Karl Etta Eyong

I'm glad we're not doing what Chelsea is doing, buying everything that looks decent and loaning them out. We have Lewa in his last year with Tuna as backup. Next season we can focus on a new 9.

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.
Well, let's agree to disagree. There are many factors that play in imo.
I'm not speculating it's the way I'll hypothesize right now - but just think about this scenario... Etta is working his way up, he's only thinking about getting better. Barca buying him and loaning him out might interferer with his hunger - that's not the equivalent of him not having the mentality to succeed at Barca. It might just mean he needed that 1 year chasing his dream instead of having it on a silver platter for him to succeed in the "big leagues".
But anyway, let's wait and see how he finishes of the season - dude might end up having mid LL qualities after all...

He looks like a capable footballer. I like his overall game but it's hard to gauge based off a month of football. Could play on a wing too so there's another advantage where manager could mix it up with Raphi and Rashy.

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

I don't get it.

All I'm seeing is a Villarreal buyback fee of around 12m.

I don't get it either but I like him as an option for next summer, hope he has a good season and that we'll be able to afford him. Much more realistic than Alvarez who I'd prefer.

Yeah doesn't seem as simple as made out.


If the accepted offer is between € 3 and €7.5 million , 80% of the capital gain would go to Villarreal and 20% to Levante.

If the sale is priced between 7.5 million and 15 million euros, both entities would receive 50% of the capital gain, and if Levante sells for more than 15 million euros , 80% of the capital gain would go to the Granota club and 20% to Villarreal.

However, Villarreal CEO Fernando Roig Negueroles reserved the right of first refusal regarding any possible offers Levante may receive. If Levante decides to execute the offer and Etta returns to La Cerámica, Cádiz would not receive any compensation but would retain 50% of the future economic rights.

According to Cadena SER, if Villarreal does not exercise this right and the official offer received by Levante exceeds €15 million, but they reject it because they prefer to keep the player at Orriols, Villarreal can demand immediate payment from Danvila of the capital gains generated based on the value of that offer and without waiting for a subsequent sale.
If Levante were to transfer the player this coming summer for the value of his clause, they would receive 21.6 million euros, Villarreal would receive an additional 5.4 million to the 3 they already received for his departure from La Cerámica (8.4) and of which 50% would be paid to Cádiz.

So basically, all these numbers are for 50% of the rights.

Except for a buyout clause where it would be 100%

In the end, paying the clause this summer would have been most simplest, for anyone. But I think at that point Eyong didn't look a 10m player

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.

Well it would have counted as an expense of the club but not directly towards salary cap unless he played for the A.

So no different than 10m going towards the stadium or for the Basket team for example.

Which leads me to my next question, do you think this is what Madrid are doing with their free signings?

That Mbappe is purely amortizing at his wage per season, and that the 150m signing on fee is creatively accounted so it is not amortizing directly on his contract, but just a club general expense.

Oh and lastly agreed. I don't see anything better than Nico Jackson, who I don't think is top tier despite his current club.

Couple of situation under which we sign him.

If he explodes, we could be having a Eto'o at Mallorca situation, in which case yes 100% sign him, he won't cost more than 40m.

Outside of that, he would be a back up and we already have that with Torres, we don't need two backs up, because even after lewa leaves, I want to here no fuckery about Torres being our starting striker.

No serious team has Garcia at starting CB and Torres as starting striker, I hope flick understands this soon

In another world, we flick Torres after 2 good seasons, use 15m of that money on this kid and use the extra towards JULIAN ALVAREZ!!!!

We probably could fit his transfer fee + salary in the FFP Lewa will create and go in next season with Eto'o/F.Torres combination.
