We are limited in our yearly spending by La Liga due to our beleaguered finances, and that's the only way to be able to sign people while not running afoul of our spending cap. If it’s not really a pay cut, why aren’t you just paying De Jong what you owe him? Is it that that money will count against the pay cap over the next four years however you try to work it so you’re just hoping he writes it off? If that’s the case, then how is that not a pay cut? https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/62131753.amp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems completely insane that this wasn’t resolved earlier. Like, if you owe him 20M over the four years of his contract in deferred wages then just cut the transfer price by 20M. Any idea roughly how much he deferred? You know, to help you out after all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More clubs should have cottoned on to this by now. They just need a couple of them to hit and they will not only benefit in the short term, but they will rake in tens of millions.

De Jong agreed to defer essentially €28M to his next contract to help Barca out during the pandemic. Barca agreed a sale of c. £55M rising to £72M with Man U, as a way of raising cash right now plus reducing the wage bill. De Jong says “hang on, you still owe me €28M, please pay me that”. Barca hadn’t told Man U??? Here’s my question. Are you the baddies? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a very clever strategy that the German clubs have been increasingly taking advantage of in recent times. Think Southampton are really well positioned to take full advantage of it. They're an attractive enough mid table Prem club to move to after leaving Man City, in order to get more playing time, especially as they have a pretty decent manager and they try to play a modern style of football. It's a club I could easily see a few of them doing really well and having their value sky rocket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
