Titolo: Roma e la "buyback" clause

Leggo solo ora di questa strana procedura a cui la Roma si e' sottoposta 
con il Barcellona e che il Chelsea ha invece rifiutato per Romeu.
Leggo, copio e incollo... chiedo a voi cosa ne sapete di piu'...
se corrisponde al vero devo dire che la mossa della Roma e strana, molto 
strana..
If I’m reading the signs correctly, speculation over Cesc Fabregas’ 
future at Arsenal is about to go from smoke to brush fire as it looks 
like Barcelona are raising the cash to make a serious bid.
The first sign came when they “sold” Bojan Krkic to Roma for €12m which 
included a buyback clause that would force the European champions to 
take Krkic back at the end of the season for €13m unless Roma blocks the 
transfer. If Roma does block the transfer it would cost the Italians an 
additional €28m to keep Krkic.
Barcelona’s second move this week was to sell Oriol Romeu to Chelsea for 
€5m and again they tried to slip in a buy back clause which Chelsea has 
reportedly rejected.
Krkic’s gave a tearful farewell interview in which he plainly didn’t 
want to leave for Italy but was playing the part of the good soldier so 
that the Catalan club could raise some much needed cash. Speaking about 
the motivations for the two clubs, Krkic said:
"I hope my role is an important one at Roma. Each team has its own 
interests at heart."
Meanwhile, Romeu is being sold despite the fact that he was on the verge 
of breaking into Barca’s first team after a string of outstanding 
performances for the Barca B team.
By inserting the buy back clauses Barcelona seem to be pawning players 
in order to raise short-term cash that they pay back at a higher rate 
next season. For Roma this is a no-brainer. You take a chance on Krkic 
and you let him go for a small profit (minus wages) if he doesn’t work 
out. Not only that but with a huge buy out clause they know exactly how 
good he has to get in one year to keep him: 40 million Euros worth.
With Romeu whether the buyback clause is actually inserted into the deal 
is irrelevant as Barcelona have a well oiled tapping up machine that 
they have perfected over two Summers of unsettling Arsenal’s captain. At 
this point, all they need to do is start a story that Romeu will return 
one day and they will have both English and Spanish reporters lapping up 
quotes. Then if they need to they can drag out the former Barcelona 
stars to talk about Romeu’s mental condition and how distraught he is at 
having to play out the remainder of his contract. And if that doesn’t 
work, they can call Nuria Ventura Brusca, the Mayor of Romeu’s 
birthplace Ulldecona, and have him put in a few words of encouragement 
to get their player back. Why Chelsea would want to put up with that is 
unclear.
What is clear is that Barcelona are moving players around to generate 
money. Whether this turns into a formal bid for Cesc Fabregas is unknown 
but the English press will no doubt be reporting the speculation as fact 
regardless.


confermata la clausola... se la Roma vuole tenere lo spagnolo deve 
versare un totale di 40 milioni d'euro...
ahahhaha.. ma che razza di affare hanno fatto? Ed io che stavo a 
difendere la Roma per come si stava muovendo in questi mesi!!

 difendere la Roma per come si stava muovendo in questi mesi!!
Mi sa di accordo stile clausola di rescissione...se (al barça) non vogliono
venderlo ti tocca spendere un patrimonio, altrimenti se ne può parlare e
quella carta ha valore nullo
