A fair amount will depend on bonuses. Salary will be 5m-7m - but CL, 20+ goals etc. might be worth £1-5m - who knows

Botafogo beat PSG 1-0 in the early hours. By my reckoning, assuming PSG beat Seattle, A Madrid will now have to beat Botafogo by at least 3 goals to advance.

Yeah I thought 10-15 would be way too low as soon as I posted it A bit lazy to do the quite simple math. Unsure about their wages but still a poor guess. Cheers.

Probably 18-20 mill pounds a year.

£10-15m/year amortisation, £6-8m/year wages I reckon. Assuming £50-65m transfer fee and £125-150k/week wages

What is the “yearly cost” for a player like Isak/Tonali when it comes to amortisation and wages? 10-15m?

I suspect our transfer strategy is broken due to the changes at boardroom level, and we may have lost the people that can force deals through. We’ll see though, I’d love to be wrong.

I’m 100% certain that he won’t want to leave this summer and that we won’t sell him. I’m pretty certain that he will leave next summer though. Because I don’t see us strengthening the squad enough this summer to be able to cope with both CL and everything domestically. I just don’t think we’ll get enough quality/numbers in this summer. I would say that we need at least 2 more or less guaranteed starters and then 3 players that are very talented that can start and be rotated with others as well as challenging for regular starts. Do that and yeah anything is possible. But I don’t see us getting 4-5 players in. Hope I’m wrong.

Everyone panicking just needs to chill - we’ll spend big and there is loads of time left! The budget for incomings will significantly change if a big gun goes so that might be a reason for the delay (if one has to go then hopefully Gordon rather than Isak)! It’s not the Mike Ashley windows where we’ll try and fail to sign a Leicester reserve on loan!

Ha ha my exact thoughts but the gullible idiots do!

I remember that shirt being the first misstep with adidas at the time, don't mind it too much now. A little underwhelmed by the leak, the one we thought we were getting with the stripes looked better imo. Picked up the original and the 95-95 home for about £30 in 2019 before all the prices went mad in lockdown.

This is exactly what is happening. We tried to go early if people recall but we're rejected 3 times. (Huijsen, Delap, Mbuemo).

Dewbai has fallen

Let them lose their shit man I'm more than happy to wait and see and, if it all goes Pete Tong, listen to them all shout "told you" I get the frustration, I guess, but the pecking order is clearly set. Big guns are shopping first. Feeder clubs lining up cheaper replacements for their own, soon to be snaffled up players, whilst the Wanabees wait.......patiently

I mean being patient and not just paying daft prices early in the window is what got us Isak in the end. A bit daft to be worrying about the window when he have one of the best hit rates in Europe for signings. Comparing it to windows where we literally weren't allowed to sign anyone is equally daft

Hope they never transition through Dubai airport… Toon tops in the Adidas shops there

Howe has previously said every window that we are skint because of PSR tbf, where as this window he's said PSR isn't the issue it was for us.

I have mates who support Arsenal. They are the biggest whingers I know by far. When Isak scored in the LC it absolutely broke them. Emirates is a shit away day as well.

Agreed, makes for very entertaining reading on twitter mind

Which makes sense they don't sell the best players they have until they are over the hill. See RVP. Arsenal fans are such weirdos. Imagine us selling Isak and blasting about our record sale being 100m + Small club mentality.

Had 3 windows of folk on here telling us everything is fine and just wait, laughing and mocking those who in little hindsight were right to be concerned. Just have to wait and see, but starting to feel familiar.

They are just meaning in general I think, I think their record sale is 35 million from a few years back.

Morning from the sunny south Have a look at the attached I am pretty sure that UEFAs definition mentions that you can’t or shouldn’t make deductions for impairment of intangibles( players transfer costs ) are swept up in intangibles) but my point is that whilst we know that amortisation isn’t a deductible it doesn’t say in the rule book that impairments aren’t Thoughts ?

Which player are they referring? I know they suffer from delusional but the fact they got good money for an over hyped crock and someone who specialised in scoring in the league cup is beyond me.
