I know it never happens, but what if for a FFP workaround, we just swap players instead of buying or selling? Wouldn’t that technically just involve wages for FFP then? Expand Think its exactly the opposite as we would want the extra revenues. If we had sold Isak for 150m and bought two players for 50m each on 5 year deals we would be 130m + before having to deduct Isaks remaining costs It was what happened when Barcelona sold Arthur to Juventus and bought Pjanic from Juventus for basically the same fees Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Ramsdale much better than Pope? When we upgrade Pope down the line it'll be for someone of much better quality than Ramsdale, so that's a no for me. And Smith Rowe is always bloody injured, a definite no if ever there was one. Expand Makes no difference for FFP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted May 8, 2024 Share Posted May 8, 2024 Think the low clause and high wages had a lot to do with his contract about to run out so instead of not getting much money at all or even lose him on a free they were more or less forced to agree to the demands. Think it took quieter long until it was all agreed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
