I haven't seen a thread for this yet, so thought I'd start one to see how people are fixing it.
I've done a lot of reading and searches on the forums today, and have seen numerous references to there being a problem with Diarra (similar to Defoe's) but have been unable to spot a workaround for this.
So, please help those who are wondering, if you know how to do it.

If you want to keep the clauses but want Arsenal to get the funds then do this.
Open the Editor, this will be in your game root directory.
Load the "8.0.2 Update" database.
Select Clubs
In the filter type "Portsmouth" and press enter.
Double click "Portsmouth"
In the left sided menu click on "Finances"
In the tabs across the top chose "Contract Clauses 2"
Now look down and where you see Lassana Diarra's contract clauses you'll see they are being paid to Chelsea.
Click on the Magnifying glass next to the name and type Arsenal into the filter.
Double Click Arsenal
Do this for all Diarra's clauses.
While you're in there fix Jermain Defoe as well.
Scroll down to his name.
Where it has 1000000 look to the right to where it says "per league appearance" left click this button and change it to "after league appearance"
Save the database (call it something you'll remember) and when you start a new game select that database.

Enjoy.
Brilliant. Thank you Steve, and for the fine detail too.
By the way, this financial bug that affects the Turkish leagues (Fenerbahce and Galatasaray is it?), is that something that can be fixed in the data editor or is it hard-coded?
