Will go to Saudi. Plutonic plates are shifting, they will drive a hostile takeover of the World Cup, CL or PL within a year. Suspect it will be the CL that cave and clubs go there for a super league, matches played in the desert on a Friday AM before prayers
Surprised we haven't seen more links to Itakura. Japanese, CB, BASE agency...ticks all the boxes
Interesting that his personal terms were agreed a month ago, but the actual signing is only taking place now.
It just highlights that these deals aren't as cut and dried as many think, no matter how big the club.
It seems like an extended loan to me, with the buy back clause there.
If he makes the step up and realises his potential, City just buy him back at a reduced sum for a Prem ready talent. If he fails, they just trouser the fee.
I always thought that but Lavia loan /sale seems to look like it's ffp rather than a loan
Yeah, there's likely multiple reasons for it, but it feels like they're hedging their bets to me.
Helps with FFP in the short term, gets a talented youngster valuable minutes, let's them see how he develops over the course of a contract. If his development goes as they hope, they can then buy him back at a much reduced rate to what others would have to pay.
There's also the incentive for the player. Settled into a contract, but with the lure of playing for the best team in the World if he performs well.
I actually think it's a very smart strategy
I hate the strategy but City tend to have a high buyback which makes it a bit more palatable
Love it or hate it, it's a very smart strategy over the long term.
I'd love for us to be in a position where we could do the same.
I hope They regulate it away, similar to fuck tons of loans it's a way to hoard players
Why aren’t we in for him with those numbers?! Buy back, effectively a loan.
Salisu is a player who flashes in advanced metrics but the eye test is ugly.
happy we got this one done. Think we're still after another attacker & that might be João Félix
thats ambition for you, cracking signing would of taken him over kulu
Were you one of those Spurs fans who wet the bed because Villa signed Coutinho that time too?
No-one is saying he will be an absolute success, it’s the more the way they are showing ambition and quietly and quickly closing deals for weak areas
