Could Pedro Porro be a long-term replacement for Walker?

No, I know what you're saying. I was just saying I haven't seen teams doing that, definitely not us.
And I agreed with that.
I just said, in response to someone’s suggestion ‘that it wouldn’t be allowed as nobody would agree with it’ that it wouldn’t necessarily be precluded as the mechanisms for it were pretty much standard fare.
 
Understanding what you've stated I can't recall a single player of note being bought back on a buy back clause who was then in turn basically "flipped" for a monetary profit. Not just by City, but by anyone else either. Does anyone have an actual example of this happening in recent times?
Think Madrid did it with morata

Didn't we bring Angelino back and then sell him for a considerable profit, that aside I can't recall any others.
 
For instance say if we did trigger the buy back, can Porro object to it, or does he have a say?
Yes, the buy back back just sets the transfer fee. Porro doesn't even have to pick up the phone to his agent if he doesn't want to come here.

Of course this would all be sorted before hand, City aren't going to trigger a transfer fee before they know the lad wants to come.

Angelino?
 
He was registered and played for a year. Isn't the discussion about buying back and then reselling immediately?

It was more the fact we had an option on Angelino with PSV for £7m and only moved because they were getting interest from PSG.

12 months later a sale of £20m certainly suggests the option clauses are worth their weight in gold.
