Maybe, but I dont think ASM for 27m is a stupid price.
i would do unspeakable things for 27 mil for iwobi right now
I would take 2.7m.
He's never been a regular goalscorer throughout his career. 1 goal is definitely less than he'd like but it's not that big a drop off for a player who's only very occasionally hit 5 a season throughout his career and was featuring a less than previously.
I don't think his valuation is that inflated.

Nottingham Forest owe MILLIONS to players and agents
EXCLUSIVE BY MIKE KEEGAN: It can also be disclosed that a number of agents, also owed millions, are now considering legal action, which could potentially see winding up petitions against the club.
Perfectly non-basketcase behaviour there if true.
P&S in the prem stinks and is solely a mechanism to maintain the status quo.
Yes it’s important clubs don’t do a Leeds and implode, but the must be another way for a benefactor to spend what they want while securing a clubs future.
For a billionaire to to spend beyond what a club can afford due to revenue, could for example be offset by them being obliged to put sufficient cash to be held in escrow until the club is either self sufficient or they sell up / sell assets to recover ‘losses’
Might mean a £500m splurge on fees and contracts becomes a £250m one (with the other £250m held in escrow) but should keep everyone happy and let low income clubs have a chance of competing. Also makes those same low income clubs more attractive to investment instead of being hamstrung by an impossible task of growing revenue to compete without on field success.

I reckon the fee will be, accounting wise, convenient.

Player Valuation: £30m
A really dumb and basic problem with the rules is that there is no allowance for blind luck. We can’t complain about voluntarily wasting millions on sub standard players, but Chelsea’s big money striker out for most of the season 1 week before it starts.
They will somehow absorb that and buy 20 replacements, but to a “normal” club that could destroy them. Cant afford any reinforcements, get relegated due to having to play their version of Maupay, and when the above player is back fit wants to leave and not play in the Championship, has barely played so gets sold for half what they paid, ruining next seasons FFP allowable spend. Can’t get out of the hole without 3 seasons of penny pinching and fire sales.
Player valuations are too big a proportion of the allowable limits, and a £20/30/50m player can easily be made useless by slipping in the bath.
They could try and flex the rules for this or Iceland-like situations, but the more flex, the more loopholes for Forest to find. Throw it all in the bin.

A salary/transfer cap for every club regardless of revenue/owner wealth is the only way.
But the big 6 + Newcastle would take their ball and leave if that ever happened which is why it will never be done.
Football as a competition is dead in most of the top leagues now. You can pretty much name who the top 3-4 sides will be come the seasons end before a ball has even been kicked.
Read it again and tell me how many times The Daily Fascist uses words such as could, potentially, considering, should and similar speculative terms in this story entirely absent of statements of fact and figures.Nottingham Forest owe MILLIONS to players and agents

And then this.... " Players who remain at the club are due to be paid their bonuses at the end of August. It is thought that those who have left will received their fees at the same time."
The writers of that rag can't even understand past/present terms or simply don't care to do basic proof reading. You can't seriously base any opinion on such obvious and vapid clickbait.
Maybe, maybe not.
What the sale of one player to a Saudi club since their takeover won't be though is any kind of proof that Newcastle are 'selling players to themselves' to skirt around financial rules

I think it is naive to think the Saudi owners wont use their wealth in all sorts of ways.
Of course.
But if people are talking about the unfair application of financial rules and pointing to Newcastle 'selling players to themselves' as an example then I think it's fair to point out that the sale of Saint-Maximin perhaps falls short of the proof required for charges to be levelled at Newcastle.
