Geronimo Rulli

[_OVO_]

I think the situation is this. We bought him but sold him to Sociadad but have an option to buy him at a fixed price in the future should we deem him good enough to join us.

I initially thought that was the case . Don't know why but when I saw Rulli being listed as Man City player in Fifa, I thought there is more to it that I am not aware of. Not the best of sources to judge a transfer but It confused me still.

He on loan at Sociedad. Sociedad will buy him in January and then we have buyback clause at £14m I think, should we deem him good enough in the future.

Why didn't we just loan him out instead of selling him ?

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

Possibly because we wouldn't need him for three or four years and if his performances were to merit a move to a major club then we would have the option of landing him at a fixed price rather than £50m+ which couldn't be out of the question the way transfer prices are heading. If he doesn't make it then we can just walk away with very little money lost.

Think there is also a sell on clause,if we don't want him and Sociedad sell him.
From what I read on here and in the media,we either save money or make it...clever deal,IMO.

Don't think he wanted to leave Sociedad yet or be tied to City long term right now. They probably needed some help financially and we saw it all as a win win.

It's a very clever deal on our part.

Please book him a flight for January 1st. We have a certain Chilean keeper that can go in the opposite direction

Can't activate the buyback till summer but looks more like we are going for the Brazilian lad at Benfica

Real Sociedad will complete the €7m signing of Geronimo Rulli from City in January. City will have a €14m buy-back clause until 2018. [AS]

Cancel the deal and bring him in asap. Can't be any worse than Bravo.

I worry that Bravos heart isn't in it. Think he'll be off back to Spain in the summer. Probably best for all parties. I bet we take a bath on his fee! Not sure Geronimo will be turning up at City next Summer - think we need to go for an established keeper who the back 4/3 have confidence in. I'm not calling Bravo out but his shaky performances and erratic behaviour can't be helping.

Someday I hope this deal makes some kind of sense.

We're guaranteed a small profit on the transfer and a sell on percentage for doing nothing if he doesn't work out and if he does work out we get a top keeper for around 12m, what about it doesn't make sense?

I guess it's complex but it gives an option - if he does mature into a good keeper

And if he doesn't we'll make a few million for acting as middleman for Sociedad. Sorted.

Wouldn't it be £6M (€7M)?

It cost us 4 or 5 million to sign him from the Uruguayan club on top of that.
