Message: [QUOTE="The True King, post: 3543613, member: 9651"] How can you say its not hindsight but go on to say he was a top quality striker? You signed him after a loan spell in which he scored 13 goals in the prem (same as Glenn Murray).. I am not sure how one alright season can equal being top quality. He went on to prove his worth the next season but again that's after the money was thrown at him. In any case, I don't have too much interest in the conversation further anyway given you go on to state incorrect figures for the Jota fee. I'm not sure if you're talking pounds or euros but in either case its wrong haha. As far as the whole release clause thing goes, as with alot of other things in Portuguese football, it's a tradition that has been borrowed from La Liga where they are mandatory as part of every contract. I'd argue they put them so high because they've learnt the lesson from Neymar where if you make it attainable other bigger clubs will come in and steal players. Ultimately they are there to protect the club. I have no issue with them doing it either, as always buyers should beware. [/QUOTE]
