Simon79 Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 41 minutes ago, Unan said: This Chelsea nonsense is the biggest load of rubbish I have ever heard & I can't believe any of you believe it. As if Chelsea would sign an 18 year old for €8m (they have their academy to sell players for this price not to buy them), and even if they did, as if they'd ask SL to do some dodgy deal with them & we'd trust each other to pay up/sell at the end of it. "Yeah no worry Abramovich we'll destroy our FFP for the next 2 years and ruin our chances of signing players, just to get 1 player on loan". All whilst, most probably going against the rules for these types of things & risking the case of huge fines/point deductions. If we get Tomori or a Chelsea player on loan it'll be because our transfer dealings have had mutual benefits, not because we're player laundering for them. Literally laughable. Some people do love to find any excuse. New to OTIB are you!? COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still doesn’t give a bit of real evidence to the conspiracy theorising , but that won’t stop the catastrophising ITKers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevthered Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Even if we have made this arrangement with Chelsea (I don't think this is the case) Is it Illegal..?.From what I can see it's just a loophole being exploited...Cannot see us getting into trouble over this...It's not like we are selling our stadium or anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, we will have to see how this all works out. It seems that when I merely speculated (tongue-in-cheek) on a possible scenario early this morning it then took on a life of its own became a rumour and then an indisputable fact by this afternoon such is the feeding frenzy on OTIB and Facebook. Next time I speculate I will remember to copyright it before anyone else plagiarises my muses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 1 hour ago, BRISTOL86 said: That’s some conspiracy theory. It’s beyond shady and if it were the case and it were found out we would be dragged through the mud. A big, big risk that I can’t see SL being down with. Not even sure I agree it’s that shady tbh: a player sold with a buy back clause. The difference here is a sell on clause - granting an option; but it’s still a bit like the option we had on Jay to discuss terms at a specific fee. If Chelsea funded the purchase of this guy then it stinks Otherwise I see it as we have (almost, it would seem) bought a player. Part of his deal may include a release transfer fee. He may or may not have negotiated that as club specific. We may or may not have agreed. If, it represents a good deal for us - and who can criticise MA in the transfers out market? - get in.

Dastardly and Muttley Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 So, could we have bought him, with a release fee agreed should Chelsea, and Chelsea only, match it? Therefore, giving Chelsea first refusal at, say, £25million? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This lad is apparently a very special talent who Chelsea are interested in but due to their transfer ban can’t sign him. So.......we buy him, train him up and once he’s up to Championship quality he gets to play. Should he impress as all concerned anticipate then Chelsea will have first refusal on once their ban has expired. One big advantage of having such close contacts with Chelsea.

Chelsea will have no more favour in signing him from us in future than any other team. Reading self-confessed speculative musings on a forum and then spouting it as your own foreseen gospel is bullshit. I wont believe the Chelsea link until it's on the OS.

Hampshire reds Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 sorry to be negative but is this lad the sort of signing we should be making. we need proven championship players. on the leeds game we are light years behind them. the back 4 were all over the place.
