I'm not a fan of the Ruben Sobrino type ones, they've got nothing to do with Manchester City.
Fair enough, but I'm sure moves like that will be commonplace. It sort of reminds me of major league baseball in the states where parent clubs will buy players for their AAA club to keep them semi-competitive. Older players that would have little chance getting called up to the parent club (ie lifelong minor leaguers). We will want Girona to always be in La Liga and thus will need to help them achieve that with more than just prospects. If I recall we made a tiny profit on Sobrino as well, so a little plus there as well.
