The Ryan Fraser Clause

[G31DON]

Did he play long enough as a youngster at Bournemouth to count as a "homegrown" player?

[shut up meg]

It used to be that the player had to be with the club for 3 seasons between the ages 16-21, I think Fraser only was there for 2 seasons.

That's a shame, if he was considered homegrown, his value would probably double.

[shut up meg]

That's the reason why he'll go to the top, Bournemouth will probably cash in and Fraser will jump at the chance of going to a top 6 club in the summer though.

He wouldn't take the chance of a fluke Tommy Hoban style injury or a huge drop in form next season and miss out completely.

[Parklife]

Hopefully Moroccans with better driving skills.

[fine-n-dandy]

He'll be 'looking for his lost dog Masie' down in London after reported sightings of a dog matching her description at each of, Spurs, arsenal & Chelseas grounds

[Poodler]

He seems to me like a very selfish/self driven individual so wouldn't surprise me to see him let his contract run down to get a big signing on fee

 

The risk to that of course is his stock might not be so high

 

Really?

 

Seemed to have plenty love for his dog, in that bbc interview

[Studebaker-90]

£25M surely. loose change to these clubs

They were talking about £35 million on BT sport at the weekend

Be better for us,but very much doubt they will get near that.

Plus when the window opens the big boys doon there will wait till near the end and get him for less imo.

But you never know.

Might be harder for them to wait if there is 2 or 3 clubs interested.

Yep, get a few clubs interested then its kaching for the Dandies.

[King Street Loon]

Almost to much love.

That reminds me, haven't heard from Tyneside Don for a while.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

This years xherdan Shaqiri.

 

Hopefully.

[Poodler]

Be a right laugh if there was no clause

[slippers]

If the clause is real surely it’s a bargaining tool they can use to get a little extra for him if they are losing 20-25% of fee to Aberdeen!

[aberdeen1970]

Get the wee cunt sold to the highest bidder.

 

We might be able to keep McKenna for another year

[Dynamo]

Be interesting to see what the club do with the money if we do rake in say £5m from this given the dire need of investment in the squad and the elephant in the room of how the fuck are we paying for this new stadium.

[Ke1t]

Be a right laugh if there was no clause

 

Has any alleged clause been confirmed?

 

I mean, it would be smashing and brill if we DID make seventy blillion trillion squillion pounds from his sale to the Arse, don't get me wrong... but has it been officially confirmed that there even is a clause? 

[Dusk( 2 Stars )Don]

From BBC article on Ryan.....Sell him now and Bournemouth make a lot of of money - so, too, Aberdeen, who will get a sizeable piece of the action if Unai Emery backs up his admiration with a solid bid.

[Dynamo]

Was the same not said of the training facility?

 

These are professional businessmen at the helm, have some faith

 

Not really there was pretty much constant communication about how much funding was in place for the training ground.

Not heard anything about the stadium, and if recent projects are anything to go by it will be more than the £50m they were speaking about 3 years ago.

 

I just want the club to be honest - is the playing budget going to suffer? They're saying no but it must at some point and it would help temper expectations, don't you think?

[aberdeen1970]

I think we'll be able to tell.

 

The cost cutting when Pele came in was pretty obvious when you looked on the park.

[Dynamo]

Haha you said it yourself

 

The club have said the playing budget wont be affected, but are saying you want them to be honest, maybe they ARE being honest!

 

I'm sceptical. 

 

DNA money won't cover the hole as it gets bigger. (OK this should be on the stadium thread.)

I was more wondering if the club had said anything regarding a sell on clause. Not that I don't trust the BBC, but they've employed guys like Chick Young and Jim Traynor, so it's not like their journalistic standards are crazy high. 

 

IF there's a sell on clause then hopefully their shite current form leads them to a hasty panic buy.

Why do the club need to come out and tell details of a sell on clause when the player has still not been sold on. So Milne comes out and says we have a 25% sell on clause and Fraser could be sold for 25 million and the fans wet their knickers in anticipation, only for him to run down his contract and leave for free next season. Never ever heard of a club coming out and confirming what the sell on clause for a player is prior to him being sold. These things though are usually widely known by the media and aren't secrets so I tend to believe Richard Gordon and the likes when they say it is 25%.

 

There is 100% a sell on clause and we will do well out of any sale of Fraser if that happens this summer.

Right enough Milne's done such a sterling job over the past 20 years.  Fills me full of confidence

[pwtredz]

i reckon he`ll let his contract run down, get himself a very decent payday, meaning he wont have too worry about his finances ever again.

after all he`s only shown loyalty too himself in his short career...

[NEM]

I'm sure he'll still be getting £100k plus a week if they sign him this summer - don't think he'll have to worry about retraining as a plumber once he retires.

not going too arsenal then ?

[NEM]

How do you work that out?  Arsenal have the 5th biggest wage bill in the EPL.  Ozil rumoured to be on £300k per week.  I'm pretty sure if they are forking out £25 million for a player he'll get a wage which reflects that
