Jean-Clair Todibo | signs for West Ham on loan with option to buy

Can we swap Sancho for him once they've bought him?

I think there's a cool down period that extends to next summer. Someone can correct me on that.

I think they covered that with the 'direct or indirect' transfer. That would probably fall into an indirect way of doing the transfer.

They've also then extended it so that - for us - it isn't just if we're in the same competitions as Nice, it now extends to past next summers window as well. So we can't do direct or indirect transfers with Nice for 3 windows now, even if we're not in the same competition as them for the last two.

Meanwhile, the other multi club owners plod merrily along...

Fair enough. West Ham are really trying to go for it with their purchases this year. Hope he rejects them and goes to Juventus so they can come back calling for Maguire.

Repeating it won't make it true.

Leipzig and Salzburg are the only clubs who have gotten around the rules. United and Girona are getting away easy this year, all other multiclubs have had it harder.
 
Why do talented players want to go waste their time at nothing clubs like West Ham? Why would he not pick Juventus.

Because Juve haven't got the money or they don't want to risk the money, West Ham are relatively cash rich this summer so can provide the money.

This is Tobido/agent realising Nice will not accept whatever Juve are offering and going for the next best option.

If he proves himself in the prem there will be another big move opportunity I'm sure nit that far down the line anyways,

Pretty similar situation to Yoro coming to United instead of Real

Interesting that it’s a loan with just an option to buy

So if he is clearly too good for them, in a years time he can simply reject them permanently and join United instead?

(Similar to Tevez did I guess?)

We can sign him next summer can’t we?

I thought I read somewhere that the transfer ban between us and Nice wont be lifted until after the next summer transfer window....unless I heard wrong.

Maybe. I thought we agreed with UEFA not to sign players from Nice until 2025 but we can do then - but can’t remember exactly

I still think it’s extremely unfair when city have bought about 3 players from their feeder teams already this summer, but whatever I guess
 
Conspiracy theory, but I’ll choose to believe that INEOS have proposed a loan with an obligation so that West Ham have enough cash to get AWB. I mean, why would they?

That's a good point.

Wonder how todibo feels about this move. playing for west ham instead of Juventus
 
Damn. Why are Nice selling to one of our direct rivals for 8th place.
 
Fab doubling down on the obligation to buy rather than option to buy

 
He’s banking on having a good season in the EPL and United getting UCL football next season.

Can't join us before January 2026 if what is said here is accurate.
Everyone might just have moved on from that deal then. I'd expect he'd be about double the transfer worth he is now.

The ban ends after next summers window so we still couldn't sign him before January 2026 even if it is option rather than obligation to West Ham.
