dubai_phil Posted 1 January, 2009 Share Posted 1 January, 2009 Rumoured to be subject of a bid from Man City for around 8mil. Can't remember what we sold him for or if we may get a week's worth of cash-flow in as a share of the profit. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WealdSaint Posted 1 January, 2009 Share Posted 1 January, 2009 We did £8 million + Graham Le Seux if memory serves. Don't know if there was a sell on clause. If there is then well done Rupert, praise where praise is due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not knocking Lowe but giving praise for a sell on clause is like giving praise for getting another club to give us money in a transfer deal.

It is a pretty standard thing nowadays yes BUT if memory serves didnt we not only get £7 million plus Le Saux didnt Chelsea carry on paying some of Le Saux's wages for the first year ? That might have been instead of a sell on clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I heard a rumour that we didn't put a sell-on clause on our only big sale while he was out - namely Kenwyne Jones - who could be worth some money one day... But it was only a rumour, probably from a Scooby type. But if we sold Bridge for 8mil and Chelsea get the same for him I guess no profit on the deal means nothing for us.. Googlers?

brightspark Posted 1 January, 2009 Share Posted 1 January, 2009 I think it was SIX million and Le Saux. Im pretty sure of that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 1 January, 2009 Share Posted 1 January, 2009 I doubt there is a sell on clause, at the time Chelsea were paying in hard cash so we probably took that option rather money down the line, also little point in putting in a sell on clause when the player has already got the big money move, any moe from Chelsea is going to be downwards, oh...

alexlabibi Posted 1 January, 2009 Share Posted 1 January, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Bridge According to that 7mil + Le Saux. Although from memory we payed 500k for Le Saux and he was only unofficially part of the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_John Posted 1 January, 2009 Share Posted 1 January, 2009 I don't think there is a sell-on clause. The are a few articles on the OS from 21 July 2003, this is the one that goes into the most details. IMO if there had been one I think it would have been mentioned, i.e. it trys to "spin" the deal up to £10M as if we would have paid GS wages in full and all the Agent fees etc. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/?page_id=1263 Also RL thought it was a "depressed market" when Roman arrived at Chelsea - just shows what he knows about Football.
