There wasn't anything in that long ago settlement after Wet Spam nicked him re a % of all future transfer fees, was there?

Straws, clutching at...

    Thanks, Scruffle. I knew I'd heard something like that somewhere. Didn't realise it was of the orange variety!

    Shame we didn't get that clause as Defoe is now the most expensive British forward.

    Good to read that Defoe demanded his £700k loyalty bonus from Pompey as he hadn't asked for a transfer. Pompey refused, so Spurs paid him.

    His mum knows, when it's a good time to buy a house.


    I mention this the other day on the Defoe and loyalty thread.

    There is a % clause on Bostock.

    There was a percentage clause on Defoe if I remember it rightly. But what the Spurs and Whammies agreed to do was value Zamora as part of the deal. So hence the fee was lowered for Defoe and thus a lower ammount to take a chunk out of. Think I'm right in saying this.

    There was a percentage fee and I think all told we made a £1m plus out of a player who never played a game for us, albeit that was a lot less than the money we'd have got had he stayed. I think WHU tried to lower the deal by including Zamora but Charlton complained, it went to a tribunal and we got slightly more.

    Nope, we only had the original sell on percentage.
