There’s a £10M release clause in O’Brien’s contract. I've seen that reported as well. However, if it's true then release clauses are usually paid in one lump up front - or at least that's how it works in Spain. Seeing as we'd have to replace him and we're looking to payoff DH as soon as possible, £10m in one lump is probably better than the 'up to £13m' over a long period based on lots of variables. |

He's signed a new contract, he's improved, he's playing well, and the chestwankers are desperate for something to change. If he does sign for them then I'm confident he'll help get them relegated - well done Agent O'Brien  |

There’s a £10M release clause in O’Brien’s contract. yeah that means they can talk to him. The club can (and will) want more. probably at £5 a week interest free. |

In what possible situation could we demand more than the minimum fee release clause? If its £10 million, he won't go for any more than that. |

Would rather drill a hole in my knee & pour acid into the wound, rather than read anything from the Daily Mail! Me too. Surprisingly the consensus is it is a pile of crap written in 5 minutes. |

No great surprises if he does move on.
Served us well, best player by a mile and deserves a shot at better football.
We will miss him but it won’t break us.

Can Leeds afford to give us £10m for him in one lump?

He's worth more than £10m now. I think we underestimate the amount of work required to carry a 2 man midfield in the way he does without getting caught out. He's as good a ball winner as I've seen for Town now, he doesn't just tackle he nips in there in 40:60 situations, stays on his feet and is on the front foot immediately after winning it.
If he does go in January we'd need to bring 2 players in to replace him because there's no way we could afford a player with all his qualities and we're light in midfield as it is.

How would we play the 2 players we require to replace him in the same team ? I am sure teams would object to us playing 12 👌😏 Might be wiser to buy the best we can get with the money available rather than playing one of the 2 players who make up his replacement.

I would assume that the buy out clause says £x paid in x instalments over x years, as £10M paid in 20 instalments over 20 years would certainly not be what we would be expecting. |

A buy-out clause usually has to be paid in full, in a single payment. Or, at least this is the way things happen in other European Leagues. I can't remember the name of the player, but Arsenal lodged the funds to cover a buy-out clause of a player with the Spanish FA and there was nothing the player's current club could do to stop the transfer. |

There could and should be more than 1 bidder 🤓 |

The club can want whatever, that’s irrelevant. If it’s a £10m release clause, then we have to accept that and it’s purely down to the player to agree terms then. That’s the whole point of a release clause. |

O'Brien would be in a better negotiating position if there are more than one club after him though. He would probably become a multimillionaire overnight. |
