Roberto Martinez discussion

[Nymzee]

To be fair should we really be taking any transfer advice from a Barca fan as legit? New type of loan? Mate that club can't not do a dodgy transfer deal.

I like Martinez.

I like Martinez.

Me too. Boss fella. Although we may be off topic as this the deluofeu mark 2.0 thread

 

[Titus Bramble]

I like how he signed Deluofeu on a permanent deal.

 

[maccavennie]

I pointed out that it is a new type of loan, which is simply a question of semantics - the point is that he is not sold and that is the end of it considering Barcelona have the buyback option in the first 2 years. Is that not how loans work? You have a player play somewhere else and then recall them - money changing hands is in parallel. If he were sold without those clauses, then sure - that's the end of it. Not sure why it's really even being debated. Even Barcelona's sporting director in regular contact with the player, is that how sales normally work that their former SD meets with them to gauge their progress?

And I've only responded to posts directed to me, I haven't been on my soapbox forcing anyone to accept my point of view.

I often wonder if @FCBarça actually has any ties/interest to Barcelona or is just another 15-year old PES creaming fanboy of Messi.

What do you think

I know in the scheme of things its not, no. I just mean in the simple way where they come in and take him back, it is technically have been a loan, although we profit from it.

Put my house on him being here next season at least though.

He has a contract with Everton Football Club and not with FC Barcelona. Therefore it is not a loan, simple as.

Its all technicalities here and there but to be honest mate not arguing the point when the main thing is that he is an everton player!

I do not think any of us know the exact detail/specifics of the 'buy back' component of the transfer. One can infer from the relatively (very) cheap transfer fee, that Barca retain some form of leverage in potentially reacquiring Deulofeu's services, but the extent of that leverage is, in the absence of familiarity with intimate contractual detail, just conjecturing

Strange I could have sworn I clicked on the Roberto Martinez discussion thread?

@FCBarça congrats! You are the newest member of the bell list! Don't worry you are in great company.

@FCBarça congrats! You are the newest member of the bell list! Don't worry you are in great company.

Congrats to you, as you are the newest member of the ignore list! Don't worry you too are in great company.

Some absolutely classic bantz laid down there from the Hombre Principal.

I saw my Catalan mate Saturday - he had a bag of the good stuff. I bought it and agreed, it was good shoite. Trouble was Sunday, he phoned up saying its actually excellent stuff, I'll give you £x back in exchange. Too late I say, unless you take selling advice from dodgy posters on GOT ...
