Phil - is it a straight loan or option to buy as conflicting info? on 13:50 - Aug 24 with 1897 views | vilanovablue | Being reported in the EADT that it is just a straight loan and we haven't included an option to buy. Given he is out of contract at the end of the season I wonder if we think we'll get him on a free. |  | |  |

I guess there'd be no need, if he's out of contract at the end of the season he's on loan with us, he could just sign a contract if we offered him one? |  |

To me that would look like the case, as he has an extension clause but there's no way Man Utd are going to activate that with his current reported wage. |  | |  |

Or if he does really well I expect we will probably just offer a nominal fee in January to try and secure him permanently and stop him being tempted elsewhere at end of the season. |  |

They will definitely extend it if he has a fantastic season and they can get £4-5 million for him. (Or even a half decent one where he's worth £1-3 million. |  |

If he's in the £65k wage bracket as some have suggested then that year of contract has them on the hook for upwards of £3.5m. Probably not worth renewing for the lower end of those values (but probably is for the upper end). |  |

Precisely. I guess he got a huge pay uplift when 2-3 years ago he looked like he would make the grade at Utd. But the last 2 years, he hasn't so they would not want to extend the deal for another year and be on the hook for £3.5M, and his wages would then make it much ore difficult to sell him. I think we will have agreed to pay a % of his wages, probably around 30%, and then at the end of the season he is on a Bosman, so all parties re-evaluate where we are. |  |

Man U have an option for a further season. I'd guess that any interest in agreeing an option might have come from our angle, trying to secure a price based on his current value rather than next summer if he rips up trees while here. |  | |  |
