Miguel Almirón: Bid of £10m to be Accepted from Atlanta United (Hope)

[Tiresias]

Had one wonderful sparkling run where he scored beautiful goals for fun, away from that incredible work ethic on the pitch, fantastic attitude, hope he tears it up back in the MLS.

You didn't opt for any combo of Meowguel Almeowron? 

My lass was determined to call her Ellie.

She’s our 2nd cat and I didn’t want a house full of cats, so the compromise was we got one, but it had to be black and white, named after Newcastle related, and a female.

Nope. Every time you extend your contract, you just amortise it over a longer period - lower numbers but over the time of the extension.

So if you sign someone for £20m on 5 year deal, amortise at £4m per year, for the first four years, before they sign a new 4 year contract, you’d have amortised £18m of the original £20m, if you sold with two years remaining?

Goodbye, sweet prince.

Exactly - remaining amortisation spread over remaining years.
 

So for Lascelles as an example, we signed him for £5m across 5 years - £1m per year amortisation. At the end of year 3 he renewed for two more years on top of his remaining 2 years - so £5m minus £3m = £2m across 4 years = £500k pa amortisation.
 

Ahead of the last year of his deal, we’d amortised for 3 years (£1.5m) and extended him for a year on top of the one year remaining. So £500k left amortised over 2 more years = £250k each year.
 

Now we’ve reached the last year of his deal and extended year by year, we might trigger one year this summer. However by this point his fee will be fully amortised.

Fair. I imagine his book value must be pretty low by now now though?

Yeah, so Miggy was, say £21,000,000 when he signed in Jan 2019 on a 5 1/2 year deal

 

So every year about 3.8 milllion off the books (21,000,000 / 5.5 =3.81818181)

 

After 4 years signed a new 3 1/2 year deal. so about £15,000,000 off the books at that point  (3.8 x4). £6 million left.

 

Remaining 6 million comes off over the length of his new contract, about 1.7 million a year.

 

Two years later he's sold, about £3,500,000 has come off that final £6,000,000 so my guess is about £2.5 million remaining on his value that will count againt net profit in the books.

 

Technically I think all this stuff is done on a daily rate (there are some accountants on here who will know better) so the above won't be quite right, but should be accurate enough for internet forum purposes.

Yes, I believe that's correct

 

After 4 years of the original 5 year contract the book value of the player would be £4 million.

 

If a new 4 year contract is signed, then it would be that remaining £4 million book value that is then amortised over the next 4 years, so at £1 million a year.

 

After 2 years of the new contract have elapsed the player's book value would be £2 million.

If we're starting from a position of just about being ok for this season PSR wise then this sale would allow us to bring forward a £30-£40m singing from the summer.

 

One more sale and we're looking at a Mbuemo level signing headroom

Sell Longstaff to Everton for £15-20m. We'd have some PSR headspace

[Scoot]

Great deal to be honest. Was kinda hoping we could fetch someone in though.

I hear it's exactly that easy as well...

I'm all giddy, like Rachel Reeves cutting public spending type of giddy, thanks and farewell Miggy.

[bobbydazzla]

Adios amigo

 

You tried hard, scored a few worldies, only had one foot, were often frustrating, but I never doubted your attitude

 

Hasta la vista, baby

will never forget that PSG goal.

had me in tears.

Was busy watching Expendables 4 when that was scored, but was also in tears... but for very different reasons though...

[midds]

Impossible to reject that offer, no axe to grind with him, he tried his best but ultimately way too limited. Just need to hope the cash is put to good use replacing him, sure it will be

What a rush. Fucking amazing.

[Lush Vlad]

Very good deal.  You'd like to hope that it gives us some sort of scope to bring someone in this month.  But if there isn't a deal to be done and it's another squad player type.  Then perhaps not worth the money and we're better off waiting.

I may be wrong here, but our wages to turnover ratio was pretty high. I'm assuming Miggy was on a decent salary a well.

Will be missed...

[Yorkie]

Adore the little fucker and personally feel he's been so much more than just that purple patch. He's provided some amazing moments across his time here and otherwise made huge contributions to some good, bad and great teams. If he's going back to Atlanta I hope that works well for him and he leaves as a cult hero as far as I'm concerned.
