Am I missing something with this!? One of the very best strikers in world football, openly up for grabs, no stupid games just pay what he's worth (and the price is more than reasonable) but no body has snapped him up!?!?

Doetmund said he's not for sale now because it's too late to replace him.
 
Don't see the point in having the loan part when it's compulsory buy like that.
Maybe it's a way to trick thick owners

We want £35m for him.
We will give you £30m
Tell you what, why don't you loan him for a year for £5m and we guarantee to sell him to you for £30m at the end of the loan
Yeah, that sounds fine, it's a deal.

Buying club walks of sniggering "suckers, we just got him for £30m"

Selling club gets half way home then thinks "WTF, we just agreed to a payment structure that only gives us 14% upfront"

So **** yourself for a couple of years and stand still like Everton did a couple of years back? Great plan that

Not necessarily.

You have 60m and have 2 players that you can buy but both together will cost you £70m. However if you don't buy one now they won't be available next summer.

You buy one, loan the other will caveat that you buy next year when have more budget.
 
Yeah but most players want to actually try and achieve something first then go to China or America when they are old and ****.

He's 28 so only maybe has 2/3 years left at the top.

I guess mindset for players from places like Africa and South America is different when it comes to money. Not that they are greedy but that they want to be able to take advantage of their job.

Or you've already spent a massive chunk of next year's budget so your stuck with the same team for two seasons

Too old for FSG.
 
Or you spend next years budget so that this year you can finish in a much better position to raise higher revenues. Forward planning
