Didn't Warnock already confirm he had a £2m Buy-out clause though? Or is this just a cover so Preston don't know how much money we got, so we don't get rinsed on Cunningham?

Warnock mentioned buy out clause but i think an { ITK } poster on here put a figure of 2mill on it

We do get mixed signals from Warnock regarding possible transfers,one minute he is saying "my transfer business is concluded " then he is saying he is trying to bring in one surprise signing before the window shuts now you tell us he wants to bring in 3 or 4 signings before the window shuts.......my advice to everyone on here just calm down and see what evolves

Sorry with all due respect to Bennett he is never worth 5 million and would be astonished if Fulham thought otherwise

If his buy out clause is 5mil, buy Bogle for 1mil then you have the 3-4 mil for Cunningham, good piece of business if that is true tho :bluebird:

Even if he was I doubt very much that all the money received would go on new players. I think it more likely that the bulk would go towards reducing our debts.

Bennett may not be worth £5m but if Scott Malone can play in the Premier League,who knows?

Not really sure how it works but I think the buy out clauses only allow a team to open negotiations with the club and player, I may be wrong

There are two types of clauses one that you mention which is not really a clause and the other if two million is correct, is we have to sell him for that. City are in negotiations with Fulham so I would say that they would not be in negotiations if the price was fixed :thumbup:

If it is 1m that would make sense with the Bogle, Cunningham and Bell bids (if true)

Neither is malone. Nothing shocks me in today's market and we need to accept that fees are hugely inflated.
