If a football club has an "option to buy" on a player but the player doesn't want to join them, the club cannot force the transfer; the player has the right to choose where they want to play, and the club can only proceed with the transfer if the player agrees to the move

The loaning club has the right to purchase the player permanently at a pre-determined price at the end of the loan period, but if the parent club (the club that owns the player) doesn't want to sell, the loaning club cannot force them to do so; they must simply return the player at the end of the loan period

That's not how it works mate.....

It acts like a buyout clause... Player can decline; but selling club is committed to the deal if triggered.
 
A lot of PR and deadline day fireworks, but when you strip back the bullshit, still a very meh window.

Kinsky - good signing.

Danso - seems solid. Cheap and cheerful squad player but should (and most certainly could) have been signed in the first couple of days of the window.

Tel - promising young player that will hopefully help us now and be a long term replacement for Son, but Levy/Lange were seemingly spared their blushes by Ange taking it upon himself to contact him and clean up the mess them two muppets made of convincing him to sign.

It’s bodies in the door and hopefully they all are able to provide the help Ange has been crying out for for what seems like an eternity, but all in all it was another classic ENIC shit show window, with no plan or strategy of any description evident.

We're missing one CB, but honestly not a bad window.

That’s the same old issue. Still left the manager short.

Despite the unprecedented situation took way too long to move in the market. Disappointing. I don’t even think they do Danso if Drag was not injured. So the next + is what ?

Tel seems to be getting liked, so will assume that was a decent deal.

To be honest, it’s impossible to know what is and what is not incorporated into any given contract. There could be all sorts of exceptions.

For example (and jokes aside), what happens if Tel is injured in the time he is with us. What strikes me as odd about what is being presented is that we get all of the benefit (a look at the player, a fixed price) *and* a unilateral right to purchase the player.

That would surprise me. If I had to guess at what seems more realistic, I think we have fixed the price, Tel and ourselves have agreed the terms, but *both* parties need to agree to the option this Summer. In practise, I think that gets you most of the way there.

I actually like the fact we’re not tied in.
