£80m for Mount :lol:

 

And £350,000 p/w wages :lol: :lol:

 

Anyone paying that needs sectioning (or to give me some of their money) 

Ridiculous! He's got West Ham written all over him.

What's this?

 

Their financial year ends on 30th June for 2022/23 and the domestic transfer window is expected to open early/mid June.

 

My understanding of it is that they effectively need to shift as many expendable players as possible to fellow PL clubs before 30th June, to recover this set of accounts for FFP.

 

Anyone they sell that is an academy product or beyond the span of their initial contract will go down as pure profit in an accounting sense, as there's no amortisation element. Anyone with a low "book value" as far as amortisation is concerned is also on the block, as they just need to command a transfer fee larger than the book value to record an individual profit on that player.

 

Obviously every other club in the PL and in world football knows about this deadline, so it seems a case of not breaking rank and trying to pick off bargains the closer and closer they get to the 30th. I can't see it happening, unfortunately. Clubs will still be desperate to get certain players that they consider game-changing for them, and might hang on a bit to save a few quid, but they'll be mindful of hanging on too long and allowing more competitors into the race.

 

There's also the will of the players to take into account, of course. Should be fun to watch and we'll probably be a part of it ourselves.

The question has to be who would pay that for Mount. There can't be many suitors. Man U have their Bruno and don't need him.

 

Us to an extent, Brighton, Villa and Brentford are all showing its not about big wages. Its making the league more interesting.

Every time Craig writes an article I’m expecting him to throw cold water on any excitement. 
 

all due respect to Hope, who I do really like a ton. 


I heard that when Bruce was there he got a lot of info from Longstaff but now things are better he is less willing to share info. Maybe that’s why he’s gone negative ?

I'm not a huge fan of him tbh. Think he gets a huge bye from our fans because of the Bruce saga and the vibe I get from him is as soon as we go on a bad run he'll be the first one going after Howe.

Mount is good but it's easy to get rinsed for price and wages for these type of overhyped english players. We do need homegrown talent for sure but I am more than happy to buy smart, it's not any of them will be as good as Bruno already is and if we start giving people huge wages over the top of him? I am not sure you hire Dan Ashworth to do the kind of back page of the sun transfer shopping Man U do.

I don't think Liverpool are keen on chucking ridiculous money at players next season after the season they've had following giving Salah a bumper contract.

I love shit like this when it's not us involved. I hope they struggle like mad tbh.

Time to gouge their eyes out for the damage they’ve done to football in this country. Make them pay the highest price for gaming the system to fuck for two decades plus, with their 100+ players out on loan. Awful club

Me neither. It's all about Craig Hope. He could have sat on the Fraser in the reserves story in Cup Final week but couldn't wait to get it out there.

I’ve heard Liverpool is a done deal apparently.

 

But only from a Liverpool fan I know so it’s prob bollocks

Mount comes across as a bit of a twat. I met a girl at a party last Xmas claiming to be his girlfriend... she was a complete twat too :lol:

He comes across as a right cocky little shit, without having really done anything to justify it. Saying that, would be quite happy if he ended up here :lol:

I have a soft spot for him because he used to be one of us (on here).

Yeah this. What did the give Salah again?

 

Not sure about the official figure, but heard something like 350k/week being bandied about. It's not made him or their team any better for it.

I know quite a few people who know Mount and apparently he's absolutely sound. Don't see this "cocky little shit" thing at all.

 

EDIT: I've overplayed that. I know two people who know Mount :lol:

He was at my kids' football club and spent about an hour signing autographs and posing for pictures - he seemed like a decent guy tbh.
