Re: Kion Etete- Spurs striker

And the Rothmans Football Yearbook had Ingram down as our record signing until Sam Hammam’s spending spree nearly twenty years later I believe.

Re: Kion Etete- Spurs striker

A later Tweet from the same man says Spurs have insisted on inserting a buy back clause in the deal for a player they still rate a lot - sounds good, but it could mean if he does well, we may have to lose him for a relatively small fee.

I see it as good news that they rate him highly enough to insist on a buy back clause.

Unless it's just a creative way to play the loan system.

If we sign another striker on loan that'll be 3 loans (Philogene and Kipre the other 2)...we're allowed 5 so would that mean another 2 opportune signings on deadline day?

Re: Kion Etete- Spurs striker

Another CB and winger and we would have some real strength in depth then
Also we can move a couple out on loan

I suppose if he comes here and plays to a standard that means Spurs want him back then we’re definitely going to benefit on the pitch, even if we are unlikely to be able to do so in terms of value for money when he leaves.

As for loans, we were told that the plan was to use all five of them, but I’d been assuming that had died a death because we have made so many permanent signings.

Re: Kion Etete- Spurs striker

We'll probably keep 2 loan slots for January in case of injuries to key players.

Cardiff can purchase a player that they otherwise may not have been able to acquire had it not been for the clause. In addition, the buyback figure is usually significantly higher than the original transfer fee.

Thanks for that - I was wondering how they worked.

Appears a good piece of business from City to me based on that article.

Thanks, informative read that.

Re: Kion Etete- Spurs striker

Is the buy back clause that relevant? Wouldn't such a clause depend on the player agreeing to return? And why would a player getting regular first team football go back to a club where he stands little or no chance of playing in the first team?

Re: Kion Etete- Spurs striker

Godfrey Ingram.

A very curious ‘transfer’ all round especially when you consider that the club was skint at the time.

The way i see it is that if he plays well for us and attracts interest from another club, then we will get a fee for selling him back to Spurs before he is sold on at a higher price tothe interested club.
