Maybe so. The point remains though. Barca decided to take Gerry back just to move him on. An injury crisis, the hint of interest from other clubs, or even filling the homegrown quota could easily see a last 'second' decision made to come in and...
Villa buying their way out of PSR trouble, wonder if we'll do the same in the next transfer window to give us some more transfer funds? there has been talk of it, but not sure if just from fans
Remember when PL warned us and Villa that they where ‘keeping an eye on us’ after the Tim and Dobbin transfers?
But selling your women’s team to yourselves is sound.
What a complete and utter bent farce of a ‘competition’
4 years to the day that the FSW was made our manager. It’s almost hard to believe it happened looking back, christ we’ve been a mess haven’t we.
Really hoping the next month gives us all cause for optimism, and a chance to finally see some long...
I don't get this hate towards buybacks. Guess we also shouldn't loan anyone, ever then.
Get two years of good service of a player and then make a profit. If we buy a player who turns out to be really good that's more or less what we probably get...
Probably yeah but it honestly depends on what figure it was because they knew how good he was when they sold him. They tend to set their buy back price at double the sale so at 80 mil they probably would but Palmer also probably wouldn't go back...
Wouldn’t bother me this tbh. If they bought him back then it would be a significant profit for us.
And without a buyback clause they could just buy him back if they wanted anyway.
The squad is so thin, I cant see a world where we sell Garner and Iroegbunam. If we accept we will play 451 (433) with 2 holding midfielders and 1 attacking in the middle, we need Gana plus 3 players to make up the starting pair of holding...
Hadn’t noticed that. It is the PL website so would like to think it’s fairly accurate.
Depends when the list was submitted, maybe we were still thinking we were keeping Doucs at that time.
And maybe the DCL and Keane delay is that we knew it...
