I didnt understand, you know FOR SURE that we made this BuyBack deal? how do you know that?

it would have been cheaper and much less hassle to have kept Jack Cork ...an U21 international with PL experience

sooo true .

Don't be daft, just because you haven't seen it online somewhere doesn't mean it isn't true. It is in line with the Bojan transfer and is likely to be Barcelona's new policy on all youngsters leaving the club. You're smarter than this, thinking that we have essentially entered into an agreement were we have our hands tied behind our backs. The club has lawyers, advisers, negotitaters etc who would laugh off what you're suggesting.

This. Thats what Im trying to say to Madmax. I know he is smarter than this.

If Barcelona were trying to screw over us, we wouldn't be trying to sign the player. A buy-back clause means Barcelona have the option to bring the player back based on that contract. That doesn't stop us and the player agreeing a new contract though.

I cant believe im saying this but looks like Ron Gourlay has done some decent business with this deal! Or it could be AVb's doing.

Id love to know why this is decent business. This will be one of the most stupidest decision in the Roman Era-- buy a player with a lot of potential who has 1 YEAR left on his contract and refused to sign a new one which means Barcelona have no advantage in the negotiations, develop him and play him in the first team only to lose him for a measly 3m profit?

What everyone seems to be forgetting is that the contract also includes a clause for the amount at which we can buy him.

It is a deal where in we get to try a player for a few years, if he makes the cut, we can retain him at a pre-decided price obviously much higher than the sum for which Barca are bound to buy him back. Think of it as a loan to Barca, a move where we pay his wages and try him out, if he doesn't work, we get 3 million as interest on the loan we gave them.

barcastuff There's a total deal on the transfer of B player Oriol Romeu (19) to Chelsea for 5M. After 2 years, Barcelona can buy him back for 10M.

Win/Win?

They 'can' meaning we have a say in the matter.

And after one year, we offer him a new contract, without that clause, easy as 1 - 2 - 3

that wont work! Its an agreement in the deal to buy him not in his contract

He's having his medical now, we have sent people over to Colombia.

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

Yeah, from the videos i have watched he seems to have a nice touch and nice quick passing, a typical barca player.
