Talk of Zohore being sold

[Kris]

1. If Zahore is sold then we will be reduced to an average team. He is as unique a player as there is and is irreplaceable. If there is a buy out clause then it won't be IMO anywhere near the figures being bandied about. If there isn't and the club cash in, then that would be on a par with the Toshack error.

2. Etheridge was excellent last night. I would not drop him for Camp. City have Murphy who is decent. City do not need Marshall.

It's very likely there is a buy out clause. That's the point in getting him to sign a new contract. It protects the club's investment (I suspect his first contract did not have a clause as he was a rookie), he gets a wage boost and he knows he is not locked into a contract.

I don't think it is "very likely" that there's a release clause, they don't seem to be that common at this level, and none of us really know what is in their contracts.
The new contract could just have been a wage rise to reflect that he's an important player these days

Warnock has said there is no release clause in Zohore's contract but there is one in Bennett's.

Best news all day! Then at least it is in our hands now...

20million and he is gone. Unfortunately.

Probably - but at least I'd be able to say 'told you so' to a load of doubters on here - including TLG

Seriously, I'm not sure how you replace someone like Zohore, even with that sort of money, if Scott Hogan went for £15M. All a bit concerning, but I'm going to pretend to myself that NW is correct and we're not going to sell him this season regardless of what is offered...

I would have thought selling him at any price would be short sighted. The way it is viewed is we found Zohore, Mendes Damour etc we will find another one.
I would be devastated if we sold Zohore, keep him for another season and double the money or triple it if we sell him as a premier league player.

Me too. Both he and Animal have the 'X' Factor that gets you off your seat when they have the ball as they generally do something positive with it.

I think we have been given some rare gifts in Zohore and NM-L and have to capitalize on what is clearly a motivated and confident TEAM at present. We really don't want to mess with the Chemistry right now if it can be avoided.
