Jagielka

[Muttley]

Just heard that Everton have rejected a £10Million bid for Jags from The Arse. If he is sold on, do we get a nice little earner from a sell on clause or will anything due to us disappear into the big black hole?

 

[Oreyt]

No sell on clause.

 

[VespaBlade]

But they also turned a £12mil bid last year so don't suppose Chris Moyles will be impressed til it at least matches that bid.

You would hope that there was a sell on clause but knowing our lot probably not!

 

[Bath Blade]

I don't think we had any bargaining position to negotiate a sell-on clause. Everton met the release fee in Jags' contract and that was the end of the story. The mistake, if there was one, was allowing the release fee clause, not, not having a sell-on clause.

Here comes another epic thread.....

If there had not been a release clause of £4m Jags would probably have not signed another contract shame really but thats football

 

[Grecian2000]

Are a "release clause" and a "sell-on clause" mutually exclusive then?

Oh if only it were possible to deal with those Pesky's without getting your pants ripped off and buggered . . .

What's it got to do with that fat fuck...?

 

[kelham blade]

Maybe we have a buy back clause.

£12m?

 

[Tidzablade]

I'd be happier if we had a Santa Claus!

 

[FirthParkBlade]

Hope Jags gets his big move. He deserves it. Shame he had to leave.

 

[sothall blade]

dont matter if there is a sell on clause,it would only go into KMs pocket and not invested in the team,lets forget about it and look forward to a long hard season

 

[Bladesway]

I had no problem with him leaving and I had no problem with the fee. It was all done in an effort to keep him at the club when offers were pinging in a season or so before if memory serves me. One of the few occasions the club did what it needed to so it could keep a top player.

(as a slight aside) Is 10 million quid not a bit of an insult? Jagielka has just signed a new contract and is obviously happy in Merseyside and hence is value is likely to be inflated if anything. Jags is one of the best defenders in the league (I would ony put Ferdinand, Vidic and Terry ahead of him) and is certainly the best available defender. Lescott went to Man City for almost double that and he is way way inferior to Jagielka. I think it would be an excellent (though long overdue) move for Wenger and Arsenal to sign Jags, but would be expecting much higher compensation (in the form of the transfer fee) for Everton.

I agree with Bladesway's comments. This was not poor management by United (for once). We were over a barrell and we did everything we could to keep Jags at the club. We took a risk and it back fired. If we had only drawn at home to Wigan on the final day then we would have never have bee talking about this. It made absolute sense for Jags to ask for a relegation contract clause and we were in absolutely no position to negotiate the fee and sell on terms etc.

All this crap about how we get money selling clause from jags or from other player compensation from Wet Spam maybe it’s time for the club to start winning things and earning money through playing football. Not sitting in court or at a green table.

I'd rather see jags at the back instead of terry or ferdinand.

Back on the subject of the thread, apparently there is no sell on clause this was discussed a few weeks back.

 

[Bladesway]

Jags for me is the best English Centre Half without exception. Better than Mr Badboy Rio and far, far superior to the overrated aircraft carrier that is JT. Jags has more pace, is at least as good in the air and is better with his feet than both the above. He doesn't usually spend half a season on the treatment table either. JT is a good last ditch tackler because his positional sense is awful so he has to be. Rio is prone to switching off and dreaming of his next Gangsta flick usually once a game.

Oh and he is younger than both.

Imagine a back 4 of Naughton, Jags, Morgs, Walker with Paddy in net. It could and would have been possible.

If Only. Well I Can Dream I Suppose

We could also have had Cahill if we could have found the money!
