2019/20 Gylfi Sigurdsson

He was an example of how to spend bad money.
In fairness, he was one of many poor signings a few years back when we demonstrated how #### we are in the transfer market.
 
If that was the case we could sign a player then sell him the next day for a loss with his wages supposedly taking us into a positive FFP position.

i just calculate on the transfer fees and leave wages separate.



Klaasen was such an obviously poor signing from that Ajax team. It also didnt make any sense when there were plently of other options to strengthen the midfield.

Sigurdsson made sense to me and i liked him as a player but without the team being setup for him its another luxury signing.

One of the first things we should be looking for is a winning mentality and heart and luckily weve got those with Allan and Doucoure. James of course would be the somewhat luxury player but one of the best in the world at what he brings.

There is an annual cost to a player mate, amort and wages, both need to be taken into account, transfer fees arent accurate in weighing up the profit we make on a player, comparing book price to transfer fee is useful, if working out player trading on fees. But you need to add amort and wages to see that scenario to work out the overall annually to the club.

Gylfi for example if he stays will cost the club 28 mill in this and next years accounts cumulatively, his book price is 17 mill, if he leaves this summer that 28 mill is wiped out of the clubs books and any fee we got on top for him added.
 

No midfielder brings their A game to that midfield.

He was the best of a terrible bunch.

Ancelotti knows the score.

*waits for Sigurdsson to be sold to China or USA next week.
