Depends on your club in championship.I always thought it was a fool's errand in the Championship having 4-5 loan players who weren't nailed on to join in the event of promotion, because you either have to replace half the team that got you up, or end up spending a load of money to stay exactly where you are and improvements have to be paid for on top. Pretty sure Fulham got stung that way one year and it's why Forest have had to make a daft number of signings this summer.
Doesn't matter so much in the Premier League as we can only have two players from other PL clubs (and only one from any single club, like we couldn't have Broja AND Gallagher). I'm ok with that, providing we're not paying silly money to get them (can't remember who it was now but Chelsea wanted something like £10m just for a loan with no option for someone 2-3 years ago, ridiculous).
Might be different if we were still the 6th/7th best team in the league and able to attract players on our own, but we aren't there any more.
Just negotiation isn't it?Our cashflow remains fucked then, because it's not FFP that would need us to give those options

Ligue 2. FC Metz : une offre de plusieurs millions de Wolverhampton pour Boubacar Traoré
Arrivé au FC Metz à l’été 2019 , Boubacar Traoré ne devrait sans doute pas s’éterniser sur les bords de la Moselle. Le milieu de terrain malien, qui awww.republicain-lorrain.fr
Boubacar Traoré?
I don't know anything about him.
Not sure how offering €2m a year further down the line is good negotiation. Unless Metz are going pop they'd be mad not to take that option and we'd be mad to offer it as an obligationJust negotiation isn't it?
I think Andy has the right view. The price is €10m but we'll pay a lower value now to take him.Not sure how offering €2m a year further down the line is good negotiation. Unless Metz are going pop they'd be mad not to take that option amd we'd be mad to offer it as an obligation
Ok, that way round makes senseI think Andy has the right view. The price is €10m but we'll pay a lower value now to take him.

It was. We only wanted him if there was that buy option included. Barca didn’t budge.I read that Barca don't want a sale clause in any loan for Nico, which could have been a sticking point for us.
They didn't cave in and give us a ridiculous deal?Barca didn’t budge.
