Geronimo Rulli

So we are going to buy him for 7m then immediately sell him for about 6m then if he is any good buy him back for about 12m?
Typical city

Yeah,I can see that getting signed off.

So, if he does come back, we're basically paying Sociedad to take him from us for x amount of years?

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

we're up to some fucking nonsense business this window.

Buy for £7.5m, sell for £5.8m, buy back for £11.6m. So we could end up with a player for £13.3m that we bought for £7.5m.

The fuck Txiki?

 

[RandomJ]

Txiki pulling a blinder. Why not loan for 2 years for example?

We loaned Roberts for 18 months without having to sell him and buy him back for twice the money so dunno why we can't do the same here.

 

[PJM1891]

Watch him turn world class, then we activate his clause and he doesn't want to come.

 

[Cobwebcat]

WTF is this?

My first thought was that this is a stupid deal. Then I thought no wait let's have a think about this.

After having a think....this IS a stupid deal.

Can't be correct.

So buy a player, then sell him and then buy him back for twice the money? What idiot came up with that deal?

It's so stupid. If we've been scouting him, we should know whether he's good enough or not. It's either we haven't scouted him enough or we just want to waste money. He's not a kid, he's 24 years of age and I don't see the benefit of having him playing elsewhere for potentially 2 seasons.

 

[jimharri]

So, let me get this right;
we buy a player for x,
loan/sell him to another club, again for x,
then, after 2 years, we buy him back for 2x

Is that (sort of) right?

 

[RandomJ]

Watch him turn world class, then we activate his clause and he doesn't want to come.

That's a good point. What if he just tells us to fuck off when we try activating the buy back clause?

Watch him turn world class, then we activate his clause and he doesn't want to come.

Very good point. What a shit deal. Chelsea loaned Courtois for 2 years, just why cant we do the same?
