But some use this for a reason / excuse for not getting the players we go yet use it in the opposite for suarez it can be both can it ?

How come?
Did we rate Markovic higher than the other 2?
Champions league money has helped but with Miki we offered the same as Dortmund but he chose them and Kono was in the bag as we met his release clause. Their chairman then decided to be a nob and not sign the deal off. What more could we have done?
So explain how we had to except suarez sale once the buy out was met as stated by you and others yet with kono they don't ? There's always excuses on our failings can you not see it ?
If a buy out clause is met as you and a lot of others have said and (personal terms MONEY met) it has to happen is what you all have been saying with Suarez, yet here you say with Kono it don't ? You guys can't have it both ways! so which is correct ? All you in the know re transfers ? Personally I don't buy it I think we didn't offer the terms the player wanted or why didn't it go ahead after the release clause was met ?.

. Actually it can. The way it works is "good business practice". We met Costa's release clause too but were never given the chance to speak to him. When a release clause is met it is standard practice to allow the player to speak to the club, however i don't believe it is a legal obligation to sell.
Like with a car dealer, you could agree that the car is worth 3grand...and you could offer 3grand...but he doesn't HAVE to sell. It is good business practice though and there isnt much you can do with a disgruntled player in your squad. We cheated Suarez' out of his release clause once, then we revised the contract...no point in forcing him to stay a 2nd time. He would have just sulked and taken us to the court of sport arbitration.
