Plenty of things on the Traore deal to moan about and be confused on but the Trincao type deal is pretty standard these days.
Loan with no fee with the option to sign. Don't sign you just pay what the loan fee should have been. We did that with Jose and other clubs do it.
You are paying a fee regardless just a matter of when you pay it.
Successful loan you pay it and then the rest of the transfer fee.
Bag of nails loan you just pay the loan fee.
Nowt wrong from us on that point and if Barca use that to cover money owed to Traore that is fuck all to do with our failings. Now the Adama "deal" is a strange one even taking into account the players desire to join them and us getting his wages off the books for a few months but does generally highlight what looks from the outside as incompetence of those doing our deals.
On that point...bring on the summer transfer window...
