It delays amortisation going through the P&L for a year, on the assumption that when the player is signed revenue will be higher and we’ll have more scope to spend under FFP. Instalments are irrelevant to FFP though. Whether you agree to pay a transfer fee upfront or staggered over 50 years - makes no difference, FFP is about accounting measures not cash transfers.

Looks shite but I’m not a bairn so will have no impact on me

Does it really beg that question? He’s 19.

Already pinged the fuck out of hamstring at 19. We'll definitely need a third striker to cover for him and Wilson.

There is nothing in that article that suggests Ashworth is currently playing any role whatsoever at Newcastle. Which is pretty obvious - he’s not going to violate his contract of employment with Brighton by operating in the interests of a direct competitor.

Given he’s shite with the ball at his feet, shite in the air (although we pumped thousands of long balls at him), and is never in the right place at the right time in the box - what would playing to his strengths have looked like?

What a downer.

From back when Squires hadn’t said mean things about the team I support.

He's better than Wood at literally every conceivable aspect of association football.

I'd genuinely rather ASM didn't bother pretending to track back. Saves his legs at least.

Lifetime bans for any one doing the "you're shit ahhh".

Pretty sure Burn was being snide and trying to elbow the fuck out of an opposition player.

Cool it on the xenophobia bud @Kid Icarus, or you'll be taking an extended break from this place.

The Qataris and Emiratis have been far more circumspect with their sportswashing enterprises. This is gaudy as fuck and it’s embarrassing watching people pretend turning the badge in to the green and white of the Saudi flag isn’t absolutely wank.

Completely moronic own goal from the owners if it actually materialises.

Yeah that’s not how the space-time continuum works buddy.

Spends too much time on social media this guy. Fine now but when we go through a bad patch it will turn sour.

ASM is an appalling striker of the ball. Just miserable.

He wouldn't be allowed to leave in the summer because of the three club rule, would he? The interest from Madrid seems very real unfortunately, but we'll have him until at least the World Cup.

I'm still psychologically broken because I'm sitting here anxious and convinced they'll pull one back and make things nervy.

Some rancid football from both sides.

Selling ASM to fund the purchase of a good striker, then selling Bruno to fund the purchase of a good wide forward to replace ASM wouldn't be bad business this summer IMVHO.

Easiest night he’ll ever have up against that lanky Portuguese femboy.

Another 89th minute job here.
