Are Lyon flush with cash now?

 

I thought they were having to sell players which is why they were struggling so badly in the league

 

Yet they can afford to spend on Benhrama?

Worried about going down / dubious (shit) owner you'd imagine. All a bit off.

Just me or does Forest swapping Mangala for Reyna seem a bold strategy? Mangala seems to play every time I see them and is more a DM than AM. I'll put money on Reyna not being able to match Mangala's 50 appearances in then next 3 seasons (if he's still there after this one).


If they don’t play the same position, how is it a swap?

 

Reyna is only on loan. And they likely need to sell due to FFP.

Giving Nemanja Matic a nearly 3 year contract won't be cheap either.

 

You could have given me 100 guesses on what he was doing now and I wouldn't have guessed OL. 3 years? 'kin hell, that turning circle and speed in 2026 :lol:

Probably not all that strange but I don’t think I’m envious of any clubs business this month. 
 

dead transfer window

 

Yeah, if we didn't have all these injuries then it would be an enjoyable window seeing everyone stand still.

It's a swap in terms of one-in-one-out of the squad - Seems as though they had to get rid of Mangala to bring Reyna in. Otherwise the timing of the two announcements were weirdly close to each other.

So the window so far has a highest fees as £26.7m, then £12.5m, then 3 deals around £8m, then £2.6m, then £2m.

 

Ouch - didnt realise it was this bad.

How much was Harrison, I heard 17M but I think that's bollocks.

£3.5m

 

Man City manage to be an example of both sides of the coin with FFP - the cheating and manipulating it side, but ALSO the 'flog enough kids for relatively small money, it all adds' thing. 

 

The lad we just paid Boro 8m for signed from City for a million but also a sell-on percentage.

 

A few little deals like this all contribute.

The fact they've brought in these rules AFTER City have already financially doped for years and heavily invested in their academy means it just solidifies everything. They can outspend everyone, but no club is ever going to generate as much as them.

Klopp on his way. PL fast becoming a one team league.

The league isn't anywhere near as interesting and the transfer windows are boring as fuck. Surely the stakeholders who make money from broadcasting and reporting, even the league itself, see how much this FFP bollocks is damaging the product? I bet even Peter Odemwingie hasn't been driving around looking for a new club today!

Their initial intention with FFP I’m sure was noble. But it will never work as intended. Never. It will backfire immensely and utimately hurt the interest in EPL and football. 
It only serves to protect the biggest clubs, and if that’s the way they want it, they should support the creation of a Super League rather than fight it.
