The same deal we had with JCH when he was on loan with us I believe
Where did this obligation to buy thing come from? Anyone got an example of other players who've been signed in that way? I know loans have an option to buy but this is the first I've heard of obligation to buy
Exactly, the quote in the Telegraph was "If certain criteria are met it's an obligation to buy,”. We have no idea that those criteria have been met and the club have released a statement saying his loan has ended and he's gone back.I think the club would have mentioned it one way or the other, tbf, the initial announcement of his signing only say it's an option and not an obligation.
Isn’t a transfer embargo a bit misleading? I’m sure you can technically still buy players but you can’t register them
Could be that they’ve been sent to the auditors who have a backlog with all the other UK companies taking advantage of the extensionWhy are we still under a transfer embargo apparently the accounts are done and ready just a blip due to the pandemic what is the point in not putting them in, we have been down this road before with this owner.
I’m basing this on Barcelona, they signed someone but he just sat chilling for 6 months whilst they were under an embargo.Makes sense, you would be able to do everything but be given clearance to register him, dont most transfers actually come with a *, subject to fa/EFL approval kind of thing?

Of course UEFA/EFL are different and could
Have different rules - but I’m under the impression it’s the same restrictions
I don’t know the rules but I’d expect if the accounts were submitted that would suffice.Could be that they’ve been sent to the auditors who have a backlog with all the other UK companies taking advantage of the extension

If I was an agent of a player we were interested in think especially in these unusual times I might be saying hang on a bit.
Suppose it depends on how long your embargo is. Barce had 1 transfer window ban. If it’s aah 18 month ban I suppose you’re not going to want to pay someone to do fuck all for 18 monthsChelsea were under an embargo for 18 months or so? What happened there?

I might be wrong of course, but that was my understanding Of the transfer embargo’sI assume as soon as we post the accounts, it'll be lifted, having a quick look at the Chelsea situation, it was a 2 window ban, reduced to 1 window, they had 69 breaches of the rules over numerous seasons. They took the piss TBF.
Wouldn't read anything into it either way yet.
In 2018's retained list we announced JCH had returned to Rotherham from his loan.
Then on 18th June we announced he'd be joining us permanently but it wasn't until 1st July he officially signed once the window opened.
It's all a bit strange with Ben SheafWhere did this obligation to buy thing come from? Anyone got an example of other players who've been signed in that way? I know loans have an option to buy but this is the first I've heard of obligation to buy
That is the point the season isn’t over yet we have the play offs to go yet, that’s four clubs in all the EFL divisions not knowing what league they are going to be in.It's all a bit strange with Ben Sheaf
My understanding is that he is back with us after he completed his rehab at Arsenal and is going to sign (if he hasn't done so already)
Also David Bremang has been training at Barnsley after doing well against them in an U23 game
Maybe nothing can be official as far as Bremang is concerned until the Championship play offs are completed?
A month ago Barnsley hadn't published their accounts so they may be one of the many clubs like us with the transfer embargoIt's all a bit strange with Ben Sheaf

West Ham recently signed Benarama from Brentford on a similar basisAre there certain obligations to fulfil? Or is just conjecture on here?
I’m sure it had been reported that the only obligation is the one we have to sign him...
Edit: should have read above. Seems it has been reported. Albeit in the telegraph.
The CET is just clickbait - chances are he’s going to be signing.Seen the CET article just gone up then talking about number of games he started 23 they wasn’t sure maybe it was 25 before obligation to sign,Turner saying he struggled at times talking about the “get out” of deal etc etc
I really hope so.The CET is just clickbait - chances are he’s going to be signing.

Still feel it won’t happen but let’s seeThe CET is just clickbait - chances are he’s going to be signing.

Chaplin tooJodi Jones.
Chaplin too
We wanted to sign him permanently last summer didn't we? I seem to remember either him or Arsenal being hesitant to do a permanent deal straight away though...just in case he had a storming season in the Championship.Those were as we couldn’t sign in the transfer window though weren’t they? It seems very odd to have this arrangement unless he was being lined up by other clubs. A contract length and salary would have to be signed in advance
