Yes, we Pooh poohed the idea.Buy backs clauses are a whitewash
We might put them in every sale of academy player but I don't think we are ever gonna Tigger one
Buy backs are only any use if when activated the player wants to come back.'Reworked offer' = buy back?
Eeyore taking the piss now.Yes, we Pooh poohed the idea.
Does anyone know where details of the Sane transfer can be found? like all of the included addons and clauses in Sanes transfer? It would be a good deal to offset some of them with this transfer if in anyway possible as I remember seeing some of the clauses/addons amd always thought that some would create Schalke a lot of money over said contract.
What I read at the time 37m sane cost no add ons of note was reported.
Sorry I’m not sure I completely worded that correctly but I’m pretty sure every time we win the league while he’s a city player we have to pay them £1 million or something and for the champions league final it was £1 million? And so on or something like that although I’m not 100% on that.

We did try to activate buyback on Rulli but he declined to be a no. 2 as it was a world cup year whether he was contractually obligated i don't know but we asked he said no and that was that.Not how buybacks work actually. This has been pointed out many times on here. See Real buying back Morata when he wanted to stay at Juve for example.
We haven’t activated any of the buyback clauses because most of the players we sold aren’t good enough. G.Rulli, Iheanacho, E.Unal, Maffeo and many others all have buyback clauses in there deals and none of them are even remotely close to good enough. Imo Angelino could be the exception but all signs point to us going out and buying another expensive LB.

So 47m max for sane is small change for a player if his calibre.
I'd have bought the lad at £74m. Still a bargain!
Its a great investment, I wonder what he's worth in today's market ?So 47m max for sane is small change for a player if his calibre.
If Transfermarkt are anything close to accurate then they've got him listed as £100 million, Raheem at £120 mill and De Bruyne at £150 million.Its a great investment, I wonder what he's worth in today's market ?
