I've no issue with getting rid, I understand our situation. I do wonder though that if a PL club thinks a player is worth buying, whether we couldn't negotiate better add-ons. I know that can be sometimes at the cost of the payment up front and we needed the money but would £1.5m plus £500k if he plays x number of times, £500k if he plays in Europe and £500k if he plays for England be that big a burden to Everton? They'd still have only paid £3m for a player worth ten times that, at least.

That said, it's probably irrelevant but if Everton think he's good enough to be making appearances, £1.4m does seem a little low.

For me though Bush i see it a little differently although what you say is perfectly correct.
I take the view that if we can use £1.4m right now on a couple of players to get us out this league then i would take it.
Even if said player was worth more.
Yes, i agree that if we have no sell on clauses extra then that is not good enough and someone is not doing their job properly.

I would rather get £1.4m and promotion than lose the sale due to us asking too much and missing promotion.

No, I get that. It's not really a criticism and if it were, it would be aimed more at the owners than anyone. I've rarely, if ever, criticised our sales or the fees we've received but in this case, I hope we've covered ourselves in the event that he does make it.
