    Perm Deal to loan with obligation to loan. Brentford should just tell GSB to get on their bike. what a tidal wave of negotiations on deadline day.

    Benrahma, right back and centre back cover with minimal outlay, you must admit it's shrewd wheeling and dealing. I just want to see the photo of Benrahma posing in an Irons shirt then we can get behind the team and move on

    Not really. It just kicks the can down the road. Next summer we'll now need to replace Benrahma and Dawson, as well as Noble and whoever else is out of contract.

    Yeold, I thought it was a loan with an obligation to buy from Brentford & to sign from Benrahma?
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    apparently they argued about the loan with obligation and now its loan with option. they have proper swindled brentford
  • HamstewHamstew
    They've managed to dodge spending again haha. Unbelievable! On a positive maybe it means they are selling up.

    Loan with option is a common way to do business. How have we swindled Brentford? There was an issue with the medical so why take the risk? Anyway i though you supported West Ham and not Brentford.

    Loan with an obligation to buy it is, according to Ex and a few others. £4m up front, £21m at the end of the season with £5m potential add-ons.

    Yep that seems a bit better. Why is it so higgledy piggledy though? Like not just this but everything?

    Maybe the 'alleged' new owners will pick up the £21m bill. Who knows?

    If you ignore the fact that we will be on Brentford’s black list for the future, this is a very good deal for West Ham (?) and Brentford have been done over good and proper. Had it been known before today that a loan without obligation was an option, I would imagine a host of other clubs, including Zaha FC would have been circling. You could argue sully has pulled one out of the bag using some interesting tactics

    Pressure is really on the player to deliver, because if he doesn’t, then he will be sent back and his chance of a Prem pay day will be gone forever.

    Scratch all of above if it is an obligation to buy.

    But it is with obligation according to Ex -

    Just seeing that picture sent a shiver down my spine and haunt my dreams. Let's see how you like it OCS!

    Yea I don't really like how it's happened

    But this seems to take a lot of the risk off this deal

    Hes great we can activate the clause (like Soucek) but if he's not he will leave as Anderson comes back and we haven't just wasted £30mil

    Champo

    It sounds like it is an obligation to buy. We’d better not get relegated I guess!

    So did he actually fail any part of the medical or not??...

    Moyes said he hadn’t, but then went on to say he didn’t want to discuss a medical as it is private?

    Awesome!!

    Jeez that was dramatic
  • HamstewHamstew
    So do we have to buy him? If so what's the point of it saying loan?
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    What does it matter?
  • stevesteve
    Alls well that ends well......

    For fellow shirt number geeks, OS article states he'll be wearing No9.

    Something doesn’t feel right about it to me. Hope it all works out well

    WHU, Apologies but can you explain this to me - Hes great we can activate the clause (like Soucek) but if he's not he will leave as Anderson comes back and we haven't just wasted £30mil. The deal is an obligation to buy so won't we be spending the money next year?
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    If he does better than Anderson then it is a good signing. I assume he will be pushing to play Instead of Fornals.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    The guardian reckons the deal is not totally obligatory but based on further medical tests?

    Sounds sensible if the medical uncovered a potential risk.

    Great deal and a very exciting player. Well done to the club.
