2023/24 Youssef Chermiti

Chermiti will need this season to settle. It would be unfair and unrealistic to expect too much from a young lad who has limited experience and just arrived from a different country.
I expect he will feature more in the second half of the season but hopefully we will not be relying on him to carry the burden of main striker.
Start him in cups coz I dont see us winning them anyway (sad as that is)
 
do you think because they signed Gykores for a lot of money (their record purcharse?) this is why they ended up accepting our offer instead of holding out for double due to cash flow?
Hard to believe we’ll be paying the full fee up front, so I can’t imagine it’ll help their cash flow.
 
Sooo bulk him up and get one good season out of him before he has a two year run of muscle problems that renders him useless?
Yes, exactly. That’s the plan.

Obviously what they mean is to take a 19 year old of a certain profile and develop him through the senior squad rather than spending a fortune on a fully developed striker.
 

Doesn’t matter how much is upfront does it? In terms of ffp, the total amount of the transfer is what is budgeted against regardless of when it’s paid down the line. So they can use it as cash flow now. (I believe).
Yeah, I nearly added “but it’ll still help with FFP” because it’s essentially accounting jiggery pokery.

I doubt their cash flow came into it considering they sold Ugarte to PSG and Porro to Spurs this summer for combined fees of around 100m euros
 

You’re not going to believe this but he’s injured.

What do they do in training?
