Believe when I see a Loan + Obligation being mentioned
If I am understanding the rules right, I believe this would, in fact, be a loan + option/obligation as he was a registered Betis player when the window started. Surprising its being talked about as a permanent deal.

His agent?
Trying to get a better contract.
Could be.....

Could also be Barca trying to save face a little. Everyone knows their financial issues and they have to sell. Wouldn't be the worst PR to say that even though they have to sell all the players are desperate to stay.

Or maybe it's one journo getting things wrong, and everyone else jumping on the band wagon.

Literally lots of reasons.

All agreed between Barça, Tottenham and the representatives of Emerson Royal. Signing when falling, so it seems

Can't he just stay on his feet to sign? Modern footballers go down too easily...

I mean, Tanganga has started in place of Doherty in all league games. Now we bring Emerson. Doherty must be looking for a club, for his own sake now? He won’t get many minutes.

Barca still have the prestige, it's not inconceivable that he's always dreamed of being a regular for the first team, feels like he's a couple of steps away from achieving it and is suddenly having the rug pulled out from under him.

I actually can't believe how bad the Doherty signing has been. The club really made a boo boo with that one.
We all knew at least one deal like this would happen when we brought in Mourinho. An ill-advised 'win-now' move that would burden the club with an ill-fitting player who couldn't be moved on that would end up out-lasting Mourinho. It was quite literally the most obvious move the club would make from day one of Mourinho's tenure.
