we have had some very successful loans lately, i'm fine with them if we include an option to buy in the end
----------------------------------------------------------------------

We likely do try and include that, but that decision is held by the club who is loaning out the player and we have to recognise that at the time of the loan they may just want their player to get game time. For us to get a decent player even for a year at a relatively low cost, it makes perfect sense and may even help us attract other better players.

I'm all for it, although i agree having an option to buy is far more preferable.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I thikn the option to buy is one of the best options to look at it especially for the higher priced targets of 5m plus. Better to pay a bit extra in loan fees to gauge the players attitude and how he settles before splashing the cash, maybe not so cost effective short term but long term can show more effective conversion rate of successful purchases
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If we can get that included, then absolutely.

Just that the loaning team has the negotiating power and may refuse as they could view it as a limited release for game time is all

true, hence why you might need to include a loan fee, pay the wages for a year on top of the agreed price to sweeten the deal. Its perhaps a better option or more viable and likely to target promising young players at the big teams that have struggled to break through given the standard is so high.

there are 2 types of loan mostly, players the club don't want and young players the club might want.

i'm ok with a couple of loans each season, the ronnie season was ridiculous, had about 6 or something.

lager away to twente on loan, done deal
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hopefully with an option to buy for one euro.

It’s insane that we’ve 4 days left in the window and still haven’t strengthened THAT defence. Even this rumoured Barca LB move … loan fee of £1.3m, with no option to buy. Why? Just looks like another desperate, short term, kicking the can down the road move. I’ll absolutely take him though, versus nae cant.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think he has a minimum release clause of only 3m tbf.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah, didn’t realise that.

Still think we’re shopping in the wrong market there TBH. Even if he turns out to be good, chances of a guy on Barca’s books wanting to stick around in Scottish football beyond his “shop window” loan spell? Slim at best IMO. Time will tell, if he actually comes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
the problem being with that though is any team can then bid that release clause.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The buyout will be reverted back to 30m - here's the explanation why and of course we won't be paying that.

It underlines what a fooking shambles Barca are. Had the lad wanted out and pocket a fair few € for himself he could have refused to sign the extension. Celtic will be hoping to make a good impression and convince the guy he can make a guaranteed start and career here with a move to England in a couple of years, however unlikely that seems but Barca being the basket case they are there might be a new manager, president, incumbent LB and financial scandal to engulf the cants so maybe a gamble worth taking?

Key thing for me is that at £24kpw that's the kind of wage that the board expect a starting player to receive and is well in excess of Taylor's weekly and he's 3" taller!
