I hear the Willy Wonka prequel is looking for up and coming Oompa Loompas. Fraser could always get his Equity card and try out.

Cool - I imagine there is some classic accounting smoke and mirrors shit going on. I think with the talent stockpile they have, they’ll go for a striker and keeper along with Olise and Lavia and then take whatever comes their way from the toothless PL by way of embargo.

I think West Ham will take Tam and another player from them, meaning it’ll take RB Leipzig levels of transfer negotiation and a huge fee to get Hincapie. File under next summer.

Their current losses are £121m, £156m and whatever they potentially book this year. Given losses have to be less than £105m on a rolling 3 year basis, I think they’re gambling on knowing they’ll be under embargo by the PL for January and possibly summer 2024. https://sqaf.club/premier-league-ffp-table/#:~:text=Premier League FFP Rules&text=Clubs are also required to,covered by the club's owners.

Benidorm trip marra.

Ooh. That might give us the flex on a RCB. 5 year deal is less than £2m amortisation a season plus whatever wages he’d be on. Basically could be offset getting Ryan Fraser’s wages off the book.

The Athletic article on why Chelsea believe they are within the limits of FFP is an interesting read. The Premier League’s feet dragging over implementing 5 year caps on contract amortisation might save them for a couple of seasons if they miss out on Europe but the big facet will be the lower wages for young players, more heavily linked to performance incentives, and flogging their young players. Makes the theory of a Hall deal more believable in this context.

Fat fee for Villa to invest in someone with actual talent.

Scorching in Athens today. Hope for some light heat exhaustion, cramps and potentially the odd calf or hamstring injury before the weekend.

If Man Utd were stupid enough to give a contract with all those incentives, they bear the risk. What will Maguire’s value be in a year after 12 months on the bench? The trade off between lost transfer value and that payoff may be negligible.

Might work in our favour for Lewis Hall, or might not if Chelsea cut them a sweetheart loan for him.

Bit like us with Wilson->Isak last season

Any reason why some tweets are embedding and others aren’t?

Definitely no need to sell Andersen now.

Jurgen’s Asthma boys coming up in 11 days. I’m sure they’ll be dosed up to the gills.

Bails the Scabs out the shit a bit as they’ve broken themselves in that Year 1 transfer frenzy. Or they’ll just give us £40m for Targett and Lascelles.

Wasn’t he married to Kat Gallon off Skunkers? Probably some deep seated post divorce acrimony towards NUFC driving forward his agenda.

His dad is.

Cunha has serious J7 vibes.

And the nous to hire a Ronaldo and Messi matching dwarf set for your birthday party.

@Froggy or Eric The Slag?

They’ll be fine on first impressions. Luton and Sheffield Utd are doomed. Leaves one of Forest, Burnley or Everton for me in that last relegation spot.

More acne than a school disco in this Man Utd team. Antony, Hoijland and Casemiro rocking the pizza face.

Did he? Or is that just the Scousers saying he wanted to go? Think he was quite happy to sign for Madrid.

Part of the reason the fee was so high - lumpy sell on clause due.
