I think Ange has a formation in his head and is going to stick to it, regardless of what happens.

It depends whether the release fee clause specifies payment in one lump sum.
For instance, just last week, it was alleged that the chavs are willing to pay more than Olise's reelase fee in exchange for a more favourable payment schedule over time.
Apparently they did the same with Jackson & Villarreal.

Chelsea 'submit £39m bid for Crystal Palace star Michael Olise' - MORE than his £35m release clause - in a bid to beat Manchester City to his signature
Mail Sport understands that Olise has a £35m buyout clause in his Selhurst Park contract.Mauricio Pochettino's side have offered figures in excess of release clauses before - as they did with Villarreal to sign Nicolas Jackson - in a bid to secure a a more favourable payment plan.
Chelsea 'submit £39m bid for Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise
I'd be over the moon if we just signed Gvardiol.
Bale was a record and won Real x2 CLs.
Haaland cost City way over 100m including agent fees and hidden costs
Ronaldo was great for Juve
Van Dijk won everything with Liverpool
Suarez was great for Barca
Lukaku first move to Inter was titles
Alisson for Liverpool
Laporte is a very good, highly experienced, LCB, and could be a good influence on Romero.
My concern would be his injury history.
There is only one ex Spurs footballer I hate more than Danny “can I piss on your chips” Murphy and that’s fat fuck dick head simpleton Jason Cunty - Sol Campbell has nothing on that man
Still wouldn't push them ahead of City..... If City meet the clause and the player agrees; he's city-bound regardless.
that’s not meeting the release clause though. It’s the selling club accepting alternate terms.
If a 2nd team paid the release clause, palace would not be able to choose Chelsea’s 39m bid instead of whichever team met the release clause.
But it’s a good point that a buying team could pay more than the release clause if the terms were long term and favorable; this is usually very unlikely but could be possible if the buying club has little FFP wiggle room and needs to pay over a longer period. (But typically the seller would just say FU, I want to keep my player, so it would have to be a large overpay).
The original discussion was if 2 teams pay the release clause, does it turn into a bidding war and a transfer fee above the release clause? The answer to that is no.

LOL - Too much.
Lo Celso just plane lazy previously - only completed 90 mins in 7 PL matches in his first 2.5 seasons , and whilst I fully understand Mourhino and Conte style of play don't suit him, that's an atrocious record. Not to mention his going to Argentina for every call up when assessed as being too injured to play for Spurs, then coming back to go to medical centre on his reyurn
Add Ndombele to your list as a creative player.
But neither fit for purpose, which is why we needed to buy one.
NB. You are the only person to call Levy a spend thrift - spending £40m to buy an AM (Maddison) when we had already got two !
We sold Walker to them. A world record for a defender at the time, but within about 2 years the £50m for Walker looked to be peanuts.
Only bad blood caused by us trying to get Sancho in part payment - we offered more than the £11m they sold him to Dortmund for - but they didn't want to sell to another PL club.
Sure you are not confusing Chelsea and Mancity re bad blood ?
Palace would not choose to sell Olise for £35 million. His market value is more than that now.
So, at some level, the chavs would have to be meeting the release clause but then offering a few million more to alter the terms of the payment schedule. As allegedly they did with Jackson.
I agree that if a buying club offered to meet the release clause in full, meeting all terms such as one lump sum payment, then the selling club has to accept the bid.
The player has agency too. If more than one club trigger the clause, he can choose where he wants to go.
Fuck me, Gil, Sanchez and Sissoko all in the top 10 - mamma mia
Levy was the leader of the group of clubs pushing for them to get investigated financially.
Pep talks about Levy every other press conference.
They fucked about with Kane.
They are fucking with us over Munn.
It's ugly.
You and I both could make a twice as long list of big money flops.
good points
Sure but the price wasn't the reason any signing flopped or not.
Would I like to see Spurs going after the Gvardiol's and Rice's of this football world?
Yes, I would.
Any Spurs fan saying no isn't being honest with themselves
Most of our current 'problem' players who we really want shot of our on that list.
Ouch ! Just emphasises the size of the current problems
Yeah, sickening all of those times he just walked off the pitch of his own accord and the manager was forced to quickly chuck someone on to make up the numbers...
