captainhaircut Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Interesting that we don't seem to be interested in loan or Zouma or Loftus Cheek. I think I'm right in thinking we can only have one player on loan per club so I wonder if we've got our eye on Michy if they sign a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Would've really liked Loftus-Cheek. I'm not for wage caps or anything. But there should be a limit on the number of players on a clubs books. First team squad 25. Additional 6-8 loanees over 20. Loftus Cheek turns 22 in January. He's made 22 or so first team career appearances. Anyone of his repute would have 100+ games on the continent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 City pays 4m for Bernardo from Boro and then loans him out to Girona (which they own). Rumour is that they'll be buying half a dozen footballers to help keep their new Spanish feeder team in the top division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Las Palmas pay Vitolo's release clause and joins them until January. Love the way Atlético are using them as their front men This is even funnier. Sevilla are claiming that Vitolo's reps had signed a contract extension yesterday.

Deuce Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Palace using "#CheekyLoan" in announcing they've signed Ruben Loftus-Cheek. So much Football has gone full cringe this summer like I genuinely don't get it. They've been one-upping each other on the douchebaggery all summer.

Beren Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Stoke reject a £20m bid from West Ham for Arnautovic. He's worth way more tbf. If you start thinking of value in terms of "replacement cost", I find this crazy environment a bit more understandable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Swansea would need to spend a helluva lot to replace him even if it is mainly set-pieces. There's no guarantee they'd replace that and he kept them up last year. Losing him and the risk of going down is why he's worth £50m to Swansea.

There's no guarantee they'd replace that and he kept them up last year. Losing him and the risk of going down is why he's worth £50m to Swansea. Seems straightforward enough to me. He's their best player, and they narrowly stayed in the league last year with him. Which got them hundreds of millions. Selling him for 40 and having to rebuild is risk. Sure, risk may result in good things, but it also may result in bad things, and those bad things would result in a financial loss significantly larger than 40m.

Foluwashola Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Significantly higher risk that they'll keep him, still go down and lose him for pittance. Their reasoning makes sense, and I'd be all for it if I were a Swansea fan, but £50m being the go-to price for any above average player ffs. The PL is horrid. Horrid.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Would've really liked Loftus-Cheek. I'm not for wage caps or anything. But there should be a limit on the number of players on a clubs books. First team squad 25. Additional 6-8 loanees over 20. Loftus Cheek turns 22 in January. He's made 22 or so first team career appearances. Anyone of his repute would have 100+ games on the continent. I'd put a cut off of minutes per season that a player (over 21) has to play in or they become available for 1 years worth of wages, or even a free. 2 seasons on loan in a row - free Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
