Yeah tbh, although I think Marcel will negotiate a good deal if we are in for the lad. I wouldnt be against the kind of deal they're apparently wanting.
Not like a loan at all. A loan we would pay maybe £5m per season + wages.
This we pay wages and potentially 10mill profit back at the end if he was to be sold back (if such clause was included)
I still think Brands would rather include other add-ons or more upfront than a small buyback price though
A loan we would risk losing £5m plus his wages if it didn’t work out. If we pay £35m+ then we risk losing that if he doesn’t work out with only a small gain if there’s a buy back clause with not much profit. If we’re spending that much then any buy back needs to show the risk we’d be taking ie £20m+ more than we pay
