Well, I can't see them playing him due to the volume of wingers already there, and they just bought one too, plus they can't loan him out to an english side in the same window. So that leaves clubs abroad... |  |

My Villa Guess on 16:52 - Jul 10 with 1631 views | J2BLUE | Why would Barca want him on loan? Overthinking this one IMO. |  |

You are thinking about it too much!! FFP is tight enough for Villa already, without spending £18m on someone to loan to another team. |  |

Barca's apparent offer to Hull was a loan with a view to a later purchase, presumably for some financial reason. |  | |  |

It was the original link to start with - a barca loan with view to buy (albeit from hull) Villa could play a blinder here really with regards to ffp Buy him back cheap, sell on fee already makes it cheaper. loan out with future sell on fee of a higher value.. they're quids in. |  |

The sell on fee doesn't really make it cheaper in real terms. They will be missing out on the cash receipt they would get if they did nothing. |  |

I'm sceptical as well, hence apparent, although Hull's owner said there was something in it. |  | |  |

Fair enough, that makes a bit more sense. Still think it would be a strange deal. I would imagine the Barca thing is dead if it was ever happening as he said he's going to the Prem. |  |

Its in his interests to fan the flames. |  |

Barca are a financial car crash so a loan would suit them, why Villa would pay to then loan him is a bizarre thought though |  |

Yeah it would be, I just don't see why Villa are interested in doing it tbh, I know there is the champions league selection homegrown thing, but can't see Philogene signing up for a squad place when he left because he didn't want to just be one. So just working out what other plans Villa could have for him that would make him sign for them. |  |

I think its more likely that they are signing him as a squad player, than signing him to loan out. Expecially with FFP. |  |

Yes aware of that, but then there's also counter stories to that, that the photo was actually weeks ago when he did meet with Barcelona. Obviously all depends which view to believe. it's all abit bizarre. |  |

I wonder how FFP treats returning Academy players? Are they still “pure profit” on the books, or once they’ve left the first time are they just the same as any other incoming player? |  | |  |
