You could say the same of Barry who went for £12m, some clubs just think a player is worth paying out to get them early. Didn't Citeh pay £17m or something for De Jong when he was in the last 6-18 months of his contract?
I thought the rule was that if you buy out you contract with one year left you have to play in a different country? no?

I read that on a forum once too, don't know how true it is. But with De Jong he was in a different country..................
If you know the regulations on frequency of movement and also on buying out contracts, could you post it in a (new) thread please? I think it would be interesting, I'm sure others would find it that too. Certainly the relevant aspects like when you can buy out your contract.
I can't start new threads until I'm back to my old self

I am in the same boat. It sort of makes enough sense to believe it, but seems strange as well so I have no idea. You would think it would happen all the time if it were true, no? I do remember City getting laughed at for their bid for De Jong so I don't know if that is a good example

I've heard that perez now wants to trade robben for xabi and if that fails , trade heinze and pay 18 million . I'd keep xabi if we can sign both players above . What a team we will have next season .
Reina
Johnsen Agger Carragher Aurelio
Kuyt Masch Alonso Gerrard
Eto Torres
The team is still deperately crying out for wingers and stevie on the left as no matter where you put him , he will perform
what happened to riera?
Reina
Johnsen Carragher Agger Aurelio/Insua
Kuyt Gerrard Alonso Riera
Eto Torres
Looks good to me and more balanced...

Would never happen dude, for one we would not sell to United and Torres would not go there, if the yanks accepted a huge bid from United I think Rafa would walk! It's just paper talk cos our debts have been a talking point this week and United have come into a lot of cash so it's inevitable that the sunday papers would publish this kinda cr@p

We must not sell Torres at all cost. And i don't think Rafa would ever do such a deal.
