I'm not sure he will tbh, unless we bring in 2 CB (i doubt we will due to the number of other positions that need looking at) i don't see him being sold, there has been no suggestions of it so far tbf.

Genuinely dont think anyone will take him.

Finding someone to take him wouldn't be hard at all, finding someone to pay what we would want to sell him for would be.
Possibly. You'll have paid £5m in wages to him though and let's say a £1m signing on fee. He'll be 27, if we were looking to sell him after a year you'd have to assume he hadn't been particularly good for us, which would make him look like even more of a one season wonder. He certainly wouldn't be going to one of the 'top 6' then, and you could likely rule Wolves and Leicester out too, as well as Bournemouth for obvious reasons. You'd make a profit still, but it'd be unlikely to be a particularly big one, which would probably render it a pointless signing.

If they have two arms and have played top flight football it'll probably do
Not a chance that will happen.

Ill be honest mate, as things stand I don't think the news is as big as many of us would like to believe. You know me, I'm an optimist, I've been very much in the Usmanov in camp from minute one and felt that FFP would have to be adapted. If those are the recommendations and the only recommendations then not much changes.
From what I can see they are not going to immediately judge 2020 at the end of this season. So all of the clubs will not be punished for big losses. However they will judge it the following season. The sop they are giving is that the 2020 year can be balanced alongside the 2021 and you take the average. So it dilutes the problems this year, and extends the period of time before you get punished, but at present it is not going to get rid of this.
I mean a couple of points. This will suit the top teams who have had incomes smashed in 2020. If you normally make 40m, and then lose 200m, the two years combined will then be say a 110m loss. It will still have an impact, but it gives a lot more breathing space. We are more probably now a business that might have lost say 70m, and due to Covid we will lose 100m. So we have if you average them we lose 85m. Still some breathing space but not as much.
There are some assumptions in there. The first is that 2021 we returns back to normal. I mean it's possible, but it's best case scenario that from Jan 1st stadiums are completely full, sponsors/TV paying the same amount, same amount of commercial sales etc. I'll be frank for different reasons I don't see that. I see the contagion in businesses raging into 2021 and likely some restrictions on how many seats are sold in 2021.
The other important phrase, buried away at the bottom is "allowing specific Covid 19 adjustments". That is the key phrase as to what will be allowed. I think this will be very difficult to enforce. I think it probably gives enough grounds for further sliding. We could theoretically say we lost the ability to sell Richarlinson for £100m+ and show a 70m+ profit, so it has to be factored in.
I think this legislation is a first step. Once you start tinkering with a system it tends to be more reformed. At present though, its by no means a green light for mass spending. All you could say, is the losses in this period would only count for half, so on that basis perhaps makes sense to pile up.

I'll be quite honest, I do not see us paying him anywhere near that in wages. A week ago people were saying Silva was 300k p/w, and he latest reports are we are offering him about 40% of that. I think He is coming to us as Arsenal and Spurs have baulked at 100k p/w. Its a gamble but if you could squeeze wages down enough, it may become viable.
Loosely what I meant.

Ok glad we're on the same page
Well I was more just continuing with the original point. If we're trying to get his wages down and taking a gamble on him, then that would suggest we're not being bankrolled by Usmanov which is all I was saying. I don't think he's a bad player to be honest; he's certainly good enough to get games for us, just not sure he's any better than what's already here. As an aside, there's no way he's got to June and turned down a contract extension without having something lined up. There'll be no negotiating going on now, he knows exactly where he's going and exactly how much he's going to get paid, it just hasn't been made official yet.
