which is highly unlikely, more than likely to go for someone who doesn't require compensation

yep done wonders for his reputation. And this may be me being overly cynical I can't help but feel he probably planned to go right now for a few weeks just to spite them.

doesn't speak well for Pulis's to go right on the eve of the season

there's also the factor ashley would ask for a big compensation, palace are highly unlikely to want to pay said compensation

why would he go there?

relegated. good bets to alright. Odds on Malkay McKay going there I'd say, the director of football he worked under at cardiff is at palace.

if you looked at it in terms of raw talent then Taylor does probably have more but Williamsons less prone to stop thinking as Taylor seems to on occasion

been talk of him and the chairman not getting on since almost day one. Have to think he wants to spend a lot more money than palace want to

I like him, done fairly well too so far, rather ridiculously sacked by watford and incredible at burnley.

It's been suggested that the tranfer policy is incomings must be paid for by outgoings. Any other income will be used for servicing debt and a rainy day fund if we're relegation threatened come January. Happy Face, as someone who pulls an enormous amount of detail from the financial side of how the club is run, can you not factor in some of the cash lost during a transfer, when looking for a net figure over a period of time? I mean, the agent must be paid for, the player takes a cut, a ten million pound transfer can't net a club ten million pounds, can it? I think of the movement of money in these deals as being like the movement of water in a game on 'It's A Knockout', spilling out everywhere. This isn't to say NUFC have spent more than the net amount, but all clubs, because money leaks out every time a player is bought or sold, that's why agents like to tout players around, and why certain agents move certain players as often as possible (or try to at least). Can you put a figure on it? Sure it will vary, but say it was a ten million pound sale - can anyone hazard a guess as to how much the selling club will bank? I know clubs have lots of costs, and some people will say that these payments should be lumped in with wages etc, but for me they are solely brought around by the transfer happening and so should come off the net figure when discussing transfer business over a set period. Ten million pound sale, what do you say? 8 mil in the bank? 7? 9.5? i just whack in the amounts reported when a sale happens. There are no reports of agents fees or owt so not something I could reasonably include and source. clubs usually have to give the total amount spent on agents in a year so thats something

Soutampton shoot into bottom 3 based on this summers outgoings alone!

Man Utd 4-0 Swansea Leicester 1-2 Everton QPR 1-1 Hull Stoke 2-1 Aston Villa West Brom 1-1 Sunderland West Ham 1-3 Spurs Arsenal 2-0 Crystal Palace Liverpool 4-0 Southampton Newcastle 2-0 Man City Burnley 0-2 Chelsea

the fuck? Hull are making a reasonably big profit for 4 goals in 8 months?!

well thats unnecessary. I get the point that they're fairly well paid by any normal standards and can afford to buy the tickets (unless ashley is even cheaper than we thought possible) but its not something thats going to make that much difference so why do it?

Like virtually every single team in the world, then. thats a new level of stupid even by his standards, having 2 goalkeepers who are at least competent is hard enough let alone more than that.

Get to see your man Pards victorious in ridding the club of its best player then its just gone beyond tedious. Face facts he's not going to play again for the club and I don't think this will change regardless of who's manager. And if he is really serious about getting back in the team actively pissing off the club hierarchy with this and the previous going behind the clubs back to the press is not the way to go about it.

random

really wish someone would just fucking buy him to end all this shit. He's never playing for the club again

doesn't sound terribly likely to me but he was one of the first with the Lascelles info so maybe something in it. Whether its a good deal or not is another matter, he did well in the championship but did fuck all at man utd or on loan at Cardiff last season, the cardiff one in particular would concern me.

Not that I really care either way, but Legia did fuck up. its beyond stupid though, a player who can't play because he's banned has to be registered to serve the ban? Bureaucratic bullshit and to award a 3-0 walkover for a guy appearing for 4 minutes in a game while banned and had 0 influence on the result of the game? Major overreaction imho.

surely they can take it to the court of arbitration of sport at the very least

What a load of bullshit
