has nothing to do with being a small club imo.
loan with option to buy means you have one season to find out if the
player is good enough/fits your team before you actually buy him.
if not, it was only a loan. if yes, you buy him. i like it.

ManUTD dumped Evra and people were complaining we are buying him - the same with pirlo, khedira was injured all season, tevez is a troublemaker past his prime they said, cuadrado is a chelsea reject...
jet we still signed them. didn’t turn out too bad so far.
and i said
decent. not great. nor

worthy. but decent.
digne is talented and can defenitely be an upgrade over the likes of holebas and cole...
and dzeko is of course an upgrade upfront, but their biggest "signing" imo is that
they did not sell pjanic. non-biased this is a decent mercato.
