Depends on how the option is worded.
An option usually sets the price, it doesnt determine the right of the selling party to refuse the sale.
We can't sell to anyone else for a figure over the price agreed anyway.

Are you sure about it? I've always thought it works a bit like a realese clause only in this case a team spesific release clause.
[/quote]
No, I'm not sure unfortunately.
The wording might reflect your view, its hardto say unless we saw the terms.

Oh great, the weekly 'The lad who wasn't good enough for us is pulling up trees in a shitter, slower league - Maybe we made a mistake? Can we get him back' thread.
Like when Djibril was fucked off years ago, and spent the next 6 months scoring the odd goal against some backpackers - We got a thread about it every fucking day. And I was a Cisse fan for fucks sake.

cisse wasn't that good when he left. Aqua seems to be getting rave reviews and man of the match awards. Add that to the fact that he wasn't shit for us adds up to a wasted opportunity

Me too, although I accept that the Premiership isn't really the ideal place for him.
It isn't really the ideal place for Torres either.

No offence Robin - but it comes as no suprise that you like(d) Aquilani.
I get the impression your teamsheet would consist of 11 absolute vaginas, all playing pretty triangles in the middle of the park, in between flicking their hair out of their eyes, before retreating back to the dressing room for some dill, artichoke, and and crushed pinenut sandwiches. On rye of course.
We'd draw 0-0 every week, but by Christ we'd look great.
🙂

What was embarrassing about the Cisse threads if I recall correctly, was people would big up shots by him that went 'just wide'.

Theres a lot of vaginas in the league though ryan and given time they settled. I reckon Aquilani is a bit too injury prone to make a lasting impression though...unlike say someone like modric or david silva!

While its clear he wasnt exactly Souness I think the days when every player in the premiership needs to be a physical beast to survive are long gone. When he played he looked a decent creative midfield player with an eye for a pass or a goal. Look at Pires during his time at arsenal, probably the biggest pussy in the league but the best left sided player around for about 4/5 years

To be honest just a few "vaginas" in midfield would do it (supported by a defensive midfielder), if by vaginas we mean technically strong, creative players.
I don't want vaginas in defence or nets. And whilst I said that the Premiership isn't maybe the ideal place for Fernando, I think he's strong enough to play up top.

Regardless of what anyone thinks about his ability to cut it in this league, he was still largely untested here and, given how thin our squad is (as Roy has alluded to on more than one occasion), it was fucking daft to loan him out before a ball was kicked.
Who would you rather come off the bench when we need a goal? Christian Poulsen or Aquilani?

Torres is good enough to play anywhere.
Aquilani might have made it here, but we'd have had to have built the side around him and neither Rafa nor Hodgson seemed to want to do that. Perhaps he next manager will take a different view if he is still available to us.
He wouldn't have been any use to us this season anyway. How much damage would he have been able to do stuck 20 yards in front of the back four? None. And we'd just have repeated arguments about how he's either unsuited to the league, needs to play in an attacking team or needs more team-mates on his "wave-length". So yeah, it doesn't grate me in the slightest that he's doing well for Juve.

One goal in every home game, and the fastest ever in English football to reach 50 goals.....i'm finding the logic behind that a bit too difficult.

The very last two sentences quoted from him there are significant IMO. He plainly had a job settling here. IMO his form prior to leaving is overpraised by some posters but, even if it hadn't been, it's got to be doubtful that he'd have been able to maintain it if this is how he was feeling all along.
