It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Sales with buy back / sell ons are better than loans.
100%.
They are loans but with:
- certainty for the player to move and develop
- commitment from the buyer as they now have that player contracted so will want them to succeed
- low risk from seller as if the player doesnt develop theyve already cashed in. If they do develop they pay the clause if they are worth it

Wanting to loan a player out rather than sell with (reasonable) buy back is non sensical.

Of course there are ranges to that and selling for £5m with a £50m (for example) is not as good as £10m with a £25m etc.
 
Every young player is pele in the eyes of many on here. And we say united big up youth, Christ
Our academy is producing brilliant footballers, Foden is a key member of the team and the best young midfielder in the world. Palmer is on the brink of a big breakthrough and Mcatee will probably get a look in a season or two. We are more than entitled to big our academy up, it’s the best in the country by a mile. Lavia will do well at Southampton once he settles, I just don’t think he had the chance at City at his current age.
 
Think buy back option are the best

Lavia can properly develop at a team who he can get proper gametime for

If he hits his level we buy him back or sell for a profit

And if he doesn't then we don't miss out, plus we'll likely get a share of the profit as we often put in sell-on clauses
 
There are new rules in relation to loaning players so the sales of the likes of Gyarbi, Bazunu and Lavia are most likely the club getting ahead of the changes.

Not so sure that's the main reason. The new cap won't apply to U21 players, which all the ones the club has recently sold are, so they could still be loaned.

It looks more like the club have changed their strategy and are going for a straight sale with a buy-back rather than a loan. The benefits have already been highlighted by a few, seems to be a good shift.
 
Can anyone be arsed to do a squad list, i can't but would be interested to see how it's looking with the planned sales and arrivals.

Was a thin squad already but feels threadbare now.

Yeah, lets the lads get settled rather than being shipped out year on year or every 6 months if it goes tits up.
