Loan with obligation I'm assuming?

Unfortunately not, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Obligation to buy GLC & Ndombele if certain targets achieved, though unclear whether these are player targets (eg appearances) or club targets (eg league position, CL qualification):
Romano: "loan with buy option clause that could become mandatory in case of some targets achieved"
If Villarreal get Argentina GLC and Ligue 1 Fatlad they’ll be a force in Spain.
My guess though is GLC will come good and Fatlad will tease with flashes of brilliance but be overall shite.
Only loan with obligation for GLC, they already tried the merchandise, it's time to pay up now.
This is before a preseason friendly? Fans there are so passionate. I went there when they beat Leicester 1-0 and the whole city was in shambles. I think they do have a pretty good team for the upcoming season.
Playing for your country against predominantly gobshite national teams fill of semi pro's and even amateurs isn't a good measure of how good a player is. Of all the games GLC has played for Argentina, how many were against a Fifa top 20 team? And of those games, how many did he truly play well?
Nah these lot are actual criminals
Absolute clowns.
The thing is, if their board were reckless, what’s that got to do with De Jong? It’s their fault.
"criminality around contract given by old board + cause for legal action vs all involved"
Which would presumably include De Jong's camp.
Could be BS and more FCB fuckery tho'.
Seems like extorsion to me.
It will either be a very cheap transfer or we will cover some of it.
TN: We could give him away for free and the wages would still be an obstacle.
If that was the case and they had genuine evidence, they would terminate his contract.
Instead, it’s intimidatory bullshit. Hope they get liquidated. Club is clearly bankrupt.
Also, let’s get on De Jong.
Nah these lot are actual criminals
If, speculatively, the current Barca board have decided to sue some combo of:
- the former Barca board
- the lawyers & agents for the de Jong deal / contract
- potentially Frenkie de Jong himself
Then that is a clusterfuck of immense proportions.
I can't believe any of these parties, incl the current Barca board, particularly want a legal discovery process where all the documentation, emails, texts, and most of all bungs, enter the public domain.
The end result of such a process is surely some sort of sanction, such as a transfer / signing ban, on Barca now, because the former board was Barca when these deals were done.
The current board can't say "nowt to do with Barca". Although they will of course try.
If has the feel of a crazy game of Russian Roulette as Barca try to sort their fucked up finances, register all the players they've signed, & boot de Jong out of the club.
Gotta be honest, the fact that he's spent all summer simping for them in hope of staying, in spite of his appalling treatment doesn't endear him to me at all.
For 60/70m + a salary that would completely wreck our wage structure I would prefer to look elsewhere......
If i was United, I'd have walked away long ago too.
Or the food bill.
The one benefit of a legal discovery process is they might use it to delay his wages.
The club are in dire straits. Very simply, they do not have enough access to liquid capital. I expect all of these ‘levers’ they talk about are smoke and mirrors as very few companies are just going to hand over 100million plus in hard cash for decade long benefits. Just like Barca, they will want to stagger their payments.
Outrageous that they are allowed to behave like this.
It makes perfect sense, isn't Villareal the team where Spurs flops go to die...only they don't they suddenly become serviceable talent and take them on an epic ECL run...bitch slapping bigger teams on the way? Godspeed to two unlikeable waste-man watch out for said door on departure.
