Just a quick question on terminology, when a person says "Club X has agreed a fee with Y club for Z player" does that refer only to the nominal fee and not the structure of the deal? How is this different to "agreed terms" or "agreed in principle".

Is this a matter of contract law (offer and acceptance, counter offer etc.) or a conceptual thing created by the media?

Hi Samuel, great question. Rather than answer here, I've added this to my list of articles to write - deals in principle vs agreed terms vs agreed fees.

Great article Rob but last time I checked Brentford was in the same country as Chelsea! I think the word 'not' as in 'not in the same country' needs to deleted
