Wasn’t the GLC’s loan the first signing to follow a loan with an obligation to buy. Wasn’t it to avoid a sell-on clause or some sort of payment deferral?

Had no idea about this fracture....... They were reporting a big gash in his foot during the SK tour.
Ahhh, bollocks.

In some ways, I would say fuck him. Don’t let him train so he misses the World Cup.
Yes- we were trying to avoid having them upcharge us for needing to pay on a big % of next sale fee to PSG. The loan was only nominal- GLC as far as I know was always meant to be a permanent purchase. I believe the fee was obligated, never an option.
Yup, knew it was something like that. We never had the option to cancel it. We took it up and hoped poch would get the best out of him. It didn’t work out, and him fecking off for international duty really didn’t help his cause. Didn’t really have the fans behind him from that point. Kinda turned me against him a bit tbh. Sure I wasn’t alone and he felt that on the pitch and from the rest of the team. Selfish
If you're talking financially, then it was far from nominal..... It was £12m. The whole point was to wrap as much cash up in the loan fee as little as poss had to passed over to PSG.
The broader intent was always for the deal to become permanent, but the option function within the deal was entirely legitimate..... We could have chosen to walk away; albeit being left to reconcile a crazy priced short-term loan.
That's incorrect. We did..... Otherwise the whole fee dodge/PSG aspect wouldn't have worked as designed.
........It would have just essentially been a staggered payment; all of which PSG would have been able to apply their sell-on clause against.
Hmm I recall it being a loan with obligation to purchase but maybe I never learned the full story to it. I thought it was like 5m upfront with 35m obligated the next summer. Anyways- yes meant "nominal" as in name only.
Why would he want a permanent sale when he gets to play in a top five league for a UCL contender on his current salary?

Touche indeedWho are you calling portly, streaky bacon?
He’s not fully blind, partially sighted from ROP - he was born 6weeks (I think) premature, in an age when it was not yet understood that giving 100% Saturation of Oxygen damages the delicate vessels which nourish retinal formation.
My Mum saw him live when he was 16, said he was mesmerising.

I guess he's coming back then because there is no way in fuck they are qualifying for the champions league.
I mean they finished 3rd last year... I don't see why they wouldn't. They have a good enough squad and made some good summer signings too.
