If it's a concrete obligation then okay, great opportunity for the player and eventually a decent fee for us, still not ideal though. But any way they can get out of it makes it a no-go for me, just puts us in a weaker position if he does come back, one year less on his contract and deemed not good enough for the top level.

Would need to be a healthy loan fee for us to even entertain it.

They can **** right off. Any deal this summer has to be a permanent deal. Barça are in the **** financially. What they’ll do, and what they’ve done before with deals like this, is loan him in as a stop-gap with no intention of exercising the permanent deal.

Yep
Its a stopgap till they get williams

And if philo somehow has a worldie season
They can buy him guaranteed
Or send him back
 
Reports from Spain saying it's a loan with an obligation to buy, with us receiving €20-23m depending on appearances.

Except you can guarantee theyd not play him to stop the obligation if he wasnt playing amazing

Its a low risk high reward
For them

He either does amazing and they get a top winger cheap
Or they send him back without activating the clause

Doesn’t help us now though. We lose a key player and don’t even receive the much-needed funds for a massive rebuild this summer. Also, €20-23 million is a crap fee anyway. The exchange rate to sterling would be £16.94-19.48 million, which is well below what we should be demanding for him given Hutchinson has joined Ipswich for more and Philogene had a better season.

It’s an obligation, so we get the lower amount even if they never played him, the appearances only triggers the extra €3m.
