Let’s be honest he wouldn’t get in any of the other top 6 sides. If we weren’t hampered by ffp we wouldn’t be signing him and likely aiming higher but as it is we need to spread the money around 3 or 4 players so £35m is a good deal. He’s a decent signing nothing more than that. Hope he does well it’s just not that exciting much like Gordon in January
Can someone give me a very quick idiots guide on how ffp works? I’m daft and (obviously wrongly assumed) if we got £40m for maxi we’d have that £40m to spend. Now I’m seeing selling maxi will mean we can bring in about 4 players.
Aye im always wary of when it’s a testimonial. Shearer getting a penalty, Beardsley getting a penalty, missing it then getting to retake it. Still, should be a decent run out and good game.
You mentioned ‘fair market value’ which isn’t a thing for transfers and you mentioned all the clubs being on the phone to masters as if masters could do anything about it
