It doesn’t matter what it is, the fact there is an option to buy at all is just plain daft

Well it's not is it. If he isn't developing the way we hoped and we can make a big profit why not, as long as it's on our terms. That's our model. It's very rare that young players turn into superstars that go to the big boys. We've just managed an extremely good run of it with Bissouma, White, Trossard, Cucurella, Caicedo and Sanchez. Hopefully Facundo will be next but he might just up being decent. Nothing wrong with that of course

Edit: i forgot Mac Allister. It's an obscene run when you think about it

I wonder, and I may well be completely wrong, whether this loan was initially negotiated as part of the Weiffer deal. We did seem to get him relatively cheaply according to reports.
I think the fact that the buy option is very high suggests that we don’t want to sell.
On a positive, I think this may suggest that someone else is incoming. Gruda hopefully.

Better have a couple of blinding midfielders lined up to sign. Otherwise we’ll have two new massive holes in midfield, to go with the one Caicedo left, which they also didn’t fill.

So that's Gross, Gilmour and Buonanotte out. We will have to sign another two midfielders or we will be seriously short again. And we still need a Right Back.

Totally depends on who comes in……..judging the ‘decision making’ on two out of so many in and outs would be stupid.

I don’t think it does. We’d have to spend a fortune to get upgrades on both, and hoarding promising youngsters to the point of having to ship some out on the cheap just makes us a smaller scale version of Chelsea.

Pretty gutted about this - but it may have been the ‘price’ for getting Weiffer who I think will prove to be a great investment for us.

I do think the OTB will come to nothing eventually - we will want a decent wack for Facu so hopefully the at the end if the day fee will be above Feyenoord’s paygrade.

What I do wonder is if we are close to negotiating a deal for another certain CAM that FH thinks could be better because he has two very good feet instead of one?

How would this scenario below fit for some interesting wheeling and dealing? 😎

Dortmund have just signed Gross who FH was very keen to hang on to. Dortmund were also very very interested and quite far along in negotiations to sign Lyons CAM, Rayan Cherki. Three days ago, Dortmund suddenly decide not to go ahead with Cherki, first putting negotiations on hold, then pulling out altogether - could there have been a bit of quid pro quo? ( ie ‘We’ll pull out of Cherki negotiations and recommend BHA would be a better fit for him, if we can sign Gross’)


PSG, Liverpool and Tottenham have all expressed ‘interest’ - Cherki was keen on PSG but perhaps the EPL has turned his head.

He improves every game. Really don't understand if it's a done deal. He showed last season he can play in PL and he will get better. Must be some personal issue behind this.

I think agents sometimes push for these things.

It could have come from Facundo’s camp. An ultimatum to the club. A regular starter at the Albion or a development loan where he can get plenty of minutes.

I do hope, at this late stage, that we are not going to repeat the midfield paucity of the post Ali Mac/Caicedo sale debacle....
