KansasFox Posted 16 September 2020 Share Posted 16 September 2020 4 minutes ago, Mickyblueeyes said: Yes, not to go all legal nerd on you guys but there is three ways this could work: 1. We’ve signed the lad permanently on completion. The “loan” is simply to ease the cash flow from us to them; 2. We’ve loaned, with an option to buy at a fix fee. There will be a time limit on when we can trigger that option before it expires - the fee is fixed; 3. We’ve agreed a loan and agreed a fee with an option same principles as 2. However; we are obligated to buy on a trigger event (a number of performances etc.). Based on the reports, it looks like it’s option one. Maybe this is about st ettiene wanting more upfront for Fofana. most transfers are done by installments, but if they are playing hardball on how much they want upfront, doing this on a loan to buy makes Fofana possible? If that;s the case these could both speed up and be done in the next few days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannythefox Posted 16 September 2020 Share Posted 16 September 2020 Great on our part with an option to buy hope he does well and we end up signing him only 23 as well I thought he was older than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collymore Posted 16 September 2020 Share Posted 16 September 2020 I really don't understand the loan fee and then commitment. It's basically the same as buying him permanently isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but we can defer the final cost and maybe Roma get most/all of the fee next year rather than in longer term instalments, but just guessing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mint23 Posted 16 September 2020 Share Posted 16 September 2020 What I don’t really get with loan to buy agreements is what happens if he has an amazing season for us, scores and assists in double figures, can the fee then go up or can one of the big boys come in with a better offer and we lose him?

Not the best performance tbh, although it is against real madrid. im sure he'll be a lot more capable against lesser opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Fixed fee for us. Up to Roma if another club comes in with an offer worth accepting I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It passes the burden of paying the transfer fee on to next season while getting him now, makes sense given we need atleast a cb in after him and have an extra competition to play in 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not right, it means we're obligated to buy at the agreed price and Roma are obligated to sell. No cherry picking for Roma if he has a 20 goals, 20 assist season and Real Madrid are willing to pay £200m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
