What is an ‘obligation to buy’ loan deal?If the obligation to buy is subject to to the achievement of certain sporting objectives by the end of the '22/'23 season, I'm hard pressed to see how we can book anything beyond the loan fee, but I'm no accountant or contract analyst, so we await a formal analysis. I assume there is no obligation to buy until objectives are confirmed to have been met. And it seems we will not even know that until Spring '23.
Furthermore, the acquisition fee (assuming objectives are met) is reportedly payable in three years. Is that three years from now or three years from the fulfillment of the objectives?
While the deal seems like reasonable business on the surface given all that has transpired, I think we have few certainties in the near term and cannot fully assess this deal for another two years.
It's actually a conditional obligation to buy.What is an ‘obligation to buy’ loan deal?
In my head Either it means nothing other than a loan deal with an option to buy at the end. (Which if he gets injured or he’s a flop they’ll not want to pay the money and make it permanent )
Or it’s enforceable and therefore it’s a sale with basically a deferred payment.?
If it’s the first one then it’s not that great for us and we relented from our original stance on the matter.
Feel free to put me straight on this anyone.
Off the field Brands has done well on him getting that despite wasting money on his wages and signing on fee. On the field it's been another shambles of a signing. Done nothing on the pitch and occupied a squad spaceBrands has done well to make a profit on this fraud.
Posted this on his Insta stories, which is more than I expected him to do really. Good luck to the lad.

It's 38m, plus the loan fee when got off PSG last year.Don't have time to get into it now.. but intuitively its a rubbish deal for Everton.
On the face of it this appears a panic sale based on those terms.. no bothered how the Echo have tried to spin it.
28m euro in two years, if he meets certain criteria.. If he meets those criteria what do you think he could be worth then?
Ok because I got started let me say why I thinks it rubbish:
1. The sale cannot be recorded until the terms are met. So the only income we get is the loan fee.
2. As the sale cannot be recorded we will still have to amortise the contract.
3. the loan (3m annual) is not enough to cover the amortisation - please tell me my maths is wrong?
4. so annually we still losing money until the sales is confirmed.
5. We recoup the initial downpayment in a couple season, but what if he meets these criteria what could his value be now at the age of 22 or 23 vs what he is now having played for Juve for 2 years.
I've just watched this space waiting to see how the terms actually play out before judging it. So in 2024 we hope to bank a profit as his book value will be two years lower. To book that profit now would take a club to pay the full purchase price we paid when we bought him.
Maybe there are reasons for not being able to find a willing buyer for a 20 year old who played in the CL for PSG last season and has already represented his country... but the deal sucks for us.
Adds up to 38m all in over the period and with bonuses .. but isn't 38 in one tranche. so the first 7m goes against the amort for year 1 and 2. the 3m bonus is a bonus... again what will the opportunity cost be if we deserve a bonus payment in two years from now. Honestly only time will tell.It's 38m, plus the loan fee when got off PSG last year.
Whose bothered, he didn’t want to be here, we will recoup money back on him and hopefully spend it on someone who wants to be at the club, it’s not like he actually achieved anything or showed any real promise whilst he was here, he had 1 good game that I can remember against Newcastle I think it was.Don't have time to get into it now.. but intuitively its a rubbish deal for Everton.
