There’s no way you can find out.

I don’t get it at this point. Macron have released kits all around the world, ours isn’t out. Umbro did the same. What is it about Rovers that means that no matter the provider, we don’t have a kit to unveil until weeks after every else? Ultimately, I’m not too fussed. But it’s so intriguing.

Because Ben’s been told so. I can’t see it coming to anything myself.

It’s not lazy journalism - Bielsa wants him.

That confirms it - I’m signing up to the golf club, I can’t put up with another year of negativity.

Captain Diaz!

This whole Mols / Buckley / Sign Sparks Kids thing is fast becoming tedious and boring.

It doesn’t effect us, but it’s good comparison that Blackpool have sold 7,000 in the time we’ve sold about 250.

Oh man, I thought this couldn’t get any better but here we are.

There’s me thinking that they’d try and get some feel good factor about being allowed back in with a superb, one season only, hugely discounted season ticket.

Watch this space…

They’re the same thing - they never get their full wages, that’s being paid off - which only ever happens when wages are higher than a transfer fee, eg Ozil.

Nope - he’s entitled to the balance owed in his contract unless he requests to leave. That’s why a lot of big clubs in big money transfers say ‘unless XYZ submits a transfer request they’re staying’ - it’s a threat. Now that’s ‘usually’ the case, there are exceptions, but most transfers work in this way. Now, if Arma really wants to move, which you expect he will, then usually he will negotiate his loyalty payment down. The issue with having players with 12 months left is theoretically, he can hang on for another year and move on a free - where he can demand a higher wage from his next club because he’s no transfer fee. Let’s say Arma is on 12K a week and has exactly 12 months left. That means he is owed 624K from Rovers in his contract. If we sell him in the summer he might negotiate that figure down to help push a move - he might accept 30%, say £187,200 to leave. But that’s worth it - because if he does move he can expect a signing on payment for his new club at roughly 10% of his transfer fee. Let’s say we sold him for 12 million… and Newcastle took their 4.8million 40% fee, and we paid him £187,200 loyalty… that gives us roughly 7M left to replace him… and that’s probably over 3/4 years. Then we need to replace him - but our new striker wants his 10% signing payment, plus his agent wants 5%, plus his management company want 3%… before you know it we’ve sold a 12 million pound player and with every single penny we have 5M to replace him.

It depends on the terms of the contract - at the moment, unless he submits a transfer request we only need to pay him a loyalty payment negotiated from his current wage for 1 year. If he had signed a 20K a week 5 year deal AND there was a 40% sell on clause we would have some huge payments to make if we sold him.

There’s something in that Si Senor song for sure. In fact, it’s begging for it. He is the king of Chile don’t you know born in Stoke La Rojo’s number 9 Si Senor give Diaz the ball and he will score

We know a guy selling Brereton Diaz 22 Chile tops for cheap..

He’s been having Spanish lessons for the past few months ever since he decided to represent Chile. I don’t think it’s an issue he’s gone out there and not played. He’s a back up option, which is acceptable when he’s behind Alexis Sanchez. For all they knew Alexis would get injured in training. It’s a competitive game, it’s like Ollie Watkins is only playing for England in the Euros if Harry Kane gets injured.

Done.

To add to this, if when the thread does come back we deem posters to be solely posting here to try and wind people up they’ll be issued with bans too.

Can I suggest you start using our ignore feature?

Just hid a bucket load of posts - to the people who notice their posts are no longer hear, I suggest an early night and a pint of water.

This is why I’m not in charge. I’m guessing they attach a value to each player or something?
