I think he deserves a thread.

Weird situation with him, no idea if we actually own him. Anyhow, another great game last night against Barcelona, Sociedad finished unbeaten, 1-1. Great with the ball, how Pep like it. I have no idea why he is not a starter for the argie national team and they still stick with Romero.

Anyway, I hope we are getting him soon.

As it was explained to me, we bought him, sold him and added a clause in his contract that we can resign him for the same price as long as we do it within 2 years.

Now that's a good deal.

Thorough explanation of the deal here -

The bit about retaining 30% of his rights, is that not third party ownership and therefore against the rules?

The 3rd party ownership rules are for players playing in the Premier league. There is nothing to say we can't have part ownership of players in other leagues.
