Marc Crosas from Barcelona

Lets not get too worried by that it sounds worse than it is. That is only next season. If he does not impress we will have him longer.

I honestly cant see them taking him back.

By the way. What if the player himsef does not want to go back to Barca due to limited first team chances what what would happen then?

 

good deal so far

 

Excellant peace of business if true.

Lawwell at it again :icon_mrgreen:

 

Lad had 12months on contract refused to sign a new contract he might not want to rejoin barca since he wanted away , He wants 1st team footy not bench or reserves ,

Just cause Barca match the buy back fee does not mean that he will want to move back ,

 

does that buy back thing mean that if he turns out to be a really quality player then barca can take him bak for 2 million whether we like it or not??

 

the final decision will be from the player. if Crosas refuses to go back, he will stay here.

Barca seem to be confident of the deal considering they posted it up on their website of the deal in relative detail.

welcome Crosas. hope you do well at this fantastic club.

 

looks like a good deal for a good player with potential, welcome to the club Marc :bbpd:

 

Is there any indication that he will be flying into Celtic anytime soon. Like maybe in the morning sign a contract and do medical then get unveilled before the game?

Now that would bring the crowd in I would say

 

Signs of an agreement with Celtic for Crosas

www.fcbarcelona.cat


FC Barcelona and Glasgow Celtic have almost reached an agreement on the transfer of Marc Crosas for half a million euros fixed plus 900,000 in variables

The Barcelona club have almost come to an agreement with Glasgow Celtic for Marc Crosas transfer to the Scottish club. FC Barcelona will receive half a million euros fixed and 900,000 in variables depending on the players appearances, qualification for the Champions League and titles won.

On the other hand, FC Barcelona reserves 25% of the economic rights depending on a possible future transfer and an option to buy him back in 2009/10 for two million euros.

I dont want to burst the bubble, but the English version on the Barca web-site says we have ALMOST come to an agreement.
Wait till he's holding a Scarf above his head in the main stand !!

 

It's basically like a loan deal only if crosas becomes good under us (good enough for barca, that is) then barca will pay us

Would much rather we had him on a normal contract though

 

This is a normal contract in nowadays football.

Dont forget Barca got stung for Pique and Fabregas who both left for nothing and Barca just forked out 5mil to get pique back. They are looking after themsleves while we get a player who is young and very talented.

Could be the way forward for us

 

WE ARE UP THERE WI THE BIG SIGNINGS AND RANGERS WILL HAVE NO MONEY NEXT YEAR, BEFORE THE SEASON STARTS WE ARE ALREADY IN THE DRIVING SEAT.... FEELS GOOD

 

FFS guys wait till he signs, dont jinx it !

 

i was loud about rangers gonna get pumped, that wasn't jinxed, this yin won't be either, the boy wants to play for us, get a shirt on him and put him out there against man city tomorow! MON THE HOOPS!

 

lol you crazy scott, you crazy

 

its the high percentage finnish beer i've been drinking!!

mon the hoops, thanks to the huns for buying us this barca guy with the money

 

Hi new to all this so cant post URLs from other websites but bbc says this about crosas:


Barcelona have agreed a deal "in principle" to sell midfielder Marc Crosas to Celtic for £712,000, according to the Catalan giants.
Celtic appear to have seen off competition from Sevilla, Sporting Gijon and Sampdoria for the 20-year-old defensive midfielder's signature.
"Barcelona has the right to 25% of any possible future transfer," the club said on their official website.
BBC Scotland has learned that some details have yet to be finalised. Barcelona said Crosas's transfer to the SPL club included add-ons, and revealed: "Also, Barcelona has an option of re-purchase at the end of the season 2009/10 for two million euros (£1.58m)."


Crosas, a defensive midfielder who played for Barca in pre-season friendly victories over Dundee United and Hibernian, made his first-team debut for Barcelona two seasons ago but has only made one appearance since.
He went on loan to Olympique Lyonnais in January and played eight times for the French champions before the end of the season. Meanwhile, Celtic are also believed to have ended their interest in Auxerre defender Gabriel Tamas in order to pursue other defensive targets.

Good first post me thinks!

 

Cheers ill drink to that:icon_mrgreen:

 

lol old buddies last here.
