seems better for hentoray then it does for us.

I don't really understand this. Did Olympiakos pay less for him than the 1.5m Anderlecht were asking us to pay? If so, how come there was one price for us and another for them?

It wouldve cost us 3 mil, instead he broke his contract so olympiacos will pay a fraction of that in compo, and i guess we'll probably have a set price with them if we sign him full time in the future

SAF, and Wenger was interested in Henan a year ago - So if we have him on loan with the right to buy that is the only way we have shafted Anderlecht otherwise if he plays first team games for us and is brilliant, and he is a star, that 3 million could end up being 10 - 15 million! how's that good business?

You assume we wouldn't have negotiated any option-to-buy price?

we don't know what the deal is, there might be an agreed fee

 

[AaronTheBlue]

So, if he plays a hand full of games for us and Olympiacos decide they want to keep him, or want a bigger fee than what they paid for him. Then what.

Let me get this right we are going spend the year developing this kid and then he buggers off to Greece a better player. So strange

 

[tim cahill]

I'm not being principled, the whole thing stinks, since when do we use other Clubs as a proxy? Sorry but it is a lot different to Galloway. We shouldn't be using other Clubs to broker deals through agents for us, disgusting behaviour.

Should clubs be charging us more than they would charge another club though?

NOOO! we don't know..

I need a lie down...

Maybe it's a fixed buyout clause for us?

Pre-agreed fee, or at the very least a set percentage increase depending on various factors. Will be in his contract.

 

[neil999]

cant believe we have paid a 10 million loan fee for someone who isn't gonna play and then we gonna buy him off olympiakos for 25mill and then sell him back to Anderlecht for 50p

what are we thinking?!?

Im guessing Olympiakos did us a 'favour' and our loan fee will cover the transfer fee and a hand shake.. and he ends up on loan then we sign him permanently..

This pretty much sums it up for me. 99.9% certain he'll be a permanent deal at the end of the season

 

[AaronTheBlue]

But maybe it isn't, either. You have to look at that too, because there is no evidence to suggest there is a pre-set fee. And Olympiacos aren't stupid they will want to make money and protect themselves too.

 

[Azzurri]

Don't see the point.

Why not?

Yeah and if the boot was on the other foot we would fume. Fair play, you're not arsed. I don't agree with it.

I don't agree with it either, but if everyone else is doing stuff like it why should we be the mugs who have principles?
