We have 16 million reasons to start Jones in 12 matches.
There is never a reason to start Jones.

Nope that will surely be correct. It depends on the contract but it seems crazy to think he would 'need' a medical if he's been playing for you already all season. Selling club shouldn't agree to that as it's open to abuse for the buying club.
But he has already had his medical. After 25 games he is our player so wont need to have one. Or am i just being stupid?

No I think you're right mate, once the 25 games have triggered the purchase we'd have to pay up even if he gets carried off by an eagle never to be seen again. Knowing us no doubt we'd try to fight it (the obligation not the eagle) and make ourselves look like amateurs in the process.
He's been right about this sort of stuff in the past. Knows people who know people! He's rarely been wrong thoughIf anybody knows it'd be him![]()
Emerson Thome? (Anyone else remember him) - 1 game short of us having to pay Chelsea an extra £1m and he never played again!I can see a scenario where he plays his 24th game then gets banished to the reserves for some 'unknown' reason.

But what happens if he plays 25 games and, god forbid, gets hit by a bus and is killed. Do we still have to buy him?

Didn't Newcastle do that with a player last season they had on loan?
Anyway, Manquillo seems a decent RB, I'd say he's good enough right now, to start for a PL team. He had an ok season at Marseille, they had a poor season, every game they seemed to draw, bit like you lot a couple of years back.
It's hard to tell how they'll adapt from L1 to EPL, many fail miserably as Newcastle know, and others triumph almost instantly, as you lot know.
Probably - Big Mike's reason!!Season before we didn't play Gutierrez much after returning from injury because apparently it triggered an extra year on his contract. You get that quite a bit though, recall Jason Roberts doing 606 hosting duties a few years back as he was 'off' for the rest of the season as the club had told him he wouldn't be playing for them again as it would trigger a new contract.
Not sure we had any loan players last season, apart from Remy we've not really done loans that I can recall - no resale value I guess.

Doumbia... was there not a clause stating if he played you signed him?

I've got a mate who's an accountant at Leeds. Deals with club finances and still doesn't have a fecking clue about signings until after the fact.
