Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[cardno4]

Heard him talked about on the sky podcast
Wants in excess of 100k a week.
Linked with Marseille
Was thriving at Shalke but ran down his contract with no apparent suitor
Strange one

And I'd pay it too. Not sure about excess of but certainly 100k on a free.

no chance, we got at least 100 mil from just tv money alone which covers the net loss on transfer fee's of 60 mil

we have money we are just not spending it for whatever reason

if the club just said it's for the stadium then i could accept it

but staying silent is just wrong

We made a loss on transfers of £60M, and the (mainly) wasters we signed are on long and lucrative contracts.

 

[RomanReigns]

I know it's surprising, but there are a lot more debits that the club pays than transfer fees and player wages.

so do other clubs yet they are spending the cash

from a financial point of view with the tv money its given every club the luxury to now buy 50 mil players without any consequences

You cant reply to it because a full explanation is provided and its not up for discussion.

The site costs a fair whack a month - we need advert revenue an they dont allow/will revoke a license if their adverts are alongside poor language. More: https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/language-polite-reminder.91637/

Sound and that’s understandable

doesn't really matter when the prem league is making more and more money and the clubs are getting a share of it

It's the wages which are the issue. Sandro, Rooney and Siggy all came in on over 100k per week.

I'm not in any cliche and I refuse to join any cliche that would accept me as a member.

I’ll put you down for a maybe! x

If you don't care to loop in the intricacies of Everton having more squad players on wages and having spent more on trash(that they likely won't be able to recoup anything near what they paid) than other clubs "spending the cash" along with other behind the scenes happenings, then there's no hope for this conversation.

rooney is gone, sandro's wages were covered by sevilla last season, siggy is worth 100k a week

people forget that tv money is not the only income the club makes, that on its own is around 100 mil, there is income from players sales, income from tickets, income for merchandise, income from sponsorships, income from everywhere that could bring in around 150-200 mil

wages shouldn't be an issue with that kind of income

Our wage bill last season was higher than the money we got from Sky.

Pretty sure that's how Barca do business tho, Sell them put a reasonable low buy back clause if they become good buy them.

It makes sense but when you're a big club like Barca you can do things like that.

It can also make a player who's at Barca even consider someone like us as they will know if they fulfill their own ambitions and are as good as their ego tells them, theyll be bought back.

if liverpool can get 12 mil for a reserve keeper then i have no worries about recouping money for our fringe players

Wait and see the actual figures when publised. Wage bill is rumoured to be about 140 million and turnover around 175 million.

It's not sustainable.

no it isn't

our wage bill is around 70 mil

probably less now that mori and rooney have gone

we got 128 mil form tv money
