Glad rom has put pen to paper on a 5 year deal, but the rumoured buy out is a consern, if he can just walk away should someone come in with a 70-80mill offer, then the deal, apart from the money, is not really worth the paper it's writern on, it's about building a great team, not a great bank balance, you only get that by keeping your best players.

But on the flip side, if we value him at say £80m and someone comes in with an unsettling bid of around £65m, then we can easily turn it down and show Rom the contract that says he can only go for x value. I see it as a win win for both parties.

I agree jcw but if he's going to be going sooner or later like we all no he eventually is, we may aswell get top whack for him.

So how much is the buy out does anyone know? Do any of the Eds know. because I'm with JCW why sign or is it that Everton get more money for him.
{Ed002's Note - There may well be a termination clause but there sure as hell won't be a buy out clause.}

Absolutely. People get confused about clauses. No such thing as buy out clauses but trigger clauses is a more accurate term. A great deal of difference.

The pen has not touched the paper has it?
{Ed002's Note - Not yet but I am not so surre of the reason everyone worries about this.}

Well, I only mentioned it because the guy who started this post said he had signed. I am just saying. not yet he hasnt. So we can't even say the ink is still wet. It is actually still in the pen! Any ideas what is holding it up Ed?
{Ed025's Note - i dont sorry degs, the last i heard was that he was ready to put pen to paper mate..
