unless there was an option to buy, I don't buy that. at least with regards to the bigger clubs.

why? man U took Piqué on loan, with no option to buy, when he was a little nipper in need of premium playing time.

No they didn't. Pique signed a professional contract with Man U when he was 17 just like Cesc did with Arsenal. He spent four years there. There is no such thing as a four-year loan, unless you count the longing Catalan boys have to return to Barca once they leave. Barca paid 5 million for him in 2008 to get him back, after he failed to break the first team at Man U.

It makes no sense for a top team to loan Deulofeu without an option to buy.

that's not true. they poached him from Barça when he was too young to sign professionally there.

edit: crazy beat me to it.
