Undoubtedly these players were all traded because of PSR but other than the Vlad fee Is Anthony else egregious fee wise? the article struck me as it’s the international week and we have nothing to write about tbh.

Oh yeah absolutely; financially we haven’t lost out in fact we’ve gained. In terms of the other aspects that depends we need to wait and see what they do with the money before making further judgements.

They did indeed, but they are both young and can develop. if they don’t then they’ve manage to do outdo us

Couldn’t agree more, it’s a joke to be frank. I could kinda almost not really understand it Clubs like ourselves had spend 3 times those Cartel clubs but it’s simply not the case. But again, I must tip my hat to those clubs because they’ve executed what is a fantastic stitch up for themselves which won’t be undone because finding an alternative which is actually fair will not pass.

Feels Vlad man

I’m all fumed out thank you for your concern the reason I call it incompetence is because we had a few warning signs to walk away, Parish flapping his gums, Palace starting him even in the league cup Palace totally willing to negotiate on price etc. Ultimately we never agreed a deal with Palace so we were essentially betting the house on something which had sand for foundations. This is why I don’t see it as misfortune, it was somewhat predictable.

For 70m People only stopped talking about the nonsensical price out of desperation to get the deal done. But you also can’t call horrific planning which left us leaving the window empty handed as “unlucky” when it was incompetence.

As I’ve said before the season should be condensed and all of these breaks removed. Either play them all at the start or end of a season and shift the calendar. These games would generate far more interest if they were played in one period of time annually.

Yorkie man ffs. We were stupid for letting it drag in to so near the window closed and should have moved on.

It’s important to remember the shareholders of the leagues are the clubs, so when you see something like this it’s the club that will it.

It’s difficult to change that rule as it’s an accounting rule and although a lot of hang wringing occurs about it, I very doubt it’s something they’d want to close. Ultimately ambitious clubs need the flexibility and despite popular opinion the clubs do not want to loosen the rules as the two proposal voted down at the last meeting showed. The clubs including our own make so many funny statements about psr but the actions taken by them all are contradictory.

They’ve amortised the fee by 40% at least at that stage and that’s based upon them signing someone and sending them straight to the shadow realm. They don’t need to keep value; they just need to make sure they don’t take a loss of 20% annual to break even on the fees. and two important things to remember. 1, they have the best academy in the country, as long as they can sell players for pure profit they are good. 2, they already have strong revenues this helps a lot. Bonus point, we are unlikely to see them spend a billion in 2 years again

Yeah because he wants to play with super high wingers a 10 and a 9. Mainoo has poor positional awareness and Casemiro is finished, Liverpool ate them for breakfast.

I doubt he regrets it after 3 games mind, and his competition has a nickname called disaster and the starting is basically Callum Wilson in centre back form.

Not really, he would be a squad player for us in the medium term as well.

Let’s hope they brought the cheque book and are ready to make the serious 1b + investments needed for us to actual achieve the goals they’ve set.

So here’s sure it gets interesting, will they? Will they sell him for what they paid? Of course they won’t he’s shit. Will they find some mug to pay off the remaining amortisation in a couple of years? Maybe, just maybe.

Absolutely, it’s a high risk approach of course but it could pay off handsomely for them. The Bosman rule essential doesn’t apply to them.

Spurs didn’t create good chances that is absolutely true but they did control large portions of the game. We struggled to play out from the back and looked shaky when we did have the ball. I do think we showed more commitment and determination than Spurs mind.

He’s been saying this for awhile to be honest and fair play to him for it

Slot spoke extremely well to Sky after the game. He was very clear about his plan for the game the scouse looked good today.

His fitness is a notch higher than it’s been for us before I feel. Was very happy to see him still pressing into a stoppage time.

Of course they did and rightfully so as well. Supposed big clubs should be happy rolling over for anyone particularly not at home.

You were fully behind ETH when I asked you a couple of months ago.
