And the comparison for that is a made up figure on Isak of £70m and would I have been happy with it. Great chat!

But he didn't, so what is the point in asking that? You came up with this £45m clause thing, where did you get that figure from? And if that is true, would you do the deal, or not? I would. You?

yep

Go on, how? Why would it be a £15m total fee now? In fact, don't bother. the whole thing is hypothetical and utterly pointless. I replied to someone saying £45m clause and now utterly regret it

Save yourself mate, delete this post. you'll go round in circles.

Are you all there? If (and it is an if) we can only sign him with a clause, sign him, it is still a win if this hypothetical situation came up. You apparently think the same. We agree. Every man and his dog would rather do the deal without a clause, who wouldn't? That goes without saying. But it doesn't appear to be the case, does it?

God only knows, the whole thing is hypothetical, i replied to someone who said £45m clause, you replied to me. Think that's it!

Neither would anybody, man! You're stating the obvious!

Fair enough, i'd still do the deal as the £15m profit and a good player for a year would still be a plus, but all about opinions!

Hang on, you have already said you'd sign him with the clause, so again, what on earth are you talking about?
