Getting him in January means he can play in the Champions League according to the new rules I think.What does getting him in a straight swap change?
We either get him on a free next summer or we give a nominal fee now to Barca so they can clear his wages for the rest of the season. Next summer is likely I reckon, he probably still hopes Barca will have some fans in the stadium so he can have a farewell by the end of the season.
Not an insignificant advantage particularly given our injury record with strikers in recent times.
