Apparently they have their own financial deadlines to hit. The release clause is just for them if they don't want to sell the player. In this case they knew they were never getting anyone to pay 85m and needed to sell before it expired

So 95m on Tel, Takai and Kudus.
40-50m on a shit hot 6 and 25-30 on a LCB/LB and we are cooking.
165 out less anything we can muster up for Biss, Gil, Davies et al.
Easy this transfer lark.

Wanky shits are nightmare-fuel.I bet you didn’t know whether you were coming or going!
Yeah I know, I was just kidding Shady
Are we just naming players we know will never come here?
Is it a fun game?
Haaland, Salah, Palmer, Rodrygo, Ekitike!
Absolutely. No way we sign Kudus if West Ham aren't in the shit financially. Textbook Levy transfer strategy.
So it is your benign expectations that are suffering.
Always a caveat. Maybe you and John might enjoy things if you didn't attempt to find an excuse to criticise.
I know it's not fashionable to say around here but I don't actually think a double pivot with our existing options of Sarr/Bergvall/Bentancur/Bissouma is a particularly bad set of midfielders to choose from in a traditional double pivot setup.
As you say, none of them could handle the 6 in an Ange system but even Rodri would struggle in that shit show.
Eze is 27 and may be past his best already. He is definitely not as quick as he once was. Have no problem with Kudus over Eze.
2-3 years ago I was on the Eze train, but its left the station.
Yeah but they have Macron, revolutions, ghettos and many other downsides.
Fuck em.
It's done barring a problem with the physical.
Are we all done this evening now Levy has finally opened his wallet?
Worth noting with Eze that he has missed large parts of the past few seasons through injury too
Wissa and a CM would make this a good window
Id like oshimen but if unattainable i do rate lookman. Hes been good at atalanta. Serie A is notorious for defending so lookman has done well there.
He seems to be a player that likes playing big games as well based on comments on reddit. We've lacked that in attack for a bit.
Yeah this is becoming increasingly clear.
