Player Valuation: £35m
Would any of you take this as acceptable
Say Barkley buy for £1 million with an add on of £10 million if you stay up, increased to £15 million if you finish 10th or above
Gilmour on loan( no loan fee just his wages paid in full by you ) with an obligation to buy on 1/7/2023 for £15 million if you stay up.
The players in this scenario aren’t the issue it’s the type of structuring of the deal that interests me
The fact you've mentioned Barkley here makes it difficult to be objective about this, but yes, that sort of structure would be perfectly acceptable.
Fully expecting us to try to do something like this for Gilmour (maybe Colwill too) but for Chelsea to insist on a buyback clause if they agree a favourable deal structure with us
