Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[CairnsToffee]

Trent Sainsbury.

Think we should be looking to get away from very average players, who have the odd average game against a good side that performed very poorly......next!

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

If we have unlimited funds, why would FFP matter?

Can you ask City if FFP is affecting their transfer business for me please Zat.I mean its affecting PSG, but thats cos they spent 385m buying 2 players last summer, thats gonna sting a little.

It’s not even affecting PSG to be fair

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Yep, I'd like to think there is better value for £25m than a 22 year old from the championship.

You might “like to think” that, but look at the state of the prices mate. £25m now is literally like £7-£8m of a few years ago.

 

[FTY]

Yeah. And Hazard, Fekir and Dembele from Barca on loan too.

Not even slightly comparable

2 people on his list are crocked and dreadful

In England...it won't always be the case abroad, I just don't think he's what we need tbh.

Fekir isn't crocked, the RS just don't have much money without selling.

 

[LocalNative]

I think we have the keeper set.

Now need to sign a CB /CM/WF who can rise to the top.

The three who have been linked recently, Diop, Torreira (more of a DM) and Lozano could do just that...

Hopefully we go after those calibre players...

Diop is going West Ham and Torreira to Arsenal.

Now read what I said again

 

[gixerk6]

Diop is going West Ham and Torreira to Arsenal.

I'd never take it that any player is going to West Ham as nailed on. They've screwed up two already due to not wanting to pay the wages the players want. I have a few WH fans who are mates and they are sick of the dildo brothers low balling players and clubs with poor wage offers and bids

Confused. So you’re saying Hazard and Dembele are crocked? Strange definition of ‘crocked’ you have. And dreadful? Really? You really think 2 on that list are dreadful? Wow.

Apologies, just read your initial post. Ignore this one

Isn't it about the means of where the money is being generated though as to how much you are allowed to spend within FFP?

Everton won't make anything in comparison to city/psg so our bracket would be lower?

 

[PeregrineT]

I don’t think we have that much money, no sign of anyone coming in, not even a sniff.

Lots of players need to be shipped out or it is the old saying.

We will go with what we have got.

You may have noticed theres a world cup on? Theres no signs of anyone coming in anywhere. Over the 4 big leagues, and 80 teams, there have been only 9 significant transfers(over 20 million euros per player, which is what we want). Thats only 2 per league. The World Cup means the good players arent going to transfer until after it.

Yes but in Citys case, where does their money come from?

Manchester City bank record £400m sponsorship deal with Etihad Airways

Etihad are owned by the Abu Dhabi government and the airline's association with the City owner, Sheikh Mansour, a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family, will almost certainly prompt Uefa's Club Financial Control Panel, under the chairmanship of the former Belgian prime minister Jean-Luc Dehaene, to investigate.

So basically we could do the same thing, but with USM.

I'd agree with that and assume we already were with the USM Finch farm deal, on a smaller scale
