I dont think you understand what an option to buy means
A price will have been agreed and if Baxter accepts our terms Chelsea have no say in the matter

Hence why I asked a question about it. Weird thing to do I know.

However, there are different types of loan to buy: optional, mandatory and probably more.
 
Baxter is in (loan with option to buy)
Traore is in (2 year deal with a further 1 year option)
Figuiredo is in (2 plus one year option also)
Tufan is in (2 plus one year option also) just waiting on international clearances etc

Seri is not done but finances have all been agreed. He is speaking with his family and they will have the final say.

Haji Wright is in discussion but he wants to go somewhere where he will be playing which is a plus for us.

Seconds striker is a secret but sounds like someone who’s a big name, was linked with us in Jan, and will cost some money!

Mentions Honeyman going due to his career ambitions

Wilks looks like staying with us at the moment as we haven’t received a good enough offer. (Obviously they are still open to improved offers)

Cheers :)

Yes but the deal will depend on performance in the coming season

The ball is definitely in our court, it's up to us to complete the deal or not ( depending on performance etc ) and not Chelsea. Terms with Baxter will already be agreed in principle
 
Gutted about George my favourite player of recent times. I don't see from his,record why I should believe Traore will offer more over a 46 game season in one of Europe's toughest leagues but hope I'm wrong. I do feel the team is being broken up too quickly. Really no idea what to expect this season.

Glad to be of help...

They may agree terms beforehand? There are deals where the loaning club are compelled to purchase after the loan agreement expires for an agreed fee.
They will have agreed the terms beforehand.
Have you got an example of a loaning club compelled to purchase? I'm not saying it would never happen but I dont see the point. Why not just buy to begin with? The player terms would have to be agreed as well otherwise the deal could be scuppered by offering the player £1 per year.

I don't think you understand what an obligation to buy means.

someone will correct me but i think we loaned Henriksen with purchase 6 months later - not sure that was an option but part of initial deal

You still haven't produced an example even though you claimed they happen

Obligations just mean that at the end of the loan spell you have to buy the player.

They're used more abroad and are usually done for accounting/FFP purposes. But they are to all intensive purposes, permanent signings as you can't get out of them.

We usually see loans over here have obligatory purchase clauses when an event happens e.g. promotion.

Have you got one example?
 
Interesting on Traore...

"Everyone needs to patient with Adama, he's very talented but he needs to adapt to our league in terms of intensity - He needs to get back in shape"
 
The unnamed striker, linked in January, who said he believed in the project but could be an issue with affording him – sounded to me like Vedat Muriqi

I thought the same too but if we're trying to bring in Wright as our main no.9 as Kesler said, I cant see how you bring in Muriqi too.. Unless Shota is going to change formation this season and play with 2 up top?

Have you got one example?

Erm.. Leeds signed Jean Kevin Augustin on loan the year they went up. If they got promoted, his £20m purchase option turned into an obligatory one.

Maybe not the best example as the case is going to CAS after Leeds refused to pay, stating COVID as the excuse as he didn't finish the season with them (if you remember, you had to extend loans and contracts so they could play). Basically they didn't extend the loan and said that because he wasn't promoted with them, they don't have to take up the option as they said the obligatory purchase clause expired in June

But I can't really think of any in this country as a straight obligatory purchase option is a bit pointless. You might as well just sign him permanently.
