Ultimately I want these owners to develop the club as an institution that can stand on its own two feet, rather than one that might go under once they lose interest and stop investing or decide to sell up. I want the club to excel in scouting, youth academy, player development, having a clear identity/playing style, etc. as opposed to ending up as PSG Mk II. Expand I agree to a point. But for me, Isak is almost a generational talent. How would you replace him? Bruno I would be sad to see go, but for what we'd lose in technique, we could probably gain in other aspects where he's not so good, like pace. Not that I'd want to lose him either tbh, but that's the way the game is rigged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I read somewhere that loans are bad business sense with regards to PSR as a loan fee (hefty these days depending on the player) can’t be amortised.

Not that I'd want to lose him either tbh, but that's the way the game is rigged. Expand The game is rigged to stop our owners using their vast wealth to turbocharge our development the way Chelsea, PSG and City have been, but not to stop us making progress the way any football owner with their head screwed on can. When we were held back by that cunt Ashley I never wanted NUFC to be owned by the wealthiest owner and demolish the competition by vastly outspending them. All I ever wanted was an ambitious owner that acts in the best interest of the club and moves it forward. We have that and then some. As for your individual players, I agree Isak is pretty much irreplaceable, and we have some other very good other players I’d be sad to see leave, but the way I see it is that we’re clearly able to spot a talent, so for every player we sell for a good fee we’d be able to get a replacement and strengthen another position, allowing the club to not go stale and move forward in overall quality. Sadly we cannot do that by holding on to our “purples” until their contracts expire or they start to decline, so needs must.

1unluckyjill Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) How much was halls loan fee last year ? If you're obligated to buy you are probably more then likely to pay roughly the same or more over the 3 to 5 year period anyway, and you can only get knocked back instead of doing nowt.

Expand Sure it's a risk, plus it can be rewarded if it works out. Hall being the example, if you want you could possibly use target, however he did well when he was on loan and helped us stay up. If the selling club and the players are ok with the terms of the negotiations, then go for it if it's possible, Italian clubs have been doing that for years. Also it's better taking a risk with the potential of winning cups and also qualifying for champions League, then to get no one in, asking for miracles by expecting Howe to achieve those goals, without any backing for 3 windows,and then having joelinton, Barnes Wilson, lascelles already injured and then potentially have isak, Gordon, Murphy and tonali, and bruno and botman getting injured too Edited February 5 by 1unluckyjill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
