Damien didnt have a deal to sign mina? He just signed him as lawnmo was touting him around. Let me rephrase that, I have a deal to sign kane from norwich after a certain condition is met. We havent discussed a fixed price yet same as the inaki,kurt,etc deal.
So now does that deal still circumvent the FFP? 'Cos its exactly the deal I have now, with the words buyback clause being replaced.
But the point is that due to the agreement of you selling Kane, it would imply therefore that nobody else has any chance of signing him as it's a buyback clause and therefore even if someone bid 30m and you bid 25m, Norwich would have to sell to you or forever be considered a cnut. So basically, you have a guaranteed 90+ rated striker transfer that you can do whenever you like (within reason). Knowing that nobody else could buy him.
First Option - Gives at least others a chance of outbidding the seller if for example his value suddenly increased to 45m and the seller didn't have the cash.
Buyback Clause - No other manager would have a chance of buying the player unless the seller decided not to buy him. I.E. he was playing shit.
So using the Buyback Clause, I could sell off loads of my 87/88's freeing up space for more players knowing that I can buy any of them back without any competition. See my point?
