@KaKa The quoted post (plus others following it in the thread) pretty much sums up the situation with PSR. We should have some room for manoeuvre but it's not just a case of heavy losses from 3 years ago dropping off unfortunately.

Always had a soft spot for Plymouth since our Hughton season. Never seen a club be so gracious while getting relegated by a team getting promoted. Also, good to build footballing relationships.

Murphy has a spectacular collection of them though. Was it the Arsenal home game in 21-22 where he smacked one off a post from 25 yards and was leaping up and down in frustration afterwards? He had an amazing post to goal ratio for a few months. I always thought it kind of encapsulated him as a player. Had the brains and technique to make the shot as difficult for the goalkeeper as possible but would push it too far making the effort (almost) pointless. But if he could get a grip on that then you'd have something special.

Definitely Man City. From interviews it sounds like he himself was struggling to accept his future wasn't as a midfielder around this time.

Second guessing has always been his problem. He's an intelligent lad, but historically hasn't been intelligent enough to stop thinking, if you see what I mean. But we aren't seeing any of his dithering now, he pretty much knows what to do before he's even received the ball nowadays, which lets the quality of his technique shine through.

Think he's very much been focused on to performing a set range of actions. An extensive range, though, so he's no one trick pony. Murphy deserves huge credit for this run he's on. It's his dedication that's getting him here. Makes you wonder what he could've done in his career if he'd been Howe'd a few years earlier.

It is. We get as many points here as we do at Old Trafford. Would be extremely disappointed with anything other than a win. But confident we'll get it.

Smash PSR. It's making football less desirable.

Attention those who say it can't be reversed. Do they have English refs in Norway or is it just a shit system?

Fingers crossed. If we want to talk about a youth player that we've mishandled over the past two years, this is the one.

You're mixing up amortisation and PSR calculations Amortisation relates to transfer fees, wages are just wages. Those two separate things get added together when doing the PSR calculation.

Plus, I don't think this one should be seen as a developmental loan, from our perspective. Think it's more about him getting a career after us.

Overall, I agree. Smash PSR. Think I might start finishing all my posts with this sentiment, Cato-style.

Sounds like he's got major attitude problems according to those QPR fans. I don't think talent has ever been the problem with him...

The funny thing is if he's doing brilliant job, that will potentially involve spending very little money on a small amount of untested unknowns. Which will piss everyone off.
