Well, let's agree to disagree. There are many factors that play in imo.Yeah I get you. But then if that made the difference then the guy never had the mentality to succeed here anyways.
Sometimes you got to get ahead of the food-chain before you have to fight with the sharks for the prize.

Etta Eyong was sold by Villarreal to Levante in a complex deal that could now work in Barça's favor. Although his release clause is €30m, the contract includes a key detail: if a club offers €15m or more, Levante must either accept the offer or pay Villarreal the profit that the sale would have generated. This makes a summer transfer at around €15m very likely. @QueThiJugues
Or more likely we just couldn't buy him.
You have to register players to loan them too.
Even overseas?
Work around could have been B team signing.
Wouldn't need to be LaLiga registered to be loaned out.
It would have affected registering other players on first team.
As for signing him, all of this seems to be dependent on the player himself. Players, in most cases, have the right to refuse the buy option if the club doesn't offer him enough. Etta could simply reject Villarreal and ask for a move to Barca.
However, I think he is destined for a midtable EPL move.
Damn, that combination would be incredible in 2009We probably could fit his transfer fee + salary in the FFP Lewa will create and go in next season with Eto'o/F.Torres combination.
