Conditional on appearances means he has to get a haircut everyone likes.
If there is a clause you'd assume it will be say 50m as we'd be paying 35m, so he's going to have to have a blinding couple of years and they go backwards for it to be triggered.

I agree he’ll have to be bloody good though. Just wish we’d stop having to sign players with strings attached.
