Other clubs summer transfers 2023

Where’s Archer off to? Ramsey deal is confirmed now apparently

Doesn’t say just they’re open to a sale.

Only £3m of which they pocket now

They could have sold him for £30m outright to another club

Not really mate, no other club is stupid enough to pay 30m for him.

Just seems weird that Romano included that particular phrasing in his tweet

"Brentford accepted this way as it helps Arsenal with Financial Fair Play"

Eh?

Bit odd like.

It's creative accounting. Brentford still basically have £30mill to spend which will offset by when they get the money next season. They don't lose out and it helps Arsenal push the payment a year for FFP.

They already had a £30mill deal agreed but it changed overnight to this farce to help Arsenal out. Brentford extended his contract by a year too to "guarantee" the fee.

Win win for both. And goes to show whoever has the best accountants and connections get round these rules.

So it's a clear violation/bending of FFP rules in plain sight?

Remember when we could just enjoy watching football matches instead of masquerading as amateur accountants?

Don't have to be an amateur accountant to see how a £30mill deal turns into a £3mill loan overnight.

It's excessive for a back up goalkeeper so why not make it look better financially

I mean it’s neither really. It’s just a loan with a purchase obligation/option.

Everyone will know what it is but nothing wrong with it.

For all Chelseas signings, they look light at CM. Assuming its Lavia and Caicedo? RS could be punished for messing about?

Oh goshy this could be brilliant

Now we need Big Red to show interest in Onana and we can get this party started.

Big red hate chelsea nearly as much as us and the mancs. Be funny if he rocks up in cockney blue on Sunday and scored the winner

They want £50m - Chelsea offer £48m + add ons?
Just offer the £50m and get it sorted. Some clubs actions baffle me.

Same with Caceido. Just buy him if you want him that much.

They’re not like us where we’re having to be extra careful with what we spend.

Welcome to sports in America. The purpose of this sort of rule is to guarantee profits for club owners over time, because the appreciation of the club's value outpaces whatever is spent to stay competitive.

We've been dealing with this sort of nonsense for a generation. Do enjoy your stay with us.
