heard that we could put a bid in for Jordan Rhodes of Huddersfield. Although Lee Clark doesnt want to sell he could change his mind if we offer Sammy Ameobi to the terriers on a 6 months loan deal.

Of course they would sell the leagues leading scorer in exchange for sammy ameobi ha ha ha what about teams above you in league who are watching him and can offer more wages

I cant see Sammy going out on loan. Pards seems to like him, he's been breaking into the 1st team as a impact sub and even had a couple starts. i for one think he looks sharp and is essentially our second choice left winger at the mo.

I would like to see him loaned, not really prem quality yet, but a loan spell at somewhere like Blackburn or Everton or even Bolton would give him the neccessary.

It's obvious who would release Ba's contract details . . . . Mike Ashley! Chance of fast cash!! Lets hope if Ba is available for the blackburn game as reported Pards plays him making him a less interesting option as cup tied! And potentially not available until mid Feb! Bristol Mag

He has already went to the ACON with Tiote he left after man u game

He's already joined up with the Senegal squad ahead of the ACN

I don't like to slag people off on here too much but that statement about Ashley is moronic.

Revealing the release clause would mean we'd get LESS for Ba because all Spurs need to do is bid the lowest amount needed to trigger it. If the clause was not known about, they would probably bid at least double if they're seriously interested.

Lets face it, its not like we'd need to tout for offers if we wanted to sell him right now.

DomW.

Time to face up to reality. at the mo ba is class (i hate to admit it) cost ashley nowt. wanted by lots of clubs. say spurs offer enough to trigger clause then there could be a bidding war. even though you hate to admit it ashley will cash in. what if ba loses form or gets injured or suspended value will drop no easy profit for ashley mad max

This story really maks me laff we where in this sit at the start the season when we met the 1 mil get out clause for swansea's left back and that made no difference we did not sign him regardless of that get out clause and it will be the same for anyone trying to sign ba

Spurs will always put a bid in for any player that wears football shorts

I would suspect that all the release clause figure does is allow the player to talk to other clubs but not mean you have to sell at that price.

No the player does not have to agree to a move even if the buy out price is met. The players aren't slaves, you cant force anyone to join a team they don't want too, they still have to put pen to paper. People lose their heads during transfer windows... BA is in Africa, if there is an out in his contract and he wants to go, he may do. But there is not anyone can do about that... but just a quick question, do you think a team would sign him (with his history) now when they cant bring him in to there facilities for a physical?

Why the panic release clause just means they can talk doesnt mean we have to sell

Supposedly the contract states that the clause can only be triggered if the team is in the champions league. dublintoon

Why do so many prats state who, what and when triggers the get out clause?
It has never been stated so therefor you are just guessing. {Ed007's Note - You're just guessing that they are guessing....

Ed007 obviously a prat {Ed007's Note - OOooohhh touchy. How long did it take you to think that up mastermind?}

Wasnt supposed to be whitty or amusing therefore not very long to think of, just posting a fact after your needless smart a*se comment, obviously the eds of this site have allowed there children to get hold of there laptops, grow up pal {Ed007's Note - Good job it wasn't meant to be whitty(??) or amusing, it wasn't. What fact did you post? You came on calling other posters prats for 'guessing', all I said was you were guessing that they were guessing, so that is a fact in it's own right. I don't need to resort to name calling to get my point across. Wind your neck in fella, where's the famous Geordie sense of humour?}

Seems a lot of people have read his contract...

This might be a load of balls. but could Ba's clause (if there even is one ) just be linKed to relegation, similar to that at west ham?

Just to ease nufc fans: Niel taylor of Swansea had release clause of �0�51m we tried to activate,but they wanted �0�510m... Maybe we could do that and ask �0�540m. . .(U hear that Kenny).

If the 10M release clause is true and is now common knowledge, then it has to be Ba's agent who's telling everyone.

It was Karen Brady on twitter who let the cat out the bag cause he had the same thing in contract with WH.

West ham clause also included relegation

aw great so ive heard about this by out clause 10 million will be a doddle for any club to splash out on such a good striker i bet he will be gone by the end of january just like last year with carroll dont belive this for god sake! just when things looked good

He will most likely go in the summer ,hopefully we'll of had the best of him by then as his knee won't hold out for ever and he may end up like Ledley king .

The Daily Mail reports Demba Ba has put the Premier League's top clubs on red alert last night when it emerged he has a £10million release clause in his Newcastle contract. Any truth in this Ed? Toonshack {Ed001's Note - contracts are meant to be confidential, so someone would have to reveal the clause. It would be typical of Redknapp to use his buddies in the media to reveal a clause he already knew about in order to make use of it while trying to bid for him and avoid looking like he had been up to no good.}

Proper wheeler dealer geezer Harry does this all the time.
