I see it's being reported that Barcelona are only buying him back to sell him. I thought there was a clause to say he had to stay with them for a season first? Anyone remember?

Sad to see him go but he had his chance.
Good deal really, near 6mil profit on a player the manager doesn't like.

Not as clear cut as being reported - Barca want to renegotiate the terms of the buy back clause as they are claiming that when they sold him to us he defo had 2 x lungs! Trying to knock a couple of million off for the missing lung!

yip they cant sell him, suppose we could come to some arrangement where they have to give us a portion of any sell on fee.
Think the arrangement is already there. If they buy him back for 10m and sell him for 20m they have to give us 50% of any profit which would be 5m.

That's correct.
“If they take him back they can’t sell him for a season, so he has to stay in the first-team squad for a season. At the end of that if they decide to sell him we have got first rights of getting him back or we have got a big percentage of that deal. There is nothing we can do if they activate it. That was the deal and the only way we could access the player in the terms that we wanted. I’m delighted with the deal.”

Everton fear losing Gerard Deulofeu to Barcelona under buy-back clause | Football | The Guardian
Thursday 19 November 2015 17.30 EST
Everton will be powerless to prevent Gerard Deulofeu re-signing for Barcelona next summer should the European champions activate a €9m (£6.3m) buy-back clause, Roberto Martínez has confirmed.
Deulofeu returned to Goodison Park this summer in a €6m transfer from Camp Nou having enjoyed a successful loan stay in 2013-14. The 21-year-old had found first-team opportunities understandably limited at Barcelona and also struggled to make an impact while on loan at Sevilla last season, but the Catalan club were reluctant to let the winger leave during their transfer embargo and insisted on a buy-back option lasting two years.
The winger has been in fine form recently for Everton and Spain Under-21s, scoring a hat-trick against Georgia and twice against Croatia during the international break having been named captain for the European Championship qualifiers. Deulofeu’s development is being closely monitored by Barcelona and it has been suggested that, even if the player does not feature in Luis Enrique’s first-team plans, the Spanish champions could re-sign him with a view to selling on at a profit.
But Martínez explained: “They can’t do that. There are certain things in the deal. They can’t take him back in the winter so they can’t take him back in January. It can only be at the end of the season. It is €9m for the first year and €12m in the second year.
“If they take him back they can’t sell him for a season, so he has to stay in the first-team squad for a season. At the end of that if they decide to sell him we have got first rights of getting him back or we have got a big percentage of that deal. There is nothing we can do if they activate it. That was the deal and the only way we could access the player in the terms that we wanted. I’m delighted with the deal.”
The Everton manager insisted the complex deal and risk of losing Deulofeu after only one season is offset by having a player of that talent for €6m. “My worry would be to lose him in January, that would be a big problem,” said Martínez, who is adamant there will be no major departures from Everton in the next transfer window, a stance that applies to John Stones and Romelu Lukaku.
“But for us to have a player of that quality for the money we paid, if we lose him it will be on a profit financially so we would be able to use the money. And you want the player. You’re talking about a Barcelona player who has been all through his years as the golden boy believing he is going to be at the top level at Barcelona and we got him for a very good price. I’d like to tell Barcelona that he’s rubbish but they come to watch our games.”
