Summer Transfer Window 2019

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

An effort which almost went in v Arsenal in 2011 from McAleny I remember very clearly. Was excited about him back then.

Thought he looked good against Krasnodar as well, the game that ironically Garbutt took all the plaudits for

You'll see this season.

You said that last season. And you also said that about Fred who was absolutely horrid most of the time.

You are on holiday mate.Take Mrs Eggs out to Seven St.George for a meal(if you are in Paphos) lol

....yep, in Paphos but a very nice all inclusive we visit once per year with great booze and food. Saying that, will certainly look your recommendation up, Matey.

For this particular deal it’s probably best for us to not know the detail..

Garbutt was rumoured to be on a £20k pw contract wasn’t he? Looking at the clubs he’s been loaned to over the years, we would’ve covered most of it .

I remember when Garbutt was re-signed after a few good (2/3?) performances many were made up, especially as other clubs were sniffing.

Yup at the time it seemed like good business as he was tied down to a deal and we were sending him to Leeds on loan for what we all hoped would be a break out season

We all know the rest

Book value - Wikipedia

@ijjysmith hope you've had your Weetabix because this ain't easy reading

All about accounting apparently, so exciting stuff

I think we all know I ain’t ever reading that.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Stop, stop, stop. Book value is meaningless.

How much are his wages? How much will another club pay for him? How much will his replacement cost in wages and fees? If you don’t sell now how does that change these answers? Which players give you the best chance at good results?

Book value is only useful for the audit and Deloitte report.

It really isn’t meaningless. It may be boring, but that is neither here nor there.

How much profit a club makes on a player isn’t derived from the sale value less the purchase value, but the sale value less the book value at the time of sale.

If we buy a player for £50m and sell one year later for £60m the profit to the P&L is £20m (the book value after purchase having decreased by 1/5 assuming a 5 year deal).

If we buy a player for £7m and sell 4 years later for £30m the profit is £28.6m.

Ultimately this gives us more wiggle room when tackling the likes of FFP.

Yep. It got written in an article once and suddenly everyone was all over it as if it's the most important thing in the world. Some people seem to genuinely think that showing a profit in a years accounts is better than actually making a profit, and having more money in your bank account. It's mental.

Agree completely that cash is king in any business, but the sad fact is that there are hoops to jump through these days that revolve solely around profit and loss according to the accounts.

Not to mention that potential financing for the stadium, etc, will depend on reviews of the accounts, not just Scrooge McDuck having a look at the latest bank statement.

Well you know what they say, life is like a hurricane down in Duckberg

There was utter utter fume when it turned out RS were interested. Utter fume. Signed. Then becomes 5th choice LB.

 

[Kantareller]

That’s him gone on a free essentially.

Looking forward to next summer when more contracts are up

 

[Bluewolf]

Why did we release Galloway one season earlier but not this guy?

Because Galloway was on about 5 grand a week and garbutt is on about 30 grand a week.

I imagine it was him only willing to go on loan.

Easy there Davey Moyes

With both de ligt and Griezmann confirmed transfer window should start moving quicker
