Transfers January Transfer Thread 24/25

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Are you sure this is right, it sounds to me like you're describing a loan here and not a loan with an option.
It's wrong.
Key points about "option to buy" loans:
  • Choice lies with the loaning club:
    The club that has the player on loan decides whether to activate the option to buy or not.

  • No obligation to sell:
    The parent club is not obligated to sell the player even if the option to buy is triggered, they can still choose to not sell.
That's not right at all, where are you getting this from?

Obligation = both clubs committed

Option = Selling club committed, buying club decides.

You're literally just describing a "dry" loan. In your scenario what exactly do you think the option entails? The right to make a bid that the selling club can decide to reject if they want? So just like everyone else then?
 
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
What a concise and levelled reply, you must be new here
 
We win Europa League and have Champs league next year then Tel will happily come. We win basically anything that gives us some form of European football and he stays.

All subject to whatever we do with the manager of course.
 
Tel over the line, you what?

:kaneear:

An option to buy included in the deal, excuse me?

:levywhoa:

No words today lads, just sign the form please

You don't need to reply to me, I will just ignore it however can we stop doubting the bald magician, it's getting beyond tiring now, thanking you.

Never change, you unhinged bastard.
 
Okay window, 5/10

Lack of centre back options is a big worry and is the reason for the low rating.

- Unknown quantity in Danso who will surely take time to bed in having come from the relatively pedestrian French league. The solace here is that he does have experience in the English academy system, speaks good English, and seems like a strong and bold character.

- Gentle Ben the club stalwart, eternally underrated and had a very solid 90 against Brentford at left centre back still regaining fitness after a long injury.

- The young enigma Archie Gray, has done a brilliant job but can we really rely on an out-of-position 18 year old in major cup knockout matches? Remains to be seen, has done nothing so far to make me doubt his quality and determination.

- Micky who when available is a top 3 squad player, but how much game time will he actually get this season? This injury seems to be a significant problem.

- Romero with a mystery injury and has gone very quiet on socials, whole thing reeks of a summer transfer to Spain. May not see him again this season, who knows at this point.

- Radu not back until next season

So, we currently have 2 fit centre backs with help from Archie (who isn’t a centre back). Sorry but are we fucked? These guys will be playing twice a week, I’m pretty concerned.

Maybe I'm wrong. I just googled the rules. From what I understand the parent club and the player have a say as to if finaliste pre-agreed deal. Are you absolutely sure that is not the case?

Id say 5 or 6. Again no experienced heads. But Tel is a coup and Kinsky looks decent so far.

Problem for me is we didnt get a new manager.
