We are signing him from Union instead of Bayern

 

[Charmless Man]

He’s Belgian in the same way Tony Cascarino was Irish

Fearful of some sort of whoosh here but Januzaj was born in Belgium.

Union buying him then loaning him to us.

Reading that it sounds like Berlin have an option to buy as part of their loan agreement.

But if they’re releasing him from the loan to come here then presumably that wouldn’t stand?

The article says that the option to buy has been triggered so the requirements of the loan deal with Bayern no longer apply. So Union can now loan him to SAFC if they want.

It’s all a little bizarre. Still plenty of twists and turns today I reckon.

Yep. Makes more sense. Wonder if there’s an option in our loan? Would be odd given they’ve literally just signed him.

Our option will be higher than what they have just paid Bayern, €1m+ won't be a lot if we go up.

I’m sure I’ve read that foreign loans have to include them but no idea if applies to all leagues.

He obviously won’t be as good a player if he’s not coming from Bayern.

 

[The Cabbage]

Free money for Union?

According to the article it's a one-year deal and then he goes back to Union.

Born and raised in Brussels.

But we'll also have the option to buy as it HAS to be included in the terms of the loan.

Of course Union could just set the fee unrealistically high if they don't want to actually sell him.

 

[biggie]

will be a good signing but slightly worse news than originally suggested

 

[rudd]

Ah, looks like Union Berlin have signed him permanently and immediately loaned him to us!

Aye, that was my understanding from what I read.

edit: Just seen the German journo links too.

Indeed, they may have decided he’s not what they need and can set a fee that guarantees them a profit.

Aye, I think that's more likely. They've just seen a way to make a quick profit so have taken up their option to buy from Bayern, give us a £2m fee and they've doubled their money if we go for it.

 

[sir rowell cummins]

The anti Marxists will be angry we’re dealing with union

 

[Stewie Ds Vet]

Sounds like Union are just trying to make some money here. They don't want him, but they've got a good price agreed with Bayern and its of limited risk to them.
