Was an option mentioned when we loaned Sheaf?

NVM, found it

"The 22-year-old joins the Sky Blues from the Premier League side until the end of the 2020/21 season, subject to EFL, Premier League and FA approval.


The deal includes the option for the Sky Blues to sign Ben on a permanent transfer at the end of the season."

In fairness I'm not too bothered it's only a loan, there is a degree of risk management over signings

Yep it was always explicit that we were obliged to buy him after a year. Many fans wanted Robins to renege on the deal after the first season.

That's absolutely fine. Loan a player like this and there is more left in the kitty to strengthen other areas on permanents. He is relatively young still, so I think it makes sense. Probably an astute move actually, rather than paying loads to get him out of his contract when we still need to see him demonstrate his ability fully. Very happy with this signing!

Yup, there was always going to be few loans, it doesn't mean there won't be more permanents incoming.

I’m hearing Binks hasn’t turned up for media duties. Make of that what you will.











Oh damn… he’s signed.

We've used a loan spot to fill a specific gap in our squad. Can't complain, that's what the loan system is there for. Purchase options aren't always disclosed either.

When we signed Sheaf was it immediately public knowledge that it was a loan with an option to buy?

Strange that the Italian source mentioned a €2-3m fee to then sign on loan. Perhaps it’s been structured to reduce our expenditure this season as it was with Sheaf.

Nixon first reported it as a loan to buy about a month and a half before it was official and then it was officially announced as a loan to buy as well.

It was public with Sheaf that we had an option to buy but doesn’t mean one hasn’t been negotiated into this loan. They don’t have to declare it or make it public.
Would hope we have one.

Interesting. I was sure that was the case. Wondering if it’s the case we’ve got a similar type of deal lined up with Binks.

Yeah it was always known that Sheaf was signed with the view to a permanent signing.

With Sheaf it was a bit different, it wasn't an option to buy, it was a committment to buy, the deal was already done, we essentially just deferred the payments. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see this deal made permanent in January if he does well

At the very least this gives us some decent cover, some quality on the bench, and the option to rest Fadz when we need to.

Felt a bit disappointed when I saw it was a loan. Been a bit spoiled so far this window haven't we?

Still a decent signing and maybe we can consider making it permanent later on.
