I remember watching a program a while ago where a player would only sign for Boston United if they agreed to a clause where, he could only play down hill since Boston's pitch was on a slight slope. If they started down hill, he'd start the game but get brought off at half time and obviously the opposite if they started uphill.

He also wanted a house for him an houses for his family as well as regular plane tickets so he can go back to the Ivory Coast. If you don't ask, you don't get!

To be fair he was supposed to be joining al jazira in abu dhabi.it's not as the people over there are exactly short of a few bob and if they want to develop their league then to get "decent" players (yeah ok gervinho's gash but still better than 99% of their league) then he won't be the first or last to be asking for a few extra incentives.

Similar thing happened at Everton in the 80s. Adrian Heath told my old fella that Neville Southall contract negotiations hit a stumbling block over his demands for the club to pay his wife's shopping bills because he was sick her asking him for money!!! Not quite as ridiculous but at the time I bet it wasn't far off. Fuckin mercianaries the lot of them

By gum old boy, that would get me a transfer. Not one to boast but thr luxury range at Greenwoods would take a hammering if that came true
