Madrid don't actually own half of his contract afaik, just have a 50% sell on. I suppose they could have offered to drop the 50% sell on fee. Making the transfer much cheaper for us, and asked in return that we put a 1 year option to buy for a set fee.. Can't see it happening though.

TBG Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Least we'll have something to hound out Wilson over this time next year. The man was starting to look somewhat competent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawalls Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 If it's true id genuinely walk away or at least threaten to, first refusal is one thing so they can get him when we want to sell but the option to simply take him and unsettle us if we have a good season. But for me like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Relax lads we're not Osasuna. The buyback will probably be for 2x the price we paid for him. They're just covering their arses should Chelsea come with a £100M bid after a year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only have two possible options. Offer to drop their 50% sell on fee so we only pay half. Or threaten to activate their current buyback. But would the player even be interested in going back their if it only started as a threat against us? Just don't see how they get this clause in there.

TRon Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Could effectively turn out to be a one season loan then. Madrid would do well out of it, he'd be getting some great experience against physical defences while he was over here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my humble mind they'd get first option at a fixed price if we chose to sell next summer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 So we could buy him for £30m, if he's mint, they'll buy him for £30m then probably try to sell him for £50m? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally it's means the club have to be offered the player first at whatever fee another team has offered. If it's that for 1 year I can believe they might get that clause in there. Just to avoid the trouble of Madrid activating their current buy back clause. Edited June 14 by Teasy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point seems like every club in the planet seems to have an in depth understanding of buy backs, release clauses, sell-ons and sexual favours upon a certain amount of appearances being reached. Apart from us when it came to the swap deal with Anderson and Vlachydimos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So their only leverage is to threaten to active their buy back. Which the player could just reject anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 44 minutes ago, Nine said: We had a plan last summer to, I just think this summers plan has seen us pivot to more achievable/affordable targets. The question is if that’s because we overspent last summer on players who have not yet delivered on their price tags and are now forced to shop in the bracket below, or if it’s totally by design.. I was more talking about how it felt last summer, when it seemed like one protracted pursuit after the other. Well, from the outside anyway that's how it felt to me as if there wasn't the experienced structure behind the scenes there to make signings. Which to me suggests a more savvy approach, rather than my comment being about the profile of who we were targeting specifically. But yes, it might be a bit of that too in terms of the players we are going for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
