If we loan him and he performs well for us as false 9, it would be a much safer risk to splash money on him in the summer than on the likes of Osimhen or Kane
Felix and Weghorst would be good business I feel.
I think this is a pretty fair deal once there's a way that if he's shite we can pull out of the deal
If we have "committed" to purchasing him, paying all his wages from the start of his tunure here... How would it be a loan.... The 9 would simply be a down-payment... If you want to be technical. It's not a loan. It's a permanent move.How so?
Aye fingers crossed this is how things pan out, and I think it will.
It sounds like they have basically put a fee on his head and to satisfy FFP, either for their books or the buying clubs, they’re delaying the sale until the summer. It would certainly suit us considering our finances.If that tweet is correct, then we can’t as we will have an obligation as part of the loan deal to sign him for £70M. It’s different if it was an option to buy.
A loan is a mechanism. If they choose to use that mechanism rather than a a transfer - as in they still hold his contract, then it’s definitely a loan.If we have "committed" to purchasing him, paying all his wages from the start of his tunure here... How would it be a loan.... The 9 would simply be a down-payment... If you want to be technical. It's not a loan. It's a permanent move.
It’s not. Whether the parties intend for that £9m to be taken from the ultimate purchase price is immaterial. The loan fee is an agreed payment for the temporary transfer of his registration.If we have "committed" to purchasing him, paying all his wages from the start of his tunure here...

Unless anything is already signed, no.For on obligation to buy him next summer our next owner would have to consent I'd assume?
Felix alone would be fine, thanks.Aye fingers crossed this is how things pan out, and I think it will.
It definitely sounds like that... Would probably suit both partiesIt sounds like they have basically put a fee on his head and to satisfy FFP, either for their books or the buying clubs, they’re delaying the sale until the summer. It would certainly suit us considering our finances.

Why would we have any contractual first option on Joao felix... Probably miscommunication and more meant as "we are his first choice and would be informed if someone else wants him too".
Unless anything is already signed, no.
Yeh i get that but if we have some binding agreement that he has to be our permanent player immediately after then I don't see it as being some kind of loan any more. I get that there is some technicalities between the two and in a legal or financial sense its a loan , but in real terms it's basically a sale as we have "committed" to buying him.It’s not. Whether the parties intend for that £9m to be taken from the ultimate purchase price is immaterial. The loan fee is an agreed payment for the temporary transfer of his registration.
Not sure how this can work in our situation. It would be easier with a simple option but an obligation? Would at least have to be disclosed to the buyer.
We don't have any situation and there is nothing preventing it from working. The current clubs employees have a duty to the club and the club doesn't have a buyer, as far as we know no one is in exclusive conversation for the purchase of the club. So there is no situation to manage, this deal is no different to any transfer, the club is managing its future as it should.
Yeah I guess if our sale process is that far off it wouldn't be an issue.
Probably because its going toward a transfer fee at the end which looks discountedHow so?
It's not really a if. There is no scenario where the sale is close enough that the potential buyer has a say on how the club is currently run and it's not made public.
It’s just another way of dressing a transfer. We already have many obligated transfer fees.Not sure how this can work in our situation. It would be easier with a simple option but an obligation? Would at least have to be disclosed to the buyer.

United are a business, it’s United that own these players and owe this money, not the Glazers. The owners are irrelevant really.
70.5 for him isn't half bad at all tbf, rhats cheaper than Havertz
Felix isn't good enough to lace Bruno's shoes.He should replace Bruno in the team.
He should replace Bruno in the team.
Bruno isn’t good enough for us if we want to go to the next level.Did you miss the World Cup?
Bruno isn’t good enough for us if we want to go to the next level.
An incredibly small sample size so pretty much irrelevant. Felix has a much higher ceiling than Bruno. My opinion.He was better than Felix at the WC though and you’re suggesting we replace him with Felix..
Go figure
