Perhaps wander but it still makes no sense. If DF is this keen on him why not buy him now, put him on a two or three year contract and then if things don't work out we can at least get our money back selling him. His price is only 400K apparently and that's because his contract is up in summer. If he had two years left he'd have cost at least a million. We could in a worst case scenario make at least 100K profit on the guy selling him on so why are we paying his wages for the rest of this season and tying up money from the next window's available funds when we know we have next to nothing to play with anyway? It's a senseless deal, a sort of Buy now Pay later thing.wanderlust wrote:doffcocker wrote:I could understand us wanting to buy him now for a nominal fee rather than lose out on him in the summer (assuming he's as good as people say), but a loan?
Loan signings can only benefit us short-term. We've got countless bigger short-term worries. As ever, I'm bemused with the happenings up at Horwich.
isn't this just a loan with an "option to buy" clause?
