You're actually hilarious. Barcelona love putting hiked release clauses in contracts, so to do Real Madrid plus the other clubs in Spain too to ward off interest. And how in the hell does release clauses mean little in Spain when we've just seen (the latest example) Barcelona sweat?

Why didn't they bid £40,000,000.01. Seems excessive to bid a whole extra £1

Re the clause. I heard that it only means that if Fab wants to go back to Arsenal, does the clause enact. If he doesn't want to go (for whatever reason, ie money, trophies etc), then other team can get him.

Stick to Santa clauses.

Arsenal can have Suarez for 99p as long as Coates goes with him!

If they want him then they can stump up the £55 million fee plus £5 million for Coates as well.

thanks for that fantastic piece of information. stick to using common sense

All this talk of release clauses is nonsense. First of all few know for sure what the clauses actually are and they're often pointless. If Barcelona accept a bid from United then Fabregas can go there. If the release clause is £200 million then it show how pointless it is because they'll accept far less than that....

if someone actually gives us cash for Coates then I would take it, any amount!

lol, I did.

I am guessing others are offering more money, and the agent will see that.

Puzzled why anyone would think a player would move for anything but money, or trophies.

Actually no its not nonsense or pointless. Yes we know Barcelona could willingly write the clause off if they wished but thats extremely unlikely.

Based on what? You're saying they would turn down a £60 million bid? £100 million bid? If United come in with an offer Barcelona like they can accept. I think we can all agree that an acceptable bid would be less than £200 million so the clause is pointless.
