so we lost money on that one too... I thought the objective of the loan army was to make money from future sales?

Don't understand why we do business with them since they didn't want to do anything with us?

I tell you this club is so weird at times in how they do business.

Not really. He was bought for €16M two and a half years ago and now sold for €15M which would seem like a loss at first glance but you're forgetting that Roma paid a €5M loan fee last year and I couldn't find any figures about his loan to Fiorentina but as a loan fee of sorts the transfer of Juan Cuadrado was less than it would've been without Salah going the other way on loan.

Of course there's wages but for 12 months that Salah spent at Chelsea and not on loan I doubt his salary was that much. Also he was not exactly part of the "loan army" as you said, because in 2014 he was bought directly for first team use and looked promising in the beginning but then all of a sudden Mourinho just didn't trust him anymore, which happened to other players and not just Salah.

Purchase clause as part of the loan deal agreed last year (€5M loan fee for 15/16 + €15M option for this summer), nothing the club could've done differently about it because it's not like we were interested in any of their players last year so I doubt it even crossed anyone's mind that a year later we might have Conte in charge who's very much interested in Nainggolan and it would be a good idea to include some options to the Salah deal regarding that.

Roma actually announced the permanent transfer as early as October last year but I guess the paperwork was only finished now, or Chelsea were just too lazy to announce it earlier. I'd guess it's the latter because there's no new info on Roma's website and as far as they're concerned Salah has been their player since last year.

Yeah shit knows what last seasons contract details were with him &Roma(no doubt we could have sold him 4more), after the fiasco with Fiorentina ffs, another Jose botch job thx, Guess we grab the cash and move on,tf not another loan grrrr,still not sure who will push Willian ?! Moses or Cuadrado looks like.

Finally, sense has been spoken, how I've longed for something like this.

Up there. Fourth highest scoring player in Serie A since he went over and isn't even a CF. Also, he has one of the best goals to games ratio for his NT that is only bettered by Neymar at a similar age.

I always liked him but we had  so many in same position he never got a fair shot.

I stul love him for that 1st goal he scored agaibst the North Londoners, Pinpoint pass from Maric abd Salah had left the defenders a mile back.

Shame really.

The Mou effect. Several youngsters were let go without a fair crack of the whip and are now shining.
