The way I see it, if there really is that 11m dollar release clause (Article 17) then Bremen really don't have a position to deal with us anymore than what we want to offer. If we wanted we could just use Article 17 whether Cobogli said he wouldn't shouldnt matter at this point, we need to be cut throat on the transfer market. Get the players, never mind this gentleman's clause they speak up amongst the big clubs.
Take our offer Bremen, or accept the Article 17 fee...
