CONFIRMED Iliman Ndiaye to Marseille

[T-Blade]

Oh no

 

[Bladesman]

You know nothing is simple.

Be it a signing, or a contract renewal, the blades will do their best to spread it over 4 weeks plus

We will probably back down on the release clause.

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Oh no

Fantastic

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Oh no

Seems like we've shot ourselves in the foot when negotiating.
Surely we should have just conceded significantly on the release clause?

Nixon and yourself seem to know the most about the inner goings-on, so I take it he's now off?

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Oh no

Game over isn’t it?

 

[Bladesman]

Not sure we are in situation where we can play hard ball.

 

[Rocket Man]

We are hardball negotiatiors on everything. Some positives to it. But the negatives are obviously situations like this + long drawn out incoming signings, missing out on decent targets that go onto teams like Villa. Should have broken the rules for iliman. Ask for 100m if we want initially bit negotiate close enough yo what makes him happy. Idiots

 

[T-Blade]

It’s not looking good if I’m honest and also the fact that Marseille have now decided to get serious.

Spending some money then. They have landed Sarr.

Yea. I kinda worked that bit out havingread Nixon post. Seems you read it and think the same.
Amazing.

Is it really a case of us playing hard ball on the release clause?

 

[dazzlingblade]

Sounds like he's off, wonder if the bid for the Georgian kid is true then and this is where the funds are coming from

Aye but Marseille want him as well.

 

[Harry's Game]

All eyes on tonights teamsheet again

Sunstroke incoming

 

[dazzlingblade]

Thought it was Lyon from what I've heard over here

Can we not pay using Klarna?

[FriethBlade]

Would Marseille really sign Aubameyang, Sarr and Ndiaye? Seems like a scatter
gun approach

Or they are putting him off signing a new deal in the hope of snapping him up for free.

 

[Rocket Man]

Iliman wants the three year deal. He wants to stay in England and he is happy. The negotiation around the release fee has been ongoing for almost 10 days now since Iliman advised he would sign a new contract with us.

This could just be Ilimans agent leaking his hand on one last occasion to get us to budge our release clause down by say 5m.

Iliman probably not even involved in any of this.

I think he plays tonight THEN Nicko does a reverse statement tonight advising '11th hour United compromise seals contracts turnaround'

Everyone happy, United a touch worse off on the deal than they wanted, agent and Iliman a touch more happier. Nicko probably a touch richer too.

That's how Nixon tends to do it. He will spin it either way.

 

[Rocket Man]

My close contract to Iliman had no update this morning and would likely tell me in advance of any Nicko leak. I'm calling Bull. Agent x Nicko Bull.

 

[T-Blade]

How low would you want the release clause to be and I’m not talking for the one if we get relegated? I think his agent and advisors are taking the piss a bit with what they want. That’s not the only factor constant persistence from Marseille aswell is playing a factor obviously.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Unfortunately the power is with the player and his agent and they are not going to want to lock in a high release clause as they could get that money next season in their own pockets if someone comes in for him

It's annoying we aren't budging though. Give the bloke what he wants.

If the release clause is above £17m which we're looking at getting right now then surely its an educated risk. If we were to get him to sign new terms with a release fee of £25m and he only stays until January then its more than we're getting right now and we've had half a season to asses if we've got any hope of survival.

Seems daft to hold out for £35m release clause right now if the Ndiaye is unwilling. We're not in the driving seat and he's our best player.

I'm sure its nowhere near as easy as I'm suggesting though.

I think any lower than £25m if we stay up is taking the piss, and that's cheap. Relegation £10-15m - we'll need him off the wage bill anyway

I hope your’e right because I’m hearing the opposite

I'd be pushing for no release clause if we stay up. He can go for anyones money if he does well this season.
