Perrone deal sounded like it was almost done for a while some time back. Seems to have gone very quiet. 

 

Just waiting for January obvs.

If you're in the top 6 and have money to spend then you can buy many talented players, and Tielemans is obviously talented, but just because you can it doesn't mean you should. I said in the summer that none of the ESL 6 are buying Tielemans and I'm sticking to it (though nothing Chelsea does would surprise me).

The Tielemans hate on here is mad, he may not suit our way of playing, but he’s still a fantastic player.

Tielemans would be a decent signing for you. I say this because you need deep enough pockets to sign and pay someone to play in his place, during the long periods of poor form he delivers. On his day, he is up there with th best, the rest of the time, a passenger. We cant cope with this, but our elite coach picks him whether hes in form or out.

FFP is a myth

Seems disproportionately levered towards the top 6, who built their squads/infrastructure/club/sponsorships without having the constraints of FFP, yes. A myth though? No. Which is why we can’t splash the same money as Chelsea/Man City/Man Utd etc.

Not according to several clubs this season, they’ve made more changes then they have over the last decade I believe.  It was naturally changed straight after our take over so all eyes will be on us.

It just seems to be a myth to Chelsea and Barca.

It's not a myth, but it's a mechanism that serves the cartel. The big six's revenue dwarfs everyone elses, so they can pretty much spend what they want and comply with FFP.

 

They've doubled down now with the related party transaction stuff.

Chelsea income 20/21 was nearly €500m. Ours was about 150m. You can spend according to what you bring in, which is why increased sponsorship and commercialisation is so crucial (as well as stadium expansion, to a degree).

And turning reserve etc into a larger revenue stream with larger loan fees. Chelsea make tons doing this I reckon.

Not just loan fees, but a huge source of income is selling the young players that they’ve stockpiled and never played. We will start to do that too, I’m sure, as a source of income, as the club develops.

As they say money breeds money - not that I’d ever know.

The NUFC rule.

Perrone to City. 

[McCormick]

Ffs.

[Mazzy]

That's such a shame! He'd have been a really good signing. 

 

Oh well, onto the next one 

[Guest reefatoon]

He’s never going to get minutes there

[Scoot]

Can't sign them all can we. On to our other targets.

Of course its beneficial to the 'Big 6 (comical term imo)' they want to pull the bridge up behind them and hide behind all their 'Big 6' Revenue, most of which is creative accounting.

 

Only way FFP gets involved is if its a threat to the status quo.

Shame, first Santos and now this geezer. The South American market is mad competitive.

[SUPERTOON]

I don’t think there are any untapped markets any more tbh.

Probably not but they will still then somehow sell him for 25m in 2 years time after his 13 appearances.

Shipped around various City Group clubs  then sent to Brighton, Southampton etc with a very favourable buy back clause

You do know that the incredible alliance of NUFC and it's new owners will (reasonably soon) break the Septic Six Cartel FOR EVER.

 

Our owners are very clever people, they will do what needs to be done and they ("we") will achieve what needs to be achieved.
