Confirmed Signing James Tarkowski

[Tommy.]

Weirdly I think Dave might have a point here

He was due one like. It often comes with the regularity of lent in a leap year, but it does happen occasionally

You might think that, the rest of us think he's a flat-earther.

Some libellous comments being banned around here regarding EFC, the PL, ffp and Burnley…

Shocking

Strange tweet, why post if there’s no changes

Why is it strange haha.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Heard we’ve only signed Tarkowski on the understanding we take a 6 point deduction for 22/23 season

 

[allen]

As said. Naive.

Keep digging that bunker, Dave. You're an absolute crackpot.

Hope he's not playing alongside Keane because that's essentially a six point deduction in itself!

Nar @davek thinks if we throw them 2million they will forget we breached FFP and totally ignore the 150m in prize money they will lose cos of it.

It's naive to think otherwise, LOL

£2m for wrting a letter to the PL?

Sounds like a good deal.

Are you telling me you think this league works without a load of minor corruptions?

FFS, it's childlike to do so.

No, I am not.

Your own lack of clarity on why they are separate issues is the problem here.

As I said earlier:

There are two things getting conflated here, and that's what makes no sense.

There very well might be some off-the-record (or even on-the-record) chats between Everton / Burnley / the FA looking for something or other to help this lawsuit go away.

Paying Burnley for a player that is no longer theirs is something entirely different. That square cannot be circled.

If you're not willing to accept that, and your past history suggests you're never willing to cede on anything, then frankly I'm done discussing this with you right as I put this last full stop just here.

Bothe Tarkowski and Frank on holiday plus surely waiting for new shirt launch too?,

Tarkowski is still on holiday? Christ, how the other half live.

The Tarkowski situation allows for bona fide contact between Everton and a former player...look how that might work: agents are as devious and operate at the edges of the law. Bung his agent - who probably does other work with Burnley - a big overpay for his services and that cash can easily be lost in a labyrithe of paper work down the line.

It'd be a breeze for accountants top set up such a scenario. They are all bent and operate just this side of the law and stretching it beyond all recognition.

You would have to be a wide eyed ingenue to not realise that the PL is crawling with deals like the one I just described. It's a billion pound industry, and where the cash is is where the sharp practices are.

It's been a week

You might think that, the rest of us think he's a flat-earther.

flat earthers can be right though - example:

question: can you travel to Preston from Liverpool without falling off the edge of the earth?
flat earth answer: yeah, you'll be fine.

Im curious what the letter would say.

Dear Premier League,

Everton have paid us for a player that was a free transfer, please accept this as proof that they are willing to do anything to avoid following the rules.

Signed
Some Yanks

I mean what next, shall we offer City some money towards them signing Haaland?

 

[Connor]

Whole reason we're waiting until we're *legally* allowed to register him as a player, is a reputation exercise.

Won't be any cash changing hands or promises of dropped lawsuits. Literally us being gentlemen, as Angelo Ogbonna once said
