Eredivise and Dutch though, absolute shoe-in we'd be interested.We're 'interested' in the way that we're 'interested' in virtually every player that gets tweeted about on a daily basis that will amount to nothing is the likeliest scenario
Right.. but we'll do nothing, just remain interestedEredivise and Dutch though, absolute shoe-in we'd be interested.
Hey, I don't make the rules. It is what it is.Right.. but we'll do nothing, just remain interested
Yea, because we never actually sign footballers, only other teams do. Christ.Right.. but we'll do nothing, just remain interested
Did I say that? No. But you can't sit there and say we operate just like any other big team in the market, because we don'tYea, because we never actually sign footballers, only other teams do. Christ.
You have no idea how we/other teams actually ‘operate’. All you can see is that they sign players and we sign players, and they miss targets as do we. The rest is a combination of fan and media gossiping and complaining.Did I say that? No. But you can't sit there and say we operate just like any other big team in the market, because we don't
The last four teams on that list are just talent farms what will want to make a substantial profit in a couple of years.I’d love us to sign him so much. Hope it’s true that we’re interested

It's actually true. It was a deal between all parties, PSG didn't want to let him go and the player didn't want to leave permanently, the initial idea was a loan but PSV wanted to make money out of it, so all parties agreed on Simons leaving on a free while PSG would get a buy option.Buy back clause but left PSG on a free
Sounds plausible
That’s one of the worst business deals I’ve ever heard!It's actually true. It was a deal between all parties, PSG didn't want to let him go and the player didn't want to leave permanently, the initial idea was a loan but PSV wanted to make money out of it, so all parties agreed on Simons leaving on a free while PSG would get a buy option.
How is it a bad deal? Everyone got what they wanted, the player got the loan situation that he wanted, as did PSG(who also gave themselves one more year to convince the player to extend) and PSV are either paid 6m for a loan or keep the player.That’s one of the worst business deals I’ve ever heard!
Are you sure United didn’t negotiate it?
Because PSV are getting £6m for a player who is probably worth at least 5 times that.How is it a bad deal?

PSV weren't getting the player without that clause, the player requested it. They had every need to agree on that clause with the player if they wanted him.Because PSV are getting £6m for a player who is probably worth at least 5 times that.
Yes they might have got a player for a season who was brilliant but they have signed him on a free transfer. They had no need to agree to any future fee if he was on a free!
Unless I’ve misunderstood it and PSG agreed to release him on a free on the basis of this fee being inserted but it still feels ridiculous and a bit pointless
Completely agree, this deal benefits nobody but PSG!Because PSV are getting £6m for a player who is probably worth at least 5 times that.

EDIT - just checked and Simons contract ran out in June/July 2022 so signed on a free transfer for PSV being out of contract so would have had absolutely zero obligation to PSG for a future transfer fee
Then I did misunderstand. Apologies. Thought it was being insinuated that they agreed the fee with PSG not the player.PSV weren't getting the player without that clause, the player requested it. They had every need to agree on that clause with the player if they wanted him.

Haven't PSG initiated his buy-back clause already? Pretty sure I read that it's a formality at this point.Tweet

That's why it says "PSG's Xavi Simons," PSV confirmed it themselves.Haven't PSG initiated his buy-back clause already? Pretty sure I read that it's a formality at this point.
