If that is indeed the clause then yes.

Two reasons, selling the youth talent pool they’ve spent 2 decades building. And gaming of FFP and its restrictions including long contracts so the fee is accounted for over a longer period of time and other related party transactions.

Good luck to the FA

What do you mean?

Don’t expect a comprise, any change would require a vote and given this has gone as far as arbitration it appears the PL hand will have to be forced.

Spanish lad at the Athletic said Barca want to shift Raphinha this summer.

If true this is bad news for a lot of PL clubs I can imagine ADL putting the price up for Osihmen too

Ok so it’s five, doesn’t really change the risk on our side if his injury history doesn’t improve.

I wouldn’t dare have the temerity to go against Orny. 6 year deal seems a bit of risk on our side mine given the injury record. I guess the other side of the coin is if he gets over his injuries we have tied down for a long time.

If it does all come crashing down, those established elite clubs will have nobody to blame but themselves. They’ve had ample opportunity to create rules which promote competition and yet at every turn they’ve done everything In their power to do the opposite.

Our options? If man united decided they didn’t want Ashworth I imagine he would rot on gardening leave and go at the end of his contract.

[x] Doubt.

He’d half to take a pay cut of more than 50%. Seems unlikely.

If your willing to personally pay his 300k per week I’m all for it

They are desperate to shift him

Feels like Bayern are a bit lost mind, one of the few big clubs buying these players at peak age and price.

Absolutely we certainly will have to gamble to an extent, might as well roll the dice on someone who may actually improve so someone younger rather than Leicester back up striker.

The ship set sail ages ago, unfortunately in football we don’t tend to go back the good old days only spiral further into degenerate behaviour.

As I’ve mentioned many times, it’s absolutely baffling we don’t have this structure in place at this point, you can leverage a club outside of PSR rules balance sheet and ensure only the best talent makes it to the big leagues. I get this is unsavoury but it’s about competing.

Absolutely, reckon we always had an eye to selling him what we bought him tbh. Can’t be mad about getting 40m for someone who has never kicked a ball for us.

We need players who are fit, last season was more the exception for him rather than the rule.

Proper sick note is Madueke.

The athletic mentioned a July surprise ala Tonali so you might be right. They also have mentioned most of budget will be going in that position.

With Minteh I wouldn’t be surprised if the real story is we have a lot of people who want him on loan but we are in up hurry to do so as if someone offered us 40m we’d rather take it.

He was literally pictured on Gillespie stag do ffs.
