It certainly is a bit dodgy.. Unfortunately though, even if a solid link does come out its just egg on PL faces… I can’t really see any retrospective action after the sale has been approved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just so we have a year to come up with the money? Not sure if it's still the case but transfers used to stipulate a certain percentage of the fee would have to be paid within the first year. I think over here it was 100% but got a feeling that was relaxed a bit. My impression was that obligation to buy was basically a means to secure a player and get around not being able to meet those financial regulations. Option to buy wasn't binding but included the option to buy the player at an agreed price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diabolus Ex Machina Posted 16 August, 2022 Share Posted 16 August, 2022 49 minutes ago, SuperSAINT said: Wouldn't be shocked by this. In fact I predicted something similar about a month back when the Winks rumours appeared again. On 15/07/2022 at 17:56, Diabolus Ex Machina said: Romeu, who most of us would consider a 'key' player, is 30 years old and currently going into his last year of his contract with no noises about us trying to extend. For a club that seems to be focusing on youth currently i'm concerned that we may be looking to move him on. It's just a gut feeling but I can't see why else we wouldn't have already tried extending his contract. May be why the Winks rumours aren't going away as being more experienced he may be considered a better replacement for Romeu than another youngster.

Baird of the land Posted 16 August, 2022 Share Posted 16 August, 2022 Unless he's unhappy i don't really see any logic to getting rid of Romeu this season. Not going to raise much money and he's valuable quality depth to midfield. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Matty 76 Posted 16 August, 2022 Share Posted 16 August, 2022 Yeah I'd also much rather lose Diallo. JWP/Garner & Lavia/Romeu makes a lot more sense than Lavia & JWP/Garner/Diallo, leaving us a bit more covered for injuries. If he wants to go however after noticing he's no longer first choice, then I certainly wouldn't begrudge him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Keef Posted 16 August, 2022 Share Posted 16 August, 2022 I would be sad to see Oriol go. He has been a brilliant servant for this club. Not only will we lose a damn fine player, but we will also need to nominate someone else to wind up and taunt Jack Grealish! We need to start a "KEEP ORIOL" campaign. Only my opinion, but I would much rather we were looking to move Diallo out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
