Confirmed Signing James Rodriguez

[Terrarian]

age is irrelevant at this stage, lets get a functioning side first then look to build for the future. Sick of us treading water.

 

[BiggyRat]

I'm just worried that Merson will accuse us of breaking the transfer window again...

 

[BillBrasky]

You don’t bring in Ancoletti and then buy for the future. Signing Carlo meant a commitment to buying star power now. You can invest in young players as well and plan for life after Ancelotti, but the goal is to contend now.

Is this actually happening?

Ok, I’ll be the negative one:

How are we affording £20m James, £30m Doucoure and £30m Allan with no real outgoings with regards to FFP?

Genuine question.

Only just turned 29.. coming season will be over before turns 30... small things

The last time we had a side with a few promising young uns in it, it took the signing of a few old uns in Peter Reid and Andy Gray to gel the team. I don’t recall that worked out too badly for us? I do get what the likes of Zat mean about building for the future, but very few successful teams don’t have a few old heads in them?

Take the fine, take the two year ban from Europe, by the time the European match ban ends, we will have a team capable of competing in It?

 

[Bluebonic]

By the way, my argument may be hopelessly flawed and inaccurate, but my defence is that I know Jack about FFP and care about it even less

We've be selling bog roll and face mask on lockdown... people are excited about this transfer let's not ruin it by the boring talk of FFP. You can DM Esk for that.

I've got to tell you, this is not something I see anyone on here need concern themselves with.

Or just hire City’s lawyers.

We'll sell an asset to USM. £70 million easy to balance!! And you know, FFP is pure folly !!

Correct,kind sir.

 

[Barnfred 55]

Have we started negotiating yet ? Ah well good while it lasted.. Haha, As I post this breaking on sky sports, yellow band no less.

Up there with Harry Maguire and Messi

 

[coollino]

King implied in his tweet last night that he was aware of it last month

Shows how long these transfers can take and how the bedwetters don't actually need to know everything.
