Colos Short and Curlies Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 33 minutes ago, Jackie Broon said: Also, the PL/UEFA probably wouldn't accept that it's actually a real free transfer and would add his book value to our PSR accounts. More likely the full £70m fee paid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there a rule about revenue vs wages ratios? Nunez was a £70m big striker summer signing for, at the time one of the big 2 clubs in the country along with City. He would have been on mega money at Liverpool and then probably doubled that of not more to move to Saudi. So even if he halved his wages, he'd probably be way clear of our highest earner in Bruno but the ability level of someone like Osula but with less potential. Plenty of risk there for me even if there is no transfer fee. Agreed. Who is gonna touch that guy? Anyone who could afford the wages wouldn't want him.

I suppose it might depend on if he wants to play at the top level or join some circus outfit outside of Europe that might not punish clubs for throwing money at players regardless of the cost.

Easy Saudi pay 70% of the wages, we sign him for free. Problem solved 👌😁 dont know the player anymore but we could use a player with the energy he had at Lpool.

Kimbo Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Any CB we get has to be a leader, we don’t need another Thiaw or Botman, being talented isn’t really enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has probably already been asked but are teams affected by the switch from PSR to SCR in terms of timing? I assume we have to be compliant until the 30 June?

Could be our #1 for a decade or more. The squad has a lot of holes in it, won’t fix them all in one window. Edited May 10 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
