Can someone explain the Harry Wilson position?

[Fernhurst]

Is he technically still a Liverpool player?

[The Swan]

I thought we signed him on permanent contract. Could be wrong.

[Blawarmy]

He's our player

[RufusBrevettatemyhamster]

I'd hope for £12 million we got him totally and wholly as ours.

Think there is some accounting stuff in the payment structure pushing it to next season for FFP reasons.

Why is there any question, i thought we made a signing quite early in the summer window and there was no talk of a loan.

[paulbrookersmazydribbles]

It is a loan with an obligation to buy in July I think - because all references to Fulham signing him permanently were removed from the official website when a Liverpool reporter disclosed that the deal was an FFP workaround.

[MickyAdamsFamily]

I believe that it's deferred payment for FFP reasons, but whether it's a loan until then or if it was a permanent transfer with those lengthy payment terms is unclear to me, too. I also feel pretty confident that the Harvey Elliot tribunal fee (was it 3mil potentially rising to 4.7mil?) will have been incorporated in the deal, which I think is why we were the favored destination from Liverpool's perspective.

[Fernhurst]

Thank you, so not technically ours until July then.

[Tezer]

You can still sign him as a Liverpool player in your Fantasy League team!

[Cookie6262]

Yep east go where you want and set up goals!!!

As posted before season long loan then an obligation to buy for £12 million, think it helped to ease ffp... also think the £7 million they owe us for Harvey Elliott is in there somewhere so we will only pay £5 million to them.

[Jamie88]

First year is a loan with an obligation to buy in July. The Harvey Elliott fee is factored into it so we are basically only paying just over £1m per year for four years

What I don't understand, is why the club try to pull the wool over our eyes by telling us a different story when they announced the transfer

One of the wings

One of the wings

Or inside-right.

He's definitely not going back to Liverpool. The club have done some creative accounting to get round FFP, however, he will not be going back to Liverpool
