Even 6m for Ndidi is a massive yikes

I was a Partner in a top 10 Global Consulting Firm and then a CFO of a $9bn revenue global business and I do not think I have enough information to make a reliable estimate of EFC’s transfer (fee/amortisation) and wage headroom this window but...

Think he’s fairly quick in fairness Garner. Certainly for a centre mid. He’s slight though and certainly not strong enough on the ball.

He’s just a very average centre mid in the prem isn’t he. 15-20th, probably stays in the prem most of his career. If he got relegated somewhere you wouldn’t be shocked if he saw it out in the championship though. I hope he kicks on and really...

I know he's sort of technically an athlete due to his job, but that is a very strange word to choose to describe him. He's not someone I would describe as an athlete in a footballing sense at all.

I have absolutely no idea to be honest. There needs to be really with everything that needs doing, but I won't pretend to have the faintest idea how much we're likely to be able to spend. As I said though, the moves made so far strongly suggest...

We do, but I don’t think anyone really knows how much headroom.

In fairness I don't think anyone was suggesting that we were in trouble with PSR, only that it may not have completely gone off the radar and we might not have huge amounts of money to throw around. The noises we've heard from the club certainly...

You can't do maths without the figures, and we don't have the figures. So not a great point really.

No, that ignores both sets of regulations, England's PSR and UEFA's FFP. They're both profit and loss measures, moving cash is a balance sheet transaction. There isn't a scenario that both clubs come out ahead financially, at least not for...

It's not really an overreaction. It's close season in a football forum, people are just talking about what there is to talk about. The way that this seems to surprise people every time it happens is a bit mad.

Many teams, if not all, we play have a match plan that basically focuses on stopping Garner getting the ball and let as much as possible go through Gueye. When we try to play out from the back, they make sure to position players between Garner...

Hahaha! Yes mate. This would be a perfect deal for us because of ‘the reasons’. Stick to baseball lad.

May be true but every single football club forum is exactly the same. Even Man City.

We're assuming they have a good plan in place and know what they're doing to work around PSR etc. I won't just trust in them blindly. Our previous owner was rich and an accountant yet still put us in a precarious position. All I do know is, if...
