Not a transfer as such, but what do people expect to come of Fabio Carvalho? Stay with Liverpool

this season and get some proper game time for them?

Sent out on loan. Potentially a Minteh-esque one to a upper echelon club in a Euro league.

Seemed to do well at Hull But poorly in Germany.  
 

Arne Slot is the man for him. He seems to trust youth.

Seems obvious that PSR is bad for the PL product, starving itself of money and glamour. Sadly the PL isn’t a company with a single strategy and operates with this weird members club approach, producing some odd decisions. 

 

Worse than that is the optics of clubs being forced to sell their young talent and homegrown players to stay on the right side of PSR. The whole thing has turned into an embarrassing shitshow.

They have sellable assets we don’t 

True.  But they are implementing buy back clauses for their young talent.  We should’ve done something like that for Minteh. 

They got Maatsen in their FFP fuckery.  We’ve got a no hoper.

How do we know Brighton would have been happy with us inserting a buy back clause?

 

What benefit would it be for them

That’s my point. Villa are strategically selling youth to clubs that will accept a buy back.  That’s executing a plan that keeps their best youngsters as Villa players long term.  
 

Our plan was just to shift the lad. We were so desperate that we didn’t even receive the highest bid. we apparently don’t have a sell on either. 

Minteh had a lot of suitors too. 
 

With a bit more time and strategy why couldn’t we have done what Villa have done with Philogene and Archer?

 

we signed a clunker from Forest too.

It was Brighton’s record transfer fee they likely aren’t breaking their transfer record and inserting a buy back clause. We are the ones that needed the money. Remember there was a day left before a points deduction we were in no position to be insisting they put in a buy back clause on their record transfer and if you were Brighton there’s no chance you would

We got a hell of a lot more money for Anderson and Minteh than Villa did for those two though?

Exactly. Insert a buy back and you are gonna have to accept a lower fee.

Exactly my point. We were just desperate for the cash.  Didn’t get the best bid. No buy back.  No sell on.  Desperate times.  Dealt with it badly.  
 

Villa - dealing with PSR a little smarter.  Spent some time planning how they could navigate PSR by selling youth but still keeping them long term.  In Philogene’s case they got him a great loan. 
 

Villa got a bad fee for Luiz. But at least they were proactive in resolving their PSR issues in decent time.  Shows some preparation. 
 

We went from seemingly 0-100 in the last 2-3 weeks. We didn’t prepare well for it at all.

Which goes back to my original point We were desperate for the cash because we’ve no saleable assets no one wanted Almiron, longstaff or Wilson by that date

Even if we agreed a buyback for Minteh what would it be? Probably £70m or so for it to be with it for Brighton, if he reaches that level bigger sides than us will be in for him anyway.
