Angelino

[Delphinho]

No he's on an option to buy

Harrison at Leeds is on an obligation to buy.

Both are obligation to buy

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Both are obligation to bu

Didn't realise that.
Thought it was the same deal as last year with Angelino only we had dropped the price.
Angelino was an option to buy but they didn't take the option and thats why he returned to us.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Surely if the player decides his future his here,then he returns?

There has to be something with Angelino that we're not aware of. Not necessarily anything bad, but there has to be a reason why the club don't seem keen on him.

I personally think Angelino just rather fancied his chances elsewhere and isn't interested in being a potential non-starting player here.

 

[Dirty Harry]

I challenge you that ZInchenko is a better fit for us than Angelino.
However a shopping trolley with a wonky wheel would be an upgrade to Mendy.

Agreed :-)

Never no doubt in my mind he was only bought back to be resold once PSG were willing to pay £25 million for him.

 

[domalino]

I don't think any of the rumoured replacements are better than him.

No - these obligations to buy in a loan contract are legally solid. If its an obligation to buy then the player is basically sold its just an accounting wheeze to shift the cost / amortisation down the road.

Cash in the bank for Haaland incoming hopefully!

 

[Centurions]

I'm far (very far) from an accounting whizz, but I wonder if us loaning him out with an obligation to buy was long term strategy from City?

So, we sold him, bought him back, will sell him, with an option to buy, to... sell him again?

Definitely accounting purposes from both sides I think. Was definitely a less common deal though all round, with him having to make 6 appearences or whatever it was in the second part of the season. It was very specific. I guess covers RB if he breaks his leg the first game of the season but then it would fuck us over as he comes back to the club. Worked out well for all teams though.

Yep, and adds £16mill to the pot just when it looks like we need to go big for a striker.

Purely coincidental though :)

Its a big advantage for the buying club to do it that was as they have the insurance built in around an early injury. Big injury - dont play - option isnt triggered - no loss.

But that will be baked into the price. The offer might have been £10m straight deal or £16m via the option. We can take a bit of risk on this and if it helped get it done it makes sense.

 

[Erling Haaland's Eyebrows]

Angelino started tonight, so £16m triggered

yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Good luck to the lad, never quite worked out for him during his spells with City, but we made a few quid on him, and in return helped develop him into a good player.

 

[WallyA]

Man we really suck at selling these players, so many clubs would have paid ATLEAST 30m for him.

Denayer is killing it at Lyon (often rated the best CB in Ligue 1).

Tosin is already playing for a premier league team and fans say he is doing quite well.

Barely anything for these 3 players (who are roughly the same age group from years ago).

Usual nonsense.

Where are all these club shelling out 30m for him? Did Txiki turn down those offers and delibrately choose Leipzig?

Denayer, major attitude issues, shit on all his loan spells and we got 9m for him.

Tosin, cheap deal but hardly anyone else falling over themselves to give us more money and we let him to go a team that could let him start and develop.
