Werner to Spurs seems like an obviously good transfer to me. I also think he would have suited Howe‘s style of play. 

Is that not similar to Havertz to Arsenal?  Jury is out for me - he just didn't seem like he could adjust to the pace of the game.

The issue is he’s not a striker and he was played as one for ages in this league. He can be one in the Bundesliga but he’s not one in the PL. He’s a left winger / wide left forward. He’s best at running with the ball

These are the kind of signings I thought we would be making

Pretty clear at this point Ashworth wasn’t solely responsible for their transfer approach and agree I thought we’d be making more signings like this.

 

In our defence Brighton probably have quite a bit FFP wriggle room with the sales they’ve made to take chances on players like this.

 

I think our approach looks very rigid at the moment though and we seem very risk averse. I think Howe has strict criteria for signings and coupled with FFP that’s why where not seeing deals like this.

No, that’s the limit you can spread transfer fees over. You can offer them as long as you want.

From an FFP perspective it is the length of the contract which dictates how much ££ is included in each year.  Hence why Chelsea were given out 8 year contracts

Not anymore. Well, 5 years is the maximum.

Which is what I thought - so Brighton can't be offering Valentín Barco a 6 year contact

Is it not the transfer fee can only be spread over 5 years ? You can still offer them a longer deal I think.

Yeah that can, but for ffp it’s spread over 5 years.

 

6 years wages, and transfer cost is 5 years for ffp

The FFP impact of transfers can only be spread over a 5 year max period now, even if the contract is longer. So a 6 year contract will only spread the transfer fee over 5 years for FFP accounting purposes now, but you can still have a longer contract.

Is it just from an FFP it can only be spread over 5 years?  I really don't know the rules anymore ha

Don't think anyone knows the rules properly apart from very expensive accountants. Hell, they probably don't know all the rules either, but they just know more than the rest of us so we can't call them on it.
