Ashton to United? (Manchester, that is)

'Ackney Canary 13/05/2008, 1:30 PM
Sky Sports are reporting that Man Utd have tabled a £10m bid for Deano. I can't imagine the Hammers would accept that - although I'm sure they would accept £15m - but the point of the thread is to ask whether we have a sell-on clause - or did that get lost in the Robert Green transfer saga?

Don't know about the transfer clauses but me thinks West Ham would be fairly keen to sell. Deano is obviously a quality player but he's injury prone and Curbs might prefer to buy someone who he can rely on.

He'll be a bit part player wherever he goes with his injury history. Useful sub to have around though if you are ManUre.

I could, did you see the goal he scored against United? It was an amazing overhead kick.

Why would we write off a clause when we sell them another player? If we'd brought a player off them I would say thats possible but surely not even our board would agree to waive the Ashton sell on as part of selling them another player.

Am I missing something really obvious here?

As I understand it the only clause that has been waived is Ashton's international appearance fee - it being reduced from £125k to £25k. I'd be very surprised if the sell-on clauses for either Green or Ashton have been removed.

Yes, part of the Ashton international appearance clause.

That was my understanding too.

So the next question is, do we get a % based on the total fee or the money WHU have made i.e. 3 million if the transfer is 10 million.

Also what is the %.......so many questions

Re: Ashton to United? (Manchester, that is)

blahblahblah 13/05/2008, 3:34 PM

BBC Sport says it's 15%, with an extra 125,000 for getting into Europe (paid), and 125,000 for his first cap (not paid yet ?)

Wow what a deal.. We get Grant and a reduced sell on clause. Amazing piece of business!
