BBC Gossip says for a rumoured £40m. Does anyone know if we have a sell-on?

"Chelsea striker Liam Delap is a potential summer target for Newcastle with a fee of about £40m suggested for the 23-year-old Englishman."

MA said that the club was ‘well protected’ despite the £30M release clause. So maybe he meant in terms of future sell-ons.

Regardless, considering the rather poor and injury dominated season he’s had - Chelsea making a £10M profit is rather staggering.

I don't but if we do, a sale in that region would earn us between £1m and £2.5m. Helpful but not life-changing. Him leaving via his release clause makes it less likely than if we'd negotiated terms with Chelsea, I can confidently say that.

I think we do. Seem to recall we allowed Chelsea to pay in more than one installment on the proviso we had a sell on.

Surprised he never went to somewhere like there or Everton as his move to begin with. Less pressure, more playing time etc

He had a real chance to push for a world cup place this year too, so such a waste for him.

We would also have to give Man City their cut.

Newcastle a strange option- they brought in Woltemade and Wissa in last summer and already had Osula on the sidelines as well as having Gordon playing there

To my knowledge it's unusual for sell-on clauses to apply to all future sales, in perpetuity as it were. Think they tend to be one-and-done, with the club you did business with.

No chance we’d have let him go without a sell on.

If we go up, a return here on the cards?

...... although none of them are the traditional centre-forward that everyone seems to crave at least, until they have one. And then not always regularly utilised, in the Prem anyway.

Definitely be a better move than the basket case that is Chelsea.

Be good if we could go in for him if we went up but 40m might be a push!

Not sure on that. I think they apply to any profit made by the club they originally sold the player to, so if we get another £2m of pure profit from the sell on then it's likely a chunk will be due to City.

We had no choice as soon as Chelsea triggered the release clause and Delap wanted to go. If we have managed to have a sell-on clause included, then that's fantastic negotiation from MA and his team.

At that price, any sell on would only be worth c.£2m.

He scored 6 goals in his first 11 matches, then 6 in his last 26 matches.

He was good, but I think his reputation is based on his initial impact (4 month spell), which then petered out a little.

That’s where he should have gone in the first place.

Always felt Everton and Moyes style would have been the perfect move for him.

Howe would be a good manager for him though, he does seem to care about his players and developing them properly.
