Hes their record signing at £6mil and their previous record sale was about double that.

Who linked us? Nothing overly impressive - gave the way more than he kept it, and that is his highlights package...

Interesting, our new DOF is known to like South American players we should look at that market

If we pay him that and sell in a year's time then a) he will be 30 and thus less attractive to prospective clubs, b) we run the risk that he gets injured and we have another unsellable player on massive wages and, most importantly c) any prospective buyer would have to be willing to match the huge wages or he is not going to want to leave and we have another player riding out a huge contract.

Understand it still counts toward FFP but what if we offered him a decent sign-on bonus on a reduced salary. Would make moving him on easier and help the interested club offer him a higher salary whilst increasing the transfer fee they are willing to offer, therefore paying back the sign on-bonus and FFP profit.

Really hope building some athleticism and creativity in midfield is addressed this summer

I think the structure of it from the clubs perspective is to spread the cost over as many seasons as possible, to minimise the impact on the annual accounts. So if we sign him in a 3 year contract with a high wage, low signing bonus, that’s actually better accounting wise. Than a lower wage and bigger signing bonus, because it will hit the accounts in one go.
The smart move is to just not do a contract that is too long, a 5 year deal would be terrible, but a 2 or 3 would be fine because even if we have to move him on the cost would not be too great or for too long

When folk here were going crazy in Jan about us selling Digne I commented that, from the reverse perspective, if we were signing a 28 year old left back on 6 figures a week and a 29 year old injury prone Barca reject on megabucks, we’d be complaining that no lessons had been learned from our recent problems. And now it seems Villa are potentially carrying on that policy into the summer too.

It’s short-termism and we know the pitfalls of that. Realistically, what is their short-term goal? The top teams with higher revenue are spending as much or more so cracking the top 4 is more remote than ever. Even Europa is unlikely, conference at a push, and would that balance out this enormous burden they are putting on wages for players with little sell-on value?

It’s depressing to have to be realistic about things, for them or us, but we’ve seen ourselves what happens when you pile too much into unlikely short-term goals.

I had no problem selling Digne tbh. But to do it in January in the middle of a relegation battle, with no experienced cover.. it was madness and almost bit us very hard on the arse.

When people talk about signing on fees players just don’t that sum paid up front.

Signing on fees are more often than not paid annually some refer them as being loyalty bonuses .

Midfield

Midfield is the correct answer, by far. No area of the park came out of last season with much credit but when you have a midfield that struggles to a) retain the ball b) create quality chances or c) win the ball back before it reaches the defenders it is going to make all the other areas look worse.

I’m not saying our defenders or attackers are brilliant but our attackers spent all season feeding off scraps and the defenders spent all season under pressure from a midfield that couldn’t retain or win the ball often enough. Sort the midfield and it will benefit all departments.

 

[Nymzee]

Thank God for that one.

Palace and Everton interested, surely that answers the question.

Palace have done good business, the type of business we should be doing.
