Adel Taarabt?

Chicken, how about this link then:-

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/42405-arsenal-gunners-due-windfall-from-bentley-move

Or try this one :-

http://www.transferleague.co.uk/premiership-transfers/blackburn-rovers-transfers.html

Transfer fee received by Blackburn for sale of Bentley is shown as £7.5million - i.e. half of the £15million paid by Spurs - where do you think the other half went?.

Or maybe this one, from the Blackburn end, where the Arsenal 50% sell-on clause is freely acknowledged :-

http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/9068623.Release_clause_in_Jones__contract/?action=complain&cid=9413307

So many reports, from so many different places, but all saying the same thing. Have they all made the whole thing up? Or was the sell-on clause one of the worst-kept bits of 'confidential' information in the history of mankind?

And they just keep coming Chicken :-

Couple of Spurs fans here who accept the sell-on clause existed :-

MICE,

Mate, your clutching at straws. Them reports are so vague they make Nostradamus' predictions look miraculously spot on.

Nora Bone (or whatever he/she has changed their name to today) said they were in the Arsenal accounts.

I asked for a link.

And apparently there is no link.

I'm not denying there was a sell-on clause, but no-one in their right mind would accept a 50% one, hence all them links suggest the percentage is "around" X amount, because no-one actually knows.

"no-one in their right mind would accept a 50% one"

Oh really!

MICE,

As i said before, CLUTCHING!

How is it clutching? You make a statement that no-one would agree a 50% sell-on clause, & here is a Club Chairman admitting to theexistence of one.

Here's another:-

And here is a suggestion that Spurs had a 50% sell-on clause added when the flogged Taarabt to QPR :-

MICE,

Again, you're going on speculation, a "suggestion", a "rumour", the fee is "around such & such".

I still haven't received a link to these accounts on arsenal.com.
