Being strongly linked with a move away from spurs with 3 or 4 prem clubs in the race for him, think harry is keen to sell but they want to recoup as much as they can on the outlay they spent, does anyone know if we had the bloody sense to put a sell on clause in his contract? If the fees being quoted come off could be a nice few million in the bank.

    I think most of the original deal was overided by an early payment deal, so any sell on clause would have gone in that

    yes the club did have add on clauses but as it seems he will be sold for less than Spurs paid taking the money early (factoring it) now seems like a good move.

    How it was spent is another matter.

    Im pretty sure they paid in installments and we included a sell on clause. But did we with Diawara as he is set to move to Bordeaux (how ever you spell it).

    Diawara is already at Bordeaux. Payments based on them reaching the European cup which they did this year.

    I think he meant another club, I did read somewhere that Diawara was being linked with another French club?

    Even if there is a sell on clause for Bent, it might only be on any profit they make. It's almost certain that when they sell him it'll be for less than what they paid us for him.

    Sell on clauses normally only apply to any profit made when selling a player. So Spurs would have to sell him for over £16m before we saw anything come back to us, I doubt even the yiddo's could get that for Bent.

    Radio this morning was suggesting they were trying to get £18m for him...

    heard on the radio they'd turned down £14m from Sunderland, can only think it means there are few clubs trying to sign him - Everton or Villa would be good for him, hopefully plenty of European games to show everyone how good a goalscorer he can be given the chance. Or Arsenal of course ;-)

    Bent has done OK at Spuds really, he has scored 24 goals in 77 games [no pens] for them, so 1 in 3 is a decent ratio when you consider how they have messed him about. If he was given a full season of league and cup games then he would be close to a 20 goal per season man which in todays market would put him close to 20 million given the premium on goalscorers.

    Whatever happens, wish him well.
