Dr Jinx Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 26 minutes ago, simonsays said: Didn't we buy Minteh to sell? All the biggest clubs are good at developing players to sell for PSR reasons The only one’s who will ever know that are Howe and Ashworth.. I think they were (Minteh and Kuol) signed with a view to coming back into the fold after gaining more experience and proving good enough. We just happened to end up in a situation where we had to sell, so that narrative suits to make it look under more control. I refuse to believe they risked a hefty punishment on several factors turning in their favour. 1) Minteh’s loan being that successful.. if he’d flopped or not been picked by a coach.. wave goodbye to 30m and 2) the fee being as high as it was.. I think there was probably more of an acceptance that we were going to lose a purple this summer, something we seem to have avoided now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 1 hour ago, Dr Jinx said: Don't worry about what Brighton are doing. Admire it fine, but they have different objectives. We can't be what they are and be a genuine contender for top 4. Buying to sell and real ambition don't go hand in hand so our remit will be different. The players we sign will be the best that we can go for at a given point in time, we buy young so if the the club does begin to outgrow their use, we can make back a good portion of that transfer fee if not more on occasion. I'm assuming Paul Mitchell's objective will be to get the best value on the pitch that's within our budget. If we have to abide by PSR as it is - we absolutely have to buy and sell.... including our very best players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legal cases don’t really work like that though. There is a single judgement at the end after both sides have presented arguments. Both sides will be confident of success, or they wouldn’t have taken it forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A three man arbitration panel with fears the third one might not be impartial? Sounds familiar. Ah well, maybe it won't even get that far. Maybe they've got a trunk of full evidence that will make the PL fill their undies at the first pre-trial hearing, tuned into online by 30,000 viewers.
