timeEd32 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) 35 minutes ago, KetsbaiaIsBald said: I don’t think it’s as simple as people make out when they say things like 30m in means we can buy 3 players for 50m over 5 years (as this year the cost of the 50m player is just 10m). This doesn’t take into account the following years accounts when 30m does not come in. I guess either commercial revenue needs to keep going up or players need to be constantly sold to make up for a short fall. I’m probably missing something though. You're not really wrong, but two important points: - We had to spent a lot of money in the last two years just to play catch-up with the squad, while at the same time having no one of note to sell. Selling him (and Wood) helps us with the current three-year accounting period as well as the two following this one. - Our revenue, particularly commercial and player sales, has nowhere to go but up. In four years time when selling Maxi is gone from the books and we're still paying fees/wages for Tonali, Barnes, Livramento, and others we will have presumably made considerable progress on these fronts.

Anyway, Ashworth and Eddie know far more than me. Mane looked decent for Southampton but then turned elite when he joined Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would make FFP so much simpler and harder to dodge just by having a decent accountant/lawyer Guess that would violate about a million trade laws though I haven't really looked at the subject in depth but it would seem that Chelsea and man city have basically cheated FFP but are immune (hence no proper punishment) so now they have brought in far stricter measures?

Displayname Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Getting some quality cover on RB/RW isnt the worst thing.. All thats missing now for this transfer window is a world class LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 This guy looked terrifyingly good when he first went to Southampton as a teen. Such a sneaky good signing. Think a lot of people have forgotten and are going to be shocked when they see him out on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Worth noting, if multiple sites are to be believed, that he's on very low wages at the moment. We could double them and he'd still only be on about £20k/week. As far as FFP is concerned a player who costs £30m making £1m/yr (£20k/wk) costs the same as a player who costs £20m making £3m/yr (£60k/wk). My guess is people would have less of a reaction to the latter, but it's all the same in the end (and I'd argue the higher fee/lower wages is probably preferable). That will also mean that, if he does well, he'll be near the top of the list for an extension which would further smooth out the transfer fee.

relámpago blanco Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 There must be another 1 or 2 signings after this as we clearly need a CB or an attacking leftback more than a right-back. Maybe Manquillo is off to Saudi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not complaining as I think both would be cracking signings) Maxi's roughly £25m profit in this year (assuming around £30m sale), £65m outlay on those two will be roughly £13m cost in the year.

I'm not suggesting we are signing him for that purpose but it could be in our long term thoughts. I don't think he's a CB type at all despite his height, more likely to play higher up the pitch than as a CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to a CB and LB it is. Was thinking that. Could be the perfect foil in front of Trippier, with them alternating on attacks and covering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upfront yeah but I would really expect the £30m to be heavily incentivized (struggling with this word ), maybe 15-20m straight up and rest depending on appearances/team success.

It's just how football works now, pretty sure we 5-6x Isak's pay too. £20k would be way too little for someone of Livramento's status despite the injury. Edit. Seems like Isak went from €20k a week to £120k a week. Edited July 20, 2023 by Pata Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
