Other clubs' transfers

Just so I’m clear about our financial arrangement with Romano - how much are we paying him to unsettle our own players?

Brighton will come out of that little exchange very well. 

 

And are Spurs about to spend £60m+ on Savinho too? Insane stuff.

Personally think Spurs are on the fast track to fucking themselves in a new form. They’ve gone from scrimping and toiling over deals with Levy to properly opening the taps. Unfortunately, they’ve opened the taps so far that they’ve snapped them and we’re witnessing the great flood

If this goes thru it better get marked down with what ever financial rules we are using now. After all villa couldn’t buy Osula after we bought Ramsay as it was getting marked down as a player swap 

Different rules for us though init

Yeah there’s a little bit of me that’s a bit nervous about that. You just have to hope that RDZ knows what he’s doing, and then that there’s enough other adults in the room who know what they’re doing.

 

Like all transfer things though, there’s a lot of getting worked up over tweets. Our “great flood” currently is three players for £52M.

Leeds are apparently after Julian Brandt and Harry Wilson as free (not so free) transfers.

Even Hull City are making moves

 

 

He's decent on FM 26

They successed with DCL, wouldn't turn my nose up to these players.

The fact Brighton want him would set alarm bells off for me. They're not in the business of keeping players long term. They clearly see a potential profit in flipping him and if their offers is genuinely 45m then you can bet they'll be asking for double in 2 years time.

Oh yeah, we know. He’s in a very specific situation. A 19-year old who we have under contract for a while and who just had a very good season in the Bundesliga but is probably not quite ready for the Premier League. He wants games and we can’t really give them to him yet. Ideally we’d loan him out for one more year but he and/or his agent want to accelerate the process and this is Brighton’s best chance to make this happen.

 

We definitely don’t want to sell but at some point the offer might be tempting. There’s a non-zero chance this kid is worth £100M in five years.

Surely reporting stuff based on who pays you is terrible in itself

It could be worse. 

 

You could be Luke Edwards acting as Steve Bruce's fluffer for a decade for absolutely no financial or professional benefit.

If a player is really talented, I don't think they should wait years for him to make the team. Rayan became a regular at Bournemouth at 19, we didn't buy him, Szoboszlai was able to fit in quickly and plays almost every game, Archie Gray, Semenyo were able to fit in immediately, or Simons, Mbeumo, etc.
