January 2015 transfer window ( No GIFs allowed )(Nor fish puns ffs)

[blulouie]

Pienaar goes to Sociedad and we pay half his wages, eto'o to sampdoria for nothing, nobody comes in, everton beat palace and Liverpool - we are all happy again.

Or a couple more injuries / suspensions, 2 defeats ...Chelsea next up we'ed be lucky to put a team out against them.
Unless reinforcements are brought in its worrying times.

I spent a transfer two years ago planting Fletcher seeds in peoples minds. Those were the days

 

[mkrudden]

no thanks, hes done and wrong age

Not sure he's "done" but yeah fair enough if you don't think he would improve us.

[Carlito]

Januzaj would be everyone's favourite player within ten minutes of stepping out onto the pitch.

Couple our defence with the need for reinforcements im sure adolf hitler or OJ's Lawyer would struggle to mount a huge defence against Chelsea.

How does FFP wages vs turnover/revenue or whatever get calculated? Could finishing lower mean we need a lower wage bill?

FFP has nothing to do with it. What scenario could take place under current ownership which results in us spending more than we bring in? Finishing lower will absolutely mean less money for transfers and wages but not because of FFP ... it's because the only money we have to spend is money the club generates.

So yeah, to tie it back in to this thread, you could look at recent moves both realized and rumored and see them as salary dumps to make way for replacements (either now or more likely in the summer). It's a gamble (because could those players help us gain in the league v. saved wages) but everything is a gamble when you live as close to the edge financially as we do.

Especially with etoo going we need numbers in

Stand up David Henen.

 

[thefisch26]

no-one entire world has any idea...and DEFINITELY no-one on this forum...

Eh, I think we have a vague idea, basically can't outspend your revenue. The answer is probably something along the lines of yes, it might hurt us a little, but I don't think we're pushing our FFP limits as is... we had a massive profit last year.

 

[hetion]

Stand up David Henen.

Won't be doing nowt til next season. His one bit of media output this season was a couple weeks ago to say 'I'm not ready yet'.

I have to confess to being really excited about him though. Just a gut feeling.

 

[BoredSaint]

BAHAHA HOW CAN WE BE PUSHING FFP. WE NEVER SPEND

 

[Alex Hindmarsh]

Konoplyanka on the verge of signing for Roma. Not as good as people think he is imo.

Wait till we play Roma in the Europa and he tears Baines apart.

 

[matty1878]

Last min signings on transfer day?

 

[meagher94]

There's no way we aren't signing anyone in this window, there has to be something/multiple things in the pipeline.

Can take a man on, is pacy, has end product.. Hence is needed.
