He has an agent so I'm guessing he didn't sort it himself, but either way both financially and for his career, he's better off with this move, his a great kid and hopefully he can kick on and enjoy a good career.
Messi helped cause it if you remember his contract shenanigans last season. Croc tears mate. Any other business would have been wound up trading off those figures - if not for the political climate of Catalonia combined with the madness of Football. Still. This is only the start of it for Barca I fear.
I do wonder why, if clubs want him on loan as a striker... And McCann really rates him as a striker... And we signed him as a striker... And everyone says his best position is as a striker... We've never bleedin' played him as a striker?
Maybe we can run things as well when the money is raised to buy City and make us a fan owned club like them?
I was very pleased with the signings we made early on in the transfer window and thought we were seeing the makings of a real good season here. I know we are talking about half a mill in this loan but it’s hamstringing us to the point of disrupting the process of team building. I know we might get Hudds back and all round I think he will be a huge asset to the club but we still need another centre back and a centre forward. A couple of injuries in the wrong positions and we will be in a bit of a pickle. Surely the club can finance the loan somewhere else. This is one hell of a gamble.
Tbf he's been wanted by hibs all summer, if they can sort out the agent situation then he'll be heading up there
