I will miss his flair. Takes on four players alone, beats three then loses the ball to the fourth. He is fun to watch.

Yea, that is going to be a sight to see. Can't wait to see what Eddie cooks up.

He is right though. "Whatever a player goes for is it's actual market value."

I got to see Tony the Tiger score at least.

Very good save.

Sounds like the lads played pretty well overall for a friendly.

So it's 1-1 now? Couldn't watch the match.

For what it's worth I'd do that deal for sure. Upgrade.

Man they do alot of isometrics. Makes sense, in American football it's pumping iron. Here, you don't want to bulk up, just get strong.

That's great. Looking forward to see how they do this year.

We agree on that. The player has to agree and there is wages and other factors. I guess we'll see.

Leeds has cash with the parachute payment but he ain't gonna play in the Champo.

I mean look, there is 100% a budget. Everton cried covid losses as I recall. City is accused of cheating the fuck out of it. Chelsea sells players for good money, has a bunch of commercial deals and snuck in 7 year amortization. This is what I saw on Transfer Market. Newcastle 2023 72M out so far 17M in. Newcastle 2022 185M out 14M in. Newcastle 2021 130.5M out ZERO in.

Man, would love to watch the Shamrock Rovers, have a shirt and scarf here. I'll have to see if there is anyway short of a vpn to watch from North America.

I'd picture a call saying "we offer you 100 billion quid". Be quite dramatic. After some thought you are probably closer.

Nobody is yet.

2026? That's crazy. Is it even possible to keep loaning him out for that long? How much salary is he eating?

Nice!

Did he mention which weekend?

I think PIF uses 60m as walking around money. Avoiding it is better.

It's not ideal unless you have a cash flow problem. Do release clause payments not get rolled into the total transfer fee for FFP?

I'd explain it to you but it's too complicated.

It was imminent last week.

I sure am glad these transfers don't drag on and on......
