You make a good point about the buy out clause and I would it was likely that there is one in the contract he signed in April - if there was one, you would think it was lower than £20 million. However, there have been statements from the club during the summer that any potential buyers need to be offering something like £15 million before we even consider selling, so you'd think that, if there is a release clause, it's not going to be lower than that.

Agree about Etheridge, he was interviewed after the match last night and said that Camp has had to have an operation - seems like he may be out for some time yet.
