Tom Ince

Not the usual question but just occurred to me.

It's been widely reported that Liverpool have a sell on clause with Ince (30-35% depending on the source) but Ince's contract is up at the end of the season.

If he walks on a free does that mean that by turning down big bids last summer Blackpool have cost us several million?!

Was rumoured this is why they refused to sell him back to us because they'd only of got something like 3million where as they wanted 7+. Its seems they cut off their own hand to spite their face. I guess he had value to them when he was gna play under his father but since his sacking he must of been refusing to play or something ? I heard it was 40-45 %

That makes no sense, whether they sell him to us or someone else is irrelevant.

If we put in a 7 million pound bid they would get £4-5m and we we recoup the rest. If someone else put in a 7 million pound bid they would get £4-5m and we we recoup the rest.

The only difference is it would seem like we have £4-5m leaving our accounts whereas another club would have the full £7m.

Also most reports suggest it was more like 30% rather than 45%, that figure does seem steep.

I would have thought that there would have been no time limit on his contract; Blackpool weren't going to give him away free. I don't think Tom Ince was or is the quality that we seek. A simple test: who would you drop from the current team/squad to make way for him. I rest my case.

They won't get nothing because he is under 24. They will get some compensation but not much, and I assume we will get a bit of that.

They didn't turn down bids either. It's Ince they will be annoyed with because they accepted a bid from Cardiff in the summer and he turned it down.

It's the player who has cost them money with his demands.

Well, you know what they say - a bird in the bushes is worth two in the hand.

Actually I prefer to be in a hotel when I have a bird. Who knows what lurks in the bushes not to mention doing it in the bush will leave you itchy all over.
