Jarrell's Quansong

Weird that Slot improved a lot of players but neither Quansah or Elliott really pushed on.

Quansah had pace and good mentality but always looked a bit lightweight and his biggest issue was distribution - teams would happily let him have the ball and just mark Virgil.

If we had a weakness last season it was not having a squad Slot really trusted but he's sorting it out big time. We need a proper team-building preseason to get over the churn though.
Not sure that is right, though, he had a good track record of developing young talent in Holland and was supposedly one of the reasons he was hired.
 
My cousin was getting ordained to be a priest about forty years ago and he was with a group of young priests on the scotch in the pub where the ordination was being celebrated, and my dad turned to me and said fucking hell lad that's a cake and arse party if I've ever seen one. I have never known exactly what he meant as I was too scared to ask and I never heard it again, but it stuck with me.
I like that you made the term seem more inclusive. Everyone can enjoy cake and arse, not just the gays.

And why not? Two of my favourite things.
 
Yeah in my mind it's a zero boundary Roman Orgy / Dungeon in a Berlin nightclub rather than a game of soggy biscuit in a boarding school. Not that I'm judging the soggy biscuit lads, whatever works.

Its called oogie cookie in the states.

It wasn't gay though, not at all, it was just competitive wanking among many very not gay fraternity pledges, and not gay at all sports teams. It was part of a long tradition of exceedingly no homo practices stretching back to the Greeks mandating nudity in gymnasia.
 
Have we ever bought someone back under one of these deals? Either way, great bit of money for him.
Good question, don't think we've ever sold anyone with a buy-back clause that actually was worth buying back.
Will be interesting to see how Sepp and Quansah do in the next few years though.

Struggling to think of any example from any club? I think when we sell, we won't buy back anyway. I mean there's no down side, but would rather a sell on, than buy back, or just straight up cash now.

I think Chelsea has done it a few times.
 

Stats speak for themselves, but for some reason THAT quansah wasn't on display this year. He's had 1 professional season looking a beast and 1 professional season looking iffy. Could it be as simple as he needs to be coddled? Or the first season he was playing without expectation so klopp let him flourish? This season clearly slot wanted to try him, as he started first game of the season. Could he not cope with the increased expectations? Who knows. We never will.

Ultimately, it's a good deal and the buy back clause could be incredible for us if he excels.
 
Buy back clauses are absolutely fucking pointlessly shite.

Can anyone even name 1 that's transpired, let alone worked out? Clubs move on pretty sharpish.

I mean, this has been done before and yes, there are numerous examples from Real Madrid.

I think City had one on Lavia and choose not to trigger it when he went to Chelsea.

I think it’s a risk free move - if the player develops enough to warrant a starting place at Liverpool, then we’ve negotiated a “fair” price which is under what Leverkusen could likely ask for.

If he doesn’t, we’ve banked a good fee.

There’s no downside to the structure of this deal at all.
 
I assume that if you get a large buy back fee like this, you give something else up, lower fee, less up front, something else.
