It's really straight forward and does not require extra brains to understand, the result is similar to shooting yourself in the foot.
If we pretend that there are no benefits to co-ownership deals, then yes, this is 100% true.
Actually do, its Marotta that obviously doesnt, because he doesnt know when to co own and when to loan, with Juventus ending up in loss every single time...
What i am saying is that we should never do a co ownership again without a buy back clause, esp after the Giovinco incident.
And esp for this player. And considering that we never had a chance to bring another CF, the whole loan thing was a mistake in many levels.
OK I'll run through this again for the 4th or 5th time, nothing better to do.
- they generate cash for other areas of the market for the current window. Wiki Richmond Boakye, otherwise.
- the investment from the other team makes them more inclined to play the player than a loan deal, because they want to retain or
increase value (now pay attention here)
-
the player we sold is not the player we then buy back. Understand this, it is not the same player. Co-ownership deals last 1-2 seasons, by which the time the value of a player changes like any over the market.
It could decrease, increase or stay the same, all depending on performances. The Giovinco we brought back from Parma was not the same we sold. Giovinco is but one deal, have a look at the other players we make money on. Have a look at those we co-own who then do poorly and retain no value. Palladino, Paolucci, Lanzafame, Ekdal, Criscito, Ariaudo. Just a few winners for us. We'll buy good players back, we'll sell the rest and make money. Make money. It's not just about the Giovinco and Immobile's, players we try to buy back. Those are the 5%.
If a player has done well then his value increases. SO WE HAVE TO PAY MORE TO BUY THE HALF BACK. This is the same as any player on the market.
The idea that we are entitled to buy the half back for the same or similar price is absolute rubbish, rubbish. You pay 50% of what the player is
now worth. Right now Immobile's value is very similar to what we sold it for, because he hasn't really done an awful lot so far. Maybe's he's worth €12m instead of €10m, but that's it. So we aren't going to offer Genoa much more than we what we sold him for, ergo, he'll probably stay there.
If the clubs can't agree anything after 1 year he stays at Genoa, no questions, don't bother. If they can't agree after 2 years it goes to a blind auction. This is the only instance where you can get a great deal on a successful player, because it all depend on how much money and how much balls the other club has.
