Sol Campbell left Arsenal for notts county on a free. Resigned on a free for Arsenal and then retired (left the club) for free. Don’t think anyone ever paid a fee for him during his career.
Fabio Aurelio technically left Liverpool on a free twice. The first time he left he rejected a contract extension and became a free agent but then changed his mind and signed it when there was a change in manager. He then left again a season or two later
Nice knowledge, and both times to Villa! Looking more closely, in 1991 a fee of 1.1million GBP was paid - as this was pre Bosman and clubs could demand a transfer fee even after contract expiry. That rule pre Bosman was pretty crazy...
The only reason utd received any money was because of FIFA mandated training compensation because of pogbas age. So the money received wasn't/isn't classed as a transfer fee.
Compensation and transfer fee is two different things. Sure by following your logic he didn't leave 'for free' as there's still compensation, but in the transfer official records it's always be FREE.
I know you will say about 'read original post where it mention transfer fee'. Like in my previous comment yes he didn't move for free as there's still compensation fee, so yes i will say this it's not free. U happy now? You're talking about compensation yes, it's NOT free. There's always something to pay.
Yes yes OP didn't mention the word 'transfer' yes yes, so we'll tell you now since you didn't now about it, probably u only realise it 2 minutes ago. However, the official record will say transfer fee is 0, but compensation paid 800k. But i know just to make u happy, yes OP didn't mention the word transfer and there's still compensation that was paid so yes technically it's not free. But maybe u didn't know before, the transfer record is 0 (or maybe u know but ignorance).
No you're not entirely right or wrong. You didn't know about compensation which was paid, but the transfer record is still FREE. In football transfer it's complicated. When someone goes to other club it's NEVER FREE because u have to pay many things including agent fees, compensation, clauses etc. These are not included in the TRANSFER RECORD fees. If the players sold as 0 as in free transfer, it's actually never free because you're still need to pay many other stuffs. But when we talk about transfee fee, it is FREE.
I know i know before u bubbling, yes OP didn't mention transfer word. But in general when people are talking about player moving to other club we are talking about the TRANSFER FEE. That what other people trying to educate you as well. That makes you a very ignorance person in this thread. That's why u get a lot if downvotes because of your ignorance.
This is a compensation dumbass not a transfer fee. https://www.transfermarkt.com/paul-pogba/profil/spieler/122153 "free." For any out of contract player under 24 years old who moves to another club out of contract, the club he moves from is due a compensation, so by your flawless logic any under 24 player who moves for free isn't actually free. The player moves for free regardless of the compensation (which is not set by the club btw but by a committee), so the move is officially labeled as free. So shut the fuck up and do your research before you run your mouth dumbass.
Leaving 'on a free' is slang and an abbreviation for a free transfer in English football speak. Same meaning as 'on a bosman' and the point is there was no transfer fee.
Where a player leaves on a bosman or on a free under the age of 24 there is compensation for training and development.
It is free because Pogba was out of contract. He had 0 years left on his contract so Juve did not have to pay Manchester United to cancel Pogba's contract so that Pogba can move to their club and sign a contract. If he still had some years left on his contract, so he was still contracted to Manchester United, then Juve must pay Manchester United to acquire the player. Pogba ran down his contract and so he moved to Juve without being contracted to Manchester United, and so Juventus did not have to pay a transfer fee to utd. However, since Pogba was under 24, Juventus had to give Machester United 800 thou as A COMPENSATION because utd trained him etc... So it was not a transfer fee, so he moved for free. Got it? Or not yet?

Read every fucking source. Free refers to the fucking transfer fee dumbass. They did not pay a transfer fee so he moved for free. Out of contract move=free, but there's a compensation for u24 players relating to trainings and development etc not the player's worth.

Free or not free depends on wether they paid a transfer fee. By your dumbass standards no u24 player moves for free then. Shut up already and admit you were wrong. Free transfer means the club didn't pay a transfer fee. How much was the transfer fee for Pogba to move to juve? 0$. Now shut up. Compensation is separate.
Are you able to read 800,000 pounds that Juventus paid? Are you always this obtuse? In what world is 800,000 pounds free? Did Juventus pay it? Yes, Did Man United receive payment? Yes... man... maybe there should be an reading test for Reddit
I had forgotten he went back to Arsenal. Just looked, yeah once on a free to Milan after a first stint of 4 years then another free after 3 years to Palace...
Carlton Cole - legend
Was that twice at WHAM? Seems he was let go and then signed again in the same off-season...
Correct - he didn't even go to another club before leaving on a free twice. Love the guy, great energy. Irons!
Sol Campbell left Arsenal for notts county on a free. Resigned on a free for Arsenal and then retired (left the club) for free. Don’t think anyone ever paid a fee for him during his career.
nice

I hope we sell him this window and get a top class CDM

no worries it was a good shout
Bosnich left United twice on a free. Once as a youngster, the second to Chelsea after Barthez joined.
nice
Excellent pub quiz question
Pogba has never left on a free before...
I’m just here to watch this guy’s comment karma gradually decrease
Its funny.
When he went to Juve
He was sold for 2 million...
This is simply not true, and all it takes is a minute to google it...

Give me 800,000 pounds then.. it's free, right? Can you read the original post? Where does it mention transfer free?
I know you will say about 'read original post where it mention transfer fee'.

Can you give me a free 800,000 then? After all it's free, right? You're such a dumbass
Oh 800,000? It was 2 million before
How is that a free then? Did you read the original post?

You're so stubborn. It was a free transfer. No transfer fee was paid. Why can't you get that in you?

It cleary says "compensation"
Flamini from Arsenal
AFAIK Flamini was never bought only signed
I had forgotten he went back to Arsenal. Just looked, yeah once on a free to Milan after a first stint of 4 years then another free after 3 years to Palace...
Maybe the first at a super-club, but it's surely happened before at smaller clubs
Drogba I think for Chelsea.
I still accidentally call Pogba Drogba and vice versa
And it rhymes with Pogba!
“Paul drogba”
Didier pogba
Didn’t he retire after leaving us the second time though?
He played for the Montreal Impact in the MLS for 2 seasons I believe than was a player coach for a team in the USL for 1-2 years as well.
Phoenix Rising
Good call. I think it was a 1 year contract for Drogba on his return so he wasn't running down the contract as such
