Well it's started about Barcelona are going to trigger the buy back clause on Del boy of €9million. I know this doesn't happen very often but in his current form why wouldn't they.

Because he still wouldn't get anywhere near their team. I think they will wait, as they have an option at the end of 2016/17 to buy him again so can afford to see if he develops.

Think that Hat Trick for the Spanish u21's is proof enough mate along with his form for us this season so far. He's a different player not the same as he was for Barcelona and can only get better. They knew what they were doing when they put that buy back clause on him.

And before anybody tells me to stop panicking i'm not just passing on what I read today lol.

this won't happen yet so don't panic, Barcelona will wait until the clause nears the end before taking action.

Delboy is a blue mate he loves it here plus he's a guaranteed starter he's not going anywhere

What exactly are the terms of the contract? If Barcelona offer the pre-agreed amount are we obliged to take it?
Just for the record I don't want to see him go. Defended him on here before. Just wondering if its pre-agreed that we have to let him go.
{Ed002's Note - The terms are not known as neither club has declared them - but it will not be as simple as that. Knowing what they have done with other clubs there will eb two very specific break points. And obviously the views of the player count.}

You're dead right about the views of the player Ed. Everton have Deulofeu's registration, he is our player. If at some time in the future Barcelona decide they want him back and the player says thanks but, no thanks, then he goes nowhere.
You can't make someone take a job they don't want. There may be some sort of payment involved, but I don't think he'll go back to Barca.

The details are now public. To activate the clause Barcelona have to play Gerry in their first team for a year. During that year he cannot be sold on. If after a year they decide to sell on then we have first refusal. If the asking price is too high then we get a large chunk of his sell on fee.
Therefore Barcelona would have to be convinced they are getting the finished article who can walk straight into their first team. That won't happen next summer.
