ithuriel Posted 29 January 2023 Share Posted 29 January 2023 If only for four months, if he is shit hot, it should help us stay in the division, if not, we will he would be gone quickly and if he is and likes it here, we have a good chance of keeping him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes him to the end of his Lyon loan deal but he still has some time left at Shaktar. Given that Ukrainian clubs are putting pressure on FIFA to avoid them losing all their talent for free, we might need to see what the rules are. The worry is that, if he sets the league on fire for us, one of the big boys will come sniffing. I'd say the bigger worry is that he flops. If he does really well and the big boys want him it will probably mean we have stayed up which right now would be a great result. He at least gives us more attacking options as long as Rodgers plays him of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post coolhandfox Posted 29 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 29 January 2023 We have brought him out of his short term contract with Lyon. We haven't done a deal with his parent club as his contract is suspended, we can do a deal with them over the next few month without the pressure of trying to get it done in the window. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OntarioFox Posted 29 January 2023 Share Posted 29 January 2023 It has been a pleasure refreshing this thread for the past two weeks. Now get Souttar over the line and I might just believe we can turn the corner. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is correct. All we can do is attempt with Shaktar to compensate them fairly, which mitigates any possibility that if a team didn't try and buy him but rather waited to see what the outcome is of the FIFA ruling post June. It seems unlikely the war will have ended by then, in which case its also unlikely FIFA will allow for the pause of contracts to continue so it might be that these players can permanently end their contracts in which case Shaktar are powerless and receive nothing. Pre the war starting he was a £35m player, I think a deal gets done for around £20-25m maximum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post themightyfin Posted 29 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 29 January 2023 (edited) OK as I said last night when I confirmed it was done it's complicated. Here goes... We have an OPTION to buy fee agreement in place that can be activated anytime between now and June. If its left till after June then potentially other clubs could come in for him and/fifa will get involved and make some decisions around tbe Ukraine war with both contracted Ukraine players and international players. If it reaches that stage it could all get messy. Fee paid is 3.5 million Euro presumably paid to Shakhtar who will compensate Lyon. It's very complicated but that's it as far as I can tell. Apologies in advance if I have any of the final details wrong. Now go ahead and slate me! Edited 29 January 2023 by themightyfin 2 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the option to buy is as straightforward as that then we are laughing. assume it will be similar fee to Lyon’s agreement. if we haven’t decided to make it permanent by June then he’s not settled or we’re relegated…….

An option is for us to choose to trigger or not and when, anytime before expiry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
