Any day, you can walk down Whitefriargate in peace. Last time I walked down Las Ramblas I had a hair braid, 3 wrist bands, a marijuana bandana and a cartoon drawing of myself by the time I’d reached the other end.
Don’t forget the henna tattoos a must in that part of the world…
 
I don't understand what you mean by "spread"? We lose him this year and gain no benefit.

FFP benefit is in a single year at the point of sale.

As far as I understand it, “loan with an obligation to buy” is considered as a permanent transfer for FFP so the selling club get the full amount immediately (and the buying club start the amortisation for FFP immediately as well).

I don't believe so because that wasn't the case with Giles. Clubs set up deals as loan with an obligation specifically to defer FFP implications.

Could be different for January transfers I guess, but that's how it works for summer ones I believe. Otherwise why would selling clubs ever agree to it?

Selling clubs would agree to it to get big wages off their books with players they don't want to keep. It's why you see it predominently with the big clubs.

If you have a source I'd love to see it because there aren't (as far as I'm aware) different financial rules depending on the window.

Loan of a player from the lender club to the new club with an unconditional obligation to buy:

a. The loan must be reflected by the lender club as a permanent transfer and the player’s registration rights must be derecognised from its intangible assets. The proceeds from the loan and from the future permanent transfer must be recognised from the inception of the loan agreement.
b. The directly attributable costs of the loan and the future permanent transfer for the new club must be recognised by the new club in accordance with the accounting requirements for permanent acquisition of a player’s registration.
 
And even if it's a conditional obligation to buy:

Loan of a player from the lender club to the new club with a conditional obligation to buy:

a. If a condition is considered to be virtually certain, then the player’s registration must be recognised by both clubs as a permanent transfer from the inception of the loan agreement.
b. If the fulfilment of a condition cannot be assessed with sufficient certainty to trigger the permanent transfer from the inception of the loan, then the player’s registration must be recognised first as a loan and then as a permanent transfer once the condition is met.
