Delap clause from the Citeh end 22:13 - Nov 11 with 15239 viewsMullet



Not sure what this does for us in the summer when we sell him

One thing ashton knows and that's making the most out of transfers. With him talking of loads of zeros to even sell delap you'd imagine the buyback will be at least triple the purchase fee minimum.

It means they get 20% off the fee they pay us.

It will still be the club making 4x what we bought him for, though!

If Delap scores the goals that keep us up he'll have been worth £100m to us even if we only get £30m in fees when he leaves us

I don't think we have any choice with a buyback clause. If City wanted him, and he wanted to go, he's gone. I assume they get 20% off the buyback figure as well.

i thought the buyback clause was if we agreed to sell him, they can match the figure of the buying club (and obviously pay 20% less)?

Why would city put their buy back clause at 60-70 million?

They are going to want it to be a reasonable price for them, so it’s not cost restrictive for them.

see above, i was under the impression that the clause was they get to match the selling fee (and get a 20% discount), rather than a particular price (similar to the philogene/villa deal)?

He hadn't scored the goals in the summer. 😅 And buy-back = pre-agreed release clause more often than not, so our feelings would be irrelevant if it's one of those and Delap would have pre-agreed his return City salary, should they activate the clause. The buy-back clause wouldn't include a 20% discount though; it would be a set amount. The 20% would be a separate clause in the event we sell to a different team.

On Frimley's point, Ashton and McKenna did great work convincing him to join us rather than Southampton, as we both met City's transfer terms. It looks more likely to me that two promoted clubs were competing with each other for the services of an exciting young talent, who we hope will make a huge contribution to keeping us up, rather than us both holding the negotiating cards against City and engineering really preferable terms for ourselves.

City having that buy back if it’s set at a fixed fee is going to be attractive to them otherwise what’s the point in them having it?

It it’s a matching fee then fine, they have to match any fee offered then it’s different. Philogene albeit in the summer was only 18 million if I recall correctly, so it was attractive to Villa to bring him back.

Solanke went for 65 million in the summer and he’s played in the prem for 4 or 5 years with one good scoring season, so I think the 35-40 million range for City to buy him back is probably not out of the realms of being realistic. If another club come in for him, then it might well be up at 50 or so million that they would have to go to.

He's not. He is saying the buyback clause has already likely set the price at that. (It's speculation but if they did manage to agree a buyback then it's unlikely to be crazy higher. Maybe £50 million tops).

It would be bad news for us but it might have been how we managed to get the deal done.

No, thats a matching clause. Not a buy back clause.

Thhink youre getting confused with the Philogene discussion.

City aren’t going to stick a 60 million pound fee buy back clause, there’s no value in that for them.

I might be wrong, can’t see it being at that level. If another club come in for him we might get 60 million.

No idea exactly what it is but let’s hope he does the business for the whole season to keep us up and then see what happens!

you may well be right, i'll wait until phil comes in with the details...

even with the worst case scenario (forced sell for 30m-odd in the summer), we'll have made a decent profit and get a better chance at staying up. effectively a loan where man city are paying us instead of vice versa!

I am right. No need to wait.

There may well be a specific window of time during which they can operate it.

City have a buy back clause, another club being interested doesnt change the fee they would pay. It will be a fixed price within the sales contract.

Exactly, Solanke is now 27 with one good goalscoring season at the point of sale. Delap is 22, if he meets similar numbers in his first season he is vastly more valuable.The buyback could be more about preventing him going elsewhere, as it tended to be in the past, .There were two clubs in this negotiation.
