KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Buyout clause details released

Agree shouldn't be coming out with it but hopefully it'll blow over quick

the club has a reputation these days for lying so im not surprised that suarez and his agent put the squeeze on, in fact they were right. club cant keep lying to players.

suarez and his agent were far from lillywhite in this issue.

yea but fck it, got the job done. club needs to stop prickn about and if it took crooked suarez and his gangster agent to give them the boot up the arse we all needed then its a machiavellian solution.

Its different though when the value of the contract depends on something like performance levels, a player can play sh!t and still not breach his contract, and it'd be nearly impossible to prove he was doing it on purpose. So yes you could hold a player to his contract if you really wanted to, but if he wasn't happy playing for you, then both sides are going to lose out as performances will reflect that.

Its not ideal, but that's the way it is these days.

Stupid by Henry, but players act the bolx including Torres and Suarez and mascherano to get their move so in a sense Henry is right but pls shut up

I thought the PFA read Suarez contract and said there was no such clause?

Sounds like the journalists have misquoted Henry.

It provides the player with security, which in turn hopefully makes them happy and transfers into good performances on the pitch. It also enables the club to get a good price if there is a need to sell. But with performance related contract in other areas of life, if it went to court, normally the judge doesn't force the contract to be fulfilled but rather awards compensation (E.g. if you paid a tattooist to give you a tattoo, then he decided he didn't like you and didn't want to do the tattoo, would you really want him to be forced to do it against his will?). It'd be interesting to see a player forced to pay a club compensation in that way, but I guess that could only happen if the player straight out refused to play.

Don’t see much sense in what Henry has come out and said there. It’s a put down for Suarez and his agent, for no advantage to LFC, except to make Henry look smarter than them, since everything Henry does is commercially motivated, that is hardly his motivation!
The only other reason he might have for saying all that stuff, is to upset Suarez and cash in on him in the summer! Or perhaps he really doesn’t want a top four finish, as that will require a massive investment to stay there, hence his rocking the boat at this critical juncture!
What else makes sense out of this amazing announcement at this particular time?

I got it. He's going out of his way to impress that gorgeous lass of his. After all, he's about thirty years her senior, isn't he?
