Term-X 7,891 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Not necessarily happy for our club but happy for the player who gets to live out a dream of his playing a big role for Barcelona. And I suppose we could take some pride in having helped to develop him as a player.That's exactly the type of small-club mentality Bolton supporters have.

The Big Drog 1,110 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 That's exactly the type of small-club mentality Bolton supporters have.I think you missed the bit where Barcelona and Real Madrid stormed ahead of every other club. Honestly did you really think that we would get such a talented young player from Barcelona without them covering their own interests? Of course not, to think otherwise is simply naive. You are looking at the deal as some sort of negative symbol, in reality we all know that Barcelona and Real Madrid are on another level. You have to look at the positives, we have a fantastic young player currently playing in our midfield, to the extent that Barcelona see him as good enough to be a member of their first team squad, lets enjoy it while it lasts.

Ollie 4,400 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 It's basically the Arsenal, Fabregas situation. If he wants to go back to his boyhood club as a world class established player then good luck to him. As long as he's been great for us and been committed to OUR cause.

Term-X 7,891 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Man, great sig by the way. Did you make it by yourself? You always have great sigs and avatars.Indeed, I only ever use my own work. Various subtle layers, lighting, and a bit of cross processing.I think you missed the bit where Barcelona and Real Madrid stormed ahead of every other club. Honestly did you really think that we would get such a talented young player from Barcelona without them covering their own interests? Of course not, to think otherwise is simply naive. You are looking at the deal as some sort of negative symbol, in reality we all know that Barcelona and Real Madrid are on another level. You have to look at the positives, we have a fantastic young player currently playing in our midfield, to the extent that Barcelona see him as good enough to be a member of their first team squad, lets enjoy it while it lasts.AVB wanted Oriol at Porto, his desire to work with him transcended our clubs stature as a top european club. That would be the only way of rationalising it, regardless of Barca's position in world football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker10 946 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Not really worried about this whole Romeu situation. If he stays then that is fantastic, if he goes back to Barca then oh well we will find someone as good as him in a year or two.I think he is more suited for Chelsea then Barca tbh, unless he plays CB at Barca. He doesn't have great positioning sense, he gives a lot of space for the opposition midfield. While Busquets has amazing positioning sense and which makes him untouchable player in their system.

warnie_666 1,081 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 What you're stating is the first refusal clause.The buy back clause is identical to a minimum fee release clause, only difference being that in a buy back only the original seller gets the right to speak with the player if it pays the amount stipulated in the contract. The release clause is for any club that can afford that price.What Barcelona have is a right to first refusal, atleast that's what the manager says.Not really. I suggest you do some research on buy back clause. To speculate based on our own assumption is not good. If the buy back clause is how you state it it really does not make sense. Why didn't they loan him to us? What if he had flopped? Everyone's going nuts because he turned out a gem.BUY BACK clause is exactly what I stated. It means the Barca has the opportunity to buy him back at the states price IF and Only IF Chelsea decide to sell.FIRST REFUSAL is similar to BUY BACK but in FIRST REFUSAL there is no deal made on future sale. The buyer has to buy it at the price at Whig the seller is selling but he is the first person the seller will talk to. BUY BACK is where a deal is made on the future sale IF the seller plans to sell it.That's how shit works in US as I asked my lawyer frd.

Whether it's a buy-back, first-refusal etc, it's the simple word of Romeu which will decide future decisions of either staying or going back.

BUY BACK is where a deal is made on the future sale IF the seller plans to sell it.That's how shit works in US as I asked my lawyer frd.We're saying the same things about Romeu's clause, so I suggest you stop getting worked up.Barcelona have a first refusal on Romeu, which means that they will be the first ones to be spoken to if Chelsea decide to sell, as AVB said. He also said that the sale cannot take place without Chelsea's consent, implying it's not a buy back agreement, thus proving that if it had been a buy back, Chelsea would have been helpless if Barcelona had met the fee stipulated in the contract. As far as your lawyer friend is concerned, maybe things are different in the US, where the buyback seems to be a hybrid of the usual buy back and first refusal terms. Fact remains - a seller's wish doesn't matter in a buy back if the stipulated fee is met by the original seller and the original seller only, after which point he gets a chance to negotiate with the player concerned. But that's not worrisome for us as it's not the case with Romeu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
