Loan with an arranged fee and agreement to buy?What I can't understand is how we can sign Regan permanently as Sheffield United always wanted a nominal fee for him.

Few crossed wires.
Baz in the HDM Q&A seems to think that we won't spend money this window and that the embargo is still in place.
He also thinks the Hugill one is a goer.

I don't think big money will be spent, no. I know players are being linked for significant amounts, but from what I've been told at this stage in January, there won't be a flurry of cash shelled out. I also think there's a really fine balance to be struck here.
City have a very tight squad, they have one which operates under a certain wage structure within the budget, a budget we know to be one of the smallest in the league. If Ilicali starts bringing in players on bigger salaries, that, like or not, is going to cause friction within the dressing room.
This has to be a carefully thought out process otherwise you risk upsetting what is a very stable place.
On the embargo, that appears to be a murky area and I'm trying to get to the bottom of it because I've heard various different things and not one concrete answer. As I understand it, at this stage, nothing has changed and it remains in place as of 11:19am on January 21, 2022.
Not exactly what he said, to be fair.
That doesn't say we won't spend money, just not big money. As to the embargo:

we’ve gone from a famine to a feast. Love it.I read something the last time we were signing him, about a way around the fee, the way Sheffield structured it or maybe I was asleep and dreamt the bloody thing.The fact a few have said there's credibility in the Pesic link in particular makes me think there's something being lost in translation if Baz is being told we aren't doing anything crazy and the embargo is still in place.
How is Slater having a medical if it is?

Been reported by both ends as a permanent.
What's big money thouggh? Sky and Mike White believe there's something in Pesic but £3m is big money. There's several high profile Turkish Sources which believe the deals are done for both strikers.
It would seem bizarre to spend good money buying a club to leave it under a transfer embargo

This is what I don't get. We can't sign Slater permanently unless we pay a small fee. If we're under an embargo we can't and they won't release him as other clubs want him and will pay a fee.
Although Baz said we were signing Sims and Aydogan, yet looking at the work permit rules, there was zero chance of Aydogan getting a work permit. And the Sims stuff has gone silent
This is all confusing as ****! I thought the EFL loan had been repaid as part of the takeover??
I thought we were free to sign any player we choose?

Was that Japanese midfielder we were linked with for 5 million just nonsense or was there actually something in it? Not heard anything about him for a while now.

Shame, sounded like a good player, thanks.There was a genuine interest but has since been dropped.
