There is a difference...

Rather than a real pay-cut that would benefit us if he came back. This way, it benefits Lyon now but if we get lumbered back with him, he comes back on his full pay.
What idiot is taking a pay cut to benefit a billionaire owner of a football club because he overpaid him to begin with?

Sounds like he played the 2nd half and played well. Should be enough to ensure Lyon picked up the option, job done.

The weird thing is even if he’s brilliant in this loan it literally means nothing in terms of rating him, because it’s exactly the same as when we bought him. It’s very hard to see a way back for him if we can get £50m for him and Lo celso we’ve done very well, add on Dele money and maybe Doherty Winks and we’ve £100m to play with.

"When asked about Ndombele's return and the purchase option in his contract, Ponsot revealed that it was the player himself who wanted it included in the deal."
Something about that statement tells me the purchase price isnt as firm as we might hope!

He looks so good today. Just assisted a goal with a calm pass. Honestly, him doing well can only be considered a positive at this point.

Auba was on £350k p.w. at the Goon, reportedly he took a pay cut down to £100k ish (ie 70%) to go to Barca?

I suspect he got a huge signing on fee... dont forget he was essentially a free. So I bet he got a one off massive payment or something to go some way to making up the shortfall.

Talented footballer, but not suited to the modern game tbh. If he looks good in Ligue 1 again, hopefully some other team can remunerate us generously
