Player Watch - Sergio Reguilón (Brentford)

[cjsimba]

Having no buy option benefits us.

If he performs badly, the club won’t buy him anyway.

If he performs well and his stock rises, we aren’t held to a low selling price which was set before his stock rose. Now we can sell at a higher price, most likely to the club he performed well at, or other suitors.

Order of preference for loans - best to worst:

Loan with obligation (purely as it guarantees a sale)
Loan
Loan with option

Except no European clubs have any money so this higher fee is going to come from where?

Doesn't really bother me though in this case, if he plays well at Athletico for a season, he'll have suitors I think, and we'll get to pick a suitable price - there's a player in there.

This is how I see it, Reguillon is a good player and Atletico will probably want to buy him anyway.
I do think we've cottoned on to the fact that we can't sell players at the moment so having to loan them is the current reality.

 

[danny32]

No point in loaning with an obligation at a reduced price. Better to wait and hope they do well on the loans and hopefully get a better price when the market picks up.

The president of Lazio says that they pulled out of the race for Reguilon, because he is out injured for 6 weeks

The market is f*ckt. We can't sell players because clubs have no money, and we seemingly can't buy the players we want because clubs don't want to sell, even though they're skint. Frustrating.

You mean aside from the 8 we've signed?

Oh, you're right, I completely forgot about those. My bad!

I just can't understand why they are letting Lodi go, so I checked the forums for Atletico and it turns out nobody there can understand it either. Oh well, works for us if they take Reggie for a season! Even though they play wingbacks as well I think he'd suit their system much better than he does ours right now.

Financial reasons I guess. If you can sell a player and then go and get a player of equal talent on loan then it probably helps balance the books short term. ?

Yrah. Hopefully the club recovers financially next year, regs does well and he’s in demand

I like that before the window started we were all earmarking like £100-125m in sales.

 

[taidgh]

That top!

Genuinely gives me a headache.

Can you imagine Daniel?

“wow, Fabio. You really are the master of these loan deals. First you got us offset payments on Romero and Kulusevski, now youve got guaranteed money in for lo celso and Reguilon”

 

[Mr Gamgee]

What is it with all these loans! He’s 25, a decent player, good mentality, played and proven in the Spanish league before. Doesn’t show much commitment to the player!

Regulion, lo celso, Ndombele Rodon and Gil cost us £150m. None of these are bad players, the club surely want to get some money back from these players eventually

Yes, a 'buy option' is always in favour of the buying club, who could always decline their option and then later submit a lower bid, if they want the player but not at the agreed price.

It's a shame none of our surplus players have been loaned out with an 'obligation to buy' at a price we're content with though.

Unsure if it's been said, but genuinely surprised he's going to Atletico. Boyhood Real fan and academy player.
