Why would Real have to pay double the release clause?

I didnt say theyd pay double, I said they'd pay close to double (sort of). Make of this what you will. I hope its reliable.

Well, first of all, the buy-out clause only applies to Spanish clubs.

Secondly, the figure is symbolic. The buy-out clause is a gentlemen’s agreement, but if a club refuses to sell, they can increase the price and almost double it. There are two ways to go about this.

1) In Agüero’s case, Atlético could hold out for €45m after taxes, which means 18% VAT has to be added to the transfer fee. This would increase Kun’s overall price to €53m.

2) Technically a player has to pay his own buy-out clause. In this scenario a club would transfer the money to Agüero’s bank account, and he would then pay Atlético the money. However, as soon as Kun receives the money, it counts as income and he would have to pay 44% on taxes. So a club would have to hand our Argentine €80m before he’s able to buy out his own contract.

As you can see, Atlético has a stronger position in negotiations than most of us had originally thought. If we want, we can play hardball. When a foreign club comes knocking we can demand whatever fee we deem appropriate, while Real Madrid could be forced to pay up to €80m.

Even if we do get him, could Aguero really be that much of a boost to get us to the Champions League? After all, in defense we are only an injury or two away from suicide. Again.

Well I think the idea is that by improving the team in front of them they won't be exposed to so much pressure and the fullbacks won't be caught of position so much this season etc.

Lets say we buy Aguero for 40 million and Vidal for 15-20 million or something. Adding that to the 10 we spent on Lichtsteiner that would be 70 million. Would we even have any money left to invest? I'm just really worried about the defense. We still have Motta D:

That's a legitimate concern. I agree, we aren't focusing enough on defense.
