Heard a rumour that Henens agent has very close ties to olympiacos and engineered the whole deal as a way of getting him to everton due to the fact that both us and anderlecht would not budge on there valuation. I would imagine or hope a deal is in place for the end of his loan period

I seem to remember Utd did something similar with a kid from spurs going to Belgium for cheap then they bought him for about fifth of what spurs wanted. Can't remember his name though so don't know if he was any good.

I think you're talking about Zekky fryers. He's rubbish.

I'd heard it was to do with third party ownership.his agent does have close ties with a director at Olympiacos and is believed to be the third party. Everton had agreed a fee of around 1.5 million for the lad based on appearances. Then the third investor turned up unbeknown to Everton. as we are not allowed to deal with two clubs on one transfer and Anderlecht didn't want to pay any money out, the impasse occurred . Eventually the third party agreed to pay what was originally offered and loaned to Everton with a view to buy at the end of this season. Cost to us 1.5 + add ons, appearances etc upto a value of 3 million. Could still be a bargain.

Exactly kingy lad. We payed them his signing on fee and his full wages, there will be a clause for us to sign him for 1/2 milski at the end of the season or maybe even january.

Good business then I'd say ey boys! Every one can stop moanin now

hennen on a 12 month loan from olympiocos

This transfer business is complicated sometimes, why would they sign him to loan him out straight away? Are we just going to train him up to give back to Olympiakos or are we going to buy which to me seems a complete waste of time Olympiakos buying him in the first place or am I missing the point? however am glad we got him.

Can someone explain this please, we have him training for the past few months, don't sign him but loan him from another club who signed him, just to go inot the under 21s? what if he turns out to be superb, we are left looking like fools because bobby wouldn't pay 3 mil, this is so bizare

Completely agree.makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.baffled on this one

Hi ed
Can you explain this mess?

{Ed025's Note - its not just the fee pablo, its all the clauses they wanted mate, it included sell on fees, appearance money and other fees, they basically wanted jam on it...and we were not going to bend..

Yeh it is weird like could be because anderlecht messing us around

I reckon he's been sold to Olympiacos for much less than we were being quoted cus were in the Prem and with Rom and Mirallas sharing the same agent as Henen some sort of back door deal has been done between Everton and Olympiacos with reciprocal benefits and he will most likely sign permanently in the fulness of time! That's my theory!? COYB! :)

Ed, do you know if we have agreed a fee with Olympiacos to buy him at the end of the season loan? Was it a cleaver ploy from Bobby to get round the clauses or have we made a right mess of it? ta

{Ed025's Note - only time will tell on that one ham, and im not sure on the conditions mate, but hope to find out shortly..
