Barca want Geri back. All terms agreed apparently. Not too disappointed. Good player just lacked consistency.

Clause activated so it's a done deal.
I agree Jeff - not a huge loss. Hope he does well, now on to bigger and better for the blues.

Is it all done? I saw reports he didn't want to go back and sit on the bench in the World Cup year, so guessing he can still refuse?

Read that too Southern but its also been mentioned that its certain to be a deal where he is immediately sold on for a profit. He only signed 2 year deal.

Thing is boys, they may not be buying him back to play for them but so they can sell him for but more profit. Dunno. Maybe ed2 knows what is going on.
{Ed002's Note - A loan is possible.}

Good luck Geri definatly a gifted player but just couldn't cope with the pace of premier league.
30 Jun 2017 17:34:52
I don't think they can sell him for 12 months and then he will only have 12 months on his contract so can't see them getting much more than the money they've paid for him.

It was well documented that if Barcelona bought him back, they would not be able to sell or loan him in the first season.
{Ed002's Note - The can sell him but a percentage of any profit would go to Everton.}

Not convinced Barcelona would post it on their official site if they weren't confident of a deal. It states he'll be there until 2019.

Barcelona can not only NOT sell Geri within the first year, or loan him out, the details of the buyback clause mean he HAS to be a member of Barca's first team squad. This isn't rumour these are actual details from the agreement. Also he can't be forced back if he doeant agree terms, which are not yet agreed.

Another Barkley for me. On his day a great player. Unfortunately his day is less than often.
{Ed025's Note - could not agree more kingo..

I'm sick of us Evertonians having to constantly use the word "potential. "
How long before potential's not realized will people accept that the player isn't going to get any better?
