Quote from: jwarry on September 07, 2025, 10:35:34 AMQuote from: SaddVillan on September 07, 2025, 10:33:41 AMHarvey Elliott is only likely to play in 9 games between now and the 31st of December.Here's why:When a player is signed with a buy obligation and the obligation is triggered by say making a number of appearances, at that point the player’s signing costs (loan fee plus transfer fee) must be included in a club’s accounts going forward.The amortisation costs of that player signing would be included, pro rata, from that point onwards. It is not something that can be pushed forward until next summer because the deal is considered done from the moment a clause is triggered. Once a deal is certain to be made permanent, clubs must recognise it as such.Villa will have to include the sums of signing Elliott from the point he plays his 10th game, but given their greatest headache is with UEFA, the European governing body whose assessment period for its ‘squad cost rule’ runs from January to December, it's most likely that his 10th (and triggering) apeaeancd will be after 31st Dec.Bloody hell, how many more rules can PL and UEFA have to stitch us up?Couldn't...couldn't we have just upped the number of games??

Is there actually any basis to that? Or is it assumed?
I dont think playing ten games will trigger the clause immediately, it just means we are obligated to pay the £35m one the loan contract is over, so next summer.The ten games is a weirdly low number unless Emery completely snubs him.
Is it really from The Athletic? Is there a link to the article?I mean that sounds pretty mad. I suppose it could be feasible if it’s 10 league starts for example… but even still, seems pretty crazy.
