Anyone know / have any inside track on whether J-PM loan agreement has options to buy or triggers based on number of appearances?

I am worried that if he plays regularly there would be a financial cost which the higher ups will try and mitigate when its is apparent we are to all intents and purposes safe, which could be this weekend if we win which would put us 13pts ahead of 18th with 12 games to play. Fulham would then need to average a point a game more than us to over take us if we get no more points.

They still have to play Chelsea and Man City.

Assuming they lose those two then Fulham need 13 pts from 10 games to overtake us, as aforesaid, assuming we get no more points after a win on Sunday.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Pretty sure I read we have an obligation to buy after 15 appearances. However when that fee is due I'd imagine only club knows I.e fee to be paid at end of 18 month loan period or in instalments after 15th appearance etc.

I remember thinking at the time the deal seemed well structured to reduce risk on our side so I'm hopeful it won't have any effect on his playing time.

This differs somewhat.

Tbh if he scores goals he'll play and stay end of.

This is also how I understood it, although for some reason I recall it as being 20 starts over an 18 month loan period triggers the purchase clause so basically until the end of next season. My guess is we will know long before that whether he is considered a top level player.

He is obviously showing some skill in training otherwise he would not be playing at all.
