We might have to give him a pay off. Sad because he’s still a very good player when he’s fit which he rarely is.

[Nigels Tackle]

apparently there was a clause in the deal that meant we had to pay lens €5m if he played in 10 games for us last season
he played in 9

Class if true

Maybe not if were trying to business with Lens in the near future. They might be a little sore.

[john@staustell]

That would explain it

Snide as fuck on the player and the club he's coming from. Not just Lens, but it sends a message out to teams that are doing business with us not to trust us.

I’m in this corner. Are we really that fucking hard up?

Pep spent near on 200 million in January and we saw about half of that ( and that’s no exaggeration ) on the pitch.
I’d be very careful how much we allow him to spend as he doesn’t give a shit if he benches billions worth to the bench .

Our head honcho needs to ensure the players he wants are worth the money and more importantly , he’s going to play them more often than not .

[salford city]

I Don't believe for a munute that we didn't play him due to clause - or why we would agree to said clause as Lens were getting a huge return on their investment from us. More nonsense from sources trying to shit stir and look for something that is not there.
I do share Carl's view that Pep needs to justify his non-selection assuming that no injury was the cause

[PeterParker]

We had a problem paying 5 mil to Lens, but we are ok on spending over the board for players like Phillips

If we want to fuck clubs over, why not start with the likes of Barcelona and the Italian ones who are used on fucking us up the arse?

[Mase]

Could ask Barca to just pay Lens direct from the money they owe us for Feran Torres

Fair play to the cheeky twats but I guarantee that Torres goes this summer for a fee higher than what they owe to us. It's only by us allowing them to structure the deal this way that they've been able to continue and buy other players. Think(?) They are also due to pay the balance on Raphina to Leeds

[zuricity]

Lens paid 200,000 for him. Sold to City for 33 mill 18 months later.
They did alright on the deal.

They don't need any more.

He was wanted by a number of clubs - hence his price. Why should Lens be punished for spotting a player that would make it?

Why are they being punished.
They must have agreed to the clause
