hes certainly upset the gers fans by stating officially he wants to leave...fact

If he invokes the Webster clause, as the article suggests, wouldn't he be available as a free transfer?

Then the money the club would be spending would go back to the player?

Basically he receives his own transfer fee, sort of?

I had never heard of that rule...seems rather harsh on the clubs, doesn't it?

Yes, but the article plainly states that the club would only receive £1m. Either you didn't read it or you somehow didn't understand that part.

The club is entitled to the amount that would have been paid in wages to the player up to the end of his contract, so it's not really a 'free transfer' - someone has to pay.

So the player pays 1m to become a free agent then city, for example, would compensate the player the 1m in a signing on fee?

One would hope so, but it's not a requirement. Seems unlikely a player would invoke the clause without having a new club lined up.

With this new information coming to light, get him in Sven!

About half way down this page it mentions there is a story in the sun/ daily express about him not invoking the clause now....

It also says that Everton are missing out on Miroslav Klose. He's been angling after a move to us for ages now

This may have been mentioned before, but SSN have said that Miroslav Klose is joining Valencia.

We'll just have to settle for Owen, then.
