Popular Post Condimentalist Posted July 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2019 Don't really know anything about him but another Brazilian would be good big Wes. I hope the buyback clause is set at least a few mil higher than our purchase. In reality City might see this as a good way to sort his pernit issues so he can move back there - but if he's good enough for them he'll certainly be a major asset for us this season. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 yes the buy back might be say £25ml I would have thought, though I hope that has an expiry on it, like only valid for next summer but we'll see, if he does get bought back we'll have had a player playing well for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 my first thought on the buy back is city doing something clever along the lines of buying him from us to sell to someone else and they get the profit not us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowlersrs Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Man city have the finances to pretty much buy anyone they want. If this lad gets bought back we will prob be in europe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way it’s good business for both clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdabush Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Think it massively depends on how much the buyback is. I think we need to start thinking differently about our transfers now. With our focus on being young players with potential, any that start living up to that potential are likely to be bought off us at a significant profit. We can then reinvest that money sensibly. It’s a far cry from what we’ve been used to over the years but a much more sensible way of running the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Barca and Real often have these kind of clauses when they sell their younger players, City are run by ex Barca people so makes sense. Just have to hope the markup is a big enough sum. Can't really complain if this gets us a good player we otherwise would not have been able to get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Perhaps they get first refusal at a set price if we want to sell, but with no obligation to sell at all. We may even have a clause that says if they buy him they can’t sell him on quickly to turn a quick profit. I’d be more concerned under our previous owners than I am now. Let’s see if it happens, we may be wasting serious worrying over nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Would people accept this deal if the buy-back was only £5m more than the purchase price? If it means that we're getting a Man City level player, I think I'd still take it. As others have said, it could essentially be a glorified loan.

So you mean we'd be doing a Brentford? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
