Yeh, at one point it was reported that they wanted a 50% sell-on which is ludicrous!
Also, inserting a CL qualification clause for a club already in the CL is bogus too.
Read something similar somewhere. Something like a 50% sell on clause. Stupid. If that’s the case, this one could either drag on until late in the window-or not get done
No one reported a 50% sell-on clause. I just brought it up in a post as a far-fetched example of a ridiculous add-on.I don't even think it's the "couple of million quid" that's the issue. From reports it seems like the add-ons that Boro want are just ridiculous. I don't know what they are, but if it's something along the lines of a 50% sell-on clause of the nominal fee of a future transfer (as I said, ridiculous), then yeah, I would be haggling over that. Because that could be double-digit millions, not just a couple.
