[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 884257, member: 55747"] I was just thinking about Messi's clause and it got me thinking. Context: allegedly, Messi included a clause in his latest contract where, if Barcelona cannot participate in the top league of Spain, France, Germany or England, he is a free agent. On paper it looks like one of those ridiculous situations that could never happen, except the spanish footie assoc implied that if Catalunya became independent, Barcelona wouldnt be able to participate in the Spanish competition (that's not necessarily true but they are probably using it as leverage). It's basically a risk that the player doesn't want to take so he puts a clause to mitigate it. I was picturing a similar situation while negotiating a contract between UAR and player. UAR: so, we've agreed on everything, lets close the deal Player: Yeah, about that. I was thinking about something. UAR: What now.... Player: Well, following up on what you said, it should be nothing, a mere formality. UAR: ok, let's hear it... Player: Well, you assured me that players from Europe couldn't play for Pumas, and since i'm staying, that's kinda good for me. UAR: Right. Player: Well, i'd like that in writing please. Specifically, i'd like a clause where i get compensated if that changes. UAR: What? Player: yes, you assure me of something, so why not putting it in the contract? If you are that sure, this changes nothing for you, and it makes me feel better. UAR: That's not how it works. Player: So you are telling me that you cannot put in a contract what you pretty much promised me verbally? UAR: you shouldn't look at it that way Player: i don't tell you how to look at it, please don't tell me how to look at it. UAR: not what i meant. Player: well, i am the one "believing" you UAR: yes, so? Player: well, you've screwed Jaguares players in 2018, so i'd like to cover my bases. UAR: not happening Player: That's speaks volumes of how much your word is worth. Racing 92/Leicester, here i come then. I'll send you a postcard. ---------------------- Not gonna happen, but it should. It would actually make more sense here than in Messi's case. Barcelona FC doesn't control whether Catalunya becomes independent or not. UAR does control who plays for Pumas. I digress.... a lot. [/QUOTE]
