Same sort of profile as Mykolenko though - he's defensively solid, but he gives you very little in terms of build up play with the ball. What we desperately need on that side is some quality in terms of delivery and progressing the ball - if...

Yes. Again, the agreement date can be post dated.

It's more about agents fees and signing on fees etc, I only recently discovered - the contract amortization works over the length of any contract and depreciates monthly from an accounting perspective - so that in itself wouldn't preclude a...

That's got nothing to do with PSR mate PSR affects accounting - so if you buy a player for £50m on a 5 year contract, whether you pay in installments or you pay all up front, it costs £10m per year in amortization costs on your balance sheet...

Mate, practically nobody in the league pays transfer fees in full. It's a cash flow killer.

Spanish release clauses tend to only be able to be activated if you pay the entire fee up front. Could be that Villarreal have told us they'll settle for installments at a marginally higher amount

Yeah, I'll probably have a look if I can get my head out of the bog where it's been mostly for the past 12 hours

Interestingly there's a compilation I saw which was about 8 minutes long and it was all stuff pre-Villarreal and, being honest, there's absolutely no way you'd sign him based off that. Quick and direct, but raw, rash and really unpolished with...

No no no no no no no no no no no no Thierno Barry!! Sign him up

I've watched Woltemade a few times now (including once live) and as much as I think he looks exceptionally talented, I have real doubts about how he'd translate to a focal point striker here. He doesn't even really play as a number 9 (or rather...

"They are also hoping to install a new head of football operations following a process being handled by executive search firm Nolan Partners." I notice that contract Dave has just been made redundant by Man Utd - wonder if the prodigal son may...

Yes

If McNeil is starting games for us next season then we have failed this transfer window.

And that's fine, but it isn't just his wages - City have another £33m or so in amortization on him plus wages of at least another £15 million for another two years of his contract - that's a minimum of £31m he's costing them this year. It's hard...

Hang on. What?
