Projecting a player's mindset years down the road let alone weeks is really difficult, just look at the Tanguy meltdown in the beginning of the window or Son's difficult first season vs today. Really glad to hear Reguilon is happy and fitting in though. It seems from former players like VDV, Wimmer, others and from watching All or Nothing doc that there is a really healthy, welcoming atmosphere at the club that makes players feel part of a family that is a really ingrained part of the club's culture.

2 or 3 years is a long time in football. Even an ITK can't call whether a player will settle in well or not. He might be here 6 months through winter and lockdowns and pine to get back to Spain at whatever cost. Hopefully he loves it here and wants to stay but there are far too many variables to call it.

Agree.too many variables and our success being one of them . We should just look forward to him being here and not be concerned about him leaving already!

Sergio buy back clause
RM cannot just demand we sell him back at profit in the next 3 windows as a guide. Not that simple! The player has to want to go back! And I cannot see that happening, as he is loving life in London, and with us, and wants to stay a very long time
How can I vote this as funny, optimistic and wtf all at once? He’s been here 2 weeks.

People always seem to underestimate personal terms in these kinds of deals. Buy backs, first refusal, and release clauses. All of these require the player to agree.

Granted, if your buy back is with Real Madrid, the concern is that after 3 great years in London, Madrid come in and offer a deal we can/won't ever match.

I'm not at all questioning Herc but, Wales' most attractive man, Steve Cooper seems to think it is about not wanting to sell the kid on the cheap. Referring to Rodon as "one of our biggest" assets.

I hypothesised that there was disagreement about selling him in the club but Trix nixed that so if it's not that and it's not about money what else could it be? Personal?

I think it was alluded to that he had some injury issue. Not sure if there is something in that stopping us from pulling the trigger.

Surely the entire money "package" would be factored in, including both wages and fees into the "not about money" part?

Any specifics? I can't think of a single footballer who hasn't been injured at some point. Bodies heal, but it depends are we talking Ledley's knees or a tweek?
