Whitley mag Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Good to see us potentially strengthening the u21 side in January for a crack at the youth cup. In all seriousness the transfer strategy is very exciting, this gets me going more than some 30 year old star on the decline. We have the potential to become one of the youngest and most exciting teams around under Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is with our good start to the season we don’t even have to panic into an older star, not that I’m knocking that especially with how important the Trippier signing was. It makes it easier and more justifiable going for these younger ‘wonder kids’ exciting times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes it easier and more justifiable going for these younger ‘wonder kids’ exciting times Always a place for a Trippier who is probably my favourite player at the moment. But undoubtedly we’re in a good place to recruit for the future, as Keegan used to always preach the best time to buy is when you’re doing well.

I'm getting very confused about all these Brazilian wonderkids. There's Andrey Santos (CM) and Angelo Gabriel (FW) who plays for Santos and they're both around €25m?

McCormick Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) A few of these lads could end up being flipped for a profit later on, so maybe that’s entered their thinking? I think the issue now is the policy of selling players for a profit; most, if not all, PL teams can’t act like stepping stones anymore. If a player does well in the Premier League, you have to hope a bigger PL team swoops in as 99% of teams in the world wouldn’t be able to match the asking price. If the player wants a move to a bigger European team that has been priced out, he’ll just run his contract down. It’s becoming quite the challenge.

If a player does well in the Premier League, you have to hope a bigger PL team swoops in as 99% of teams in the world wouldn’t be able to afford the player. If the player wants a move to a bigger European team that has been priced out, he’ll just run his contract down. It’s becoming quite the challenge. There's always teams throwing around big money. A £30m transfer like this, with low wages can always be flipped for £50-£60m if it goes well. You have 7-8 PL clubs that can do that. Plus 3 from Spain, a few from Italy, PSG etc. It's the transfers that the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool do that they can't sell on. The wages are too big and the inital fees £40m+.

McCormick Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Fair enough, but the player has to do exceptionally well to be considered by any of those teams you’ve mentioned. It’s become a riskier proposition now for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raphinha 17 in 65 (and a lot of assists). You don't have to be a world-beater to get that type of fee for a Brazilian international. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Btw Raphinha has started poorly at Barca. If he continues to dissappoint and Barca crash out of Europe, i'd be in for him next summer and give Barca 80% of their fee back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) Quick calculation, sign Brazilian player X for £20m fee + 5yr contract @£40k/week = £2m/year wages + £4m/year amortisation = £6m/year So hypothetically if you sell X for £30m after three seasons, he'll gain you £22m from a FFP perspective* because his book value will be £20m - (3 x £4m) = £8m We bought Bruno for £35m (I think?) and all he had was 50 appearances in France and a handful of Brazil caps. *I'm not sure whether wages would be part of the calculation, if so then it's a £16m gain because he'll have cost £6m in wages Edited October 25, 2022 by Keegans Export Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
