It's a quick of accounting and thus FFP. Players treated as liabilities on the balance sheet.

18 months? A bit of a lie. His form tailed off from Jan last year, when the whole teams did. Same as this season playing in a crap team and being asked to just sit back like a muggle.
Yeah again nobody is arguing against selling Digne.
It's the way it's happened and played out and why it has been done.
Villa will get a good LB. A better LB than our new one, that's for sure, but our new one is 22 not 28 and has a lot of scope to grow. I hope that's under a better manager.
Villa are going to go all out for Europe (they'd only lost to Chelsea, City and Liverpool since Stevie Me took over before the Brentford game). It's worth it for them, and it's worth it for us.
But we better hope the club get a bloody good deal.
How does it work when a purchased player is only paid for in chunks though?
and just after he'd come back into a team that was playing 442 deep block because of the injuries (unlike Benitez, Ancelotti reacted to what he'd got) after pushing himself back from an injury that should have kept him out since March.

Best players? What has he done to warrant that in the last two season. He's been poor and has never reached the levels of the mighty Leighton Baines.

Maybe a reflection on the rest of them tbh. But Lucas can be a very good player.
I think for complicity, there is an agreed industry standard of how the monies have to be accounted for. I know a couple of clubs have tried creative things and been told no. It makes a bit of a mockery of those who defend FFP really, as there are lots of areas where it makes little sense.
On the specific point you make, without being an accounting or lawyer, all I could say is that you dont always have to have the whole value of X for it to show. Theres normally a "recievables" section for payments due,.but it wouldnt go under "cash and equivalents". Different subsections but under the same section "assets".
The whole value would be added as well, and FFP makes bo distinction or penalty on the potential you may not be paid. You have a contract, that states you will be paid Y, you can count Y.
In their defence, the football preferred creditors rule makes it quite likely all payments will be made.
But yea. FFP is a badly run system, even from an accounting perspective. It doesnt make much sense.
Designed by a bunch fools who think they are really clever. Your thinking mans Kopite as it were, the sort who bang on about "passing lanes" whole sipping a skinny latte.
Of course they get on!

No I can see the good old sell on value coming into play abs replacing a nearly 29yr old, who’s value will start to drop and he’s contracted to 32. Another Coleman on our hands potentially
With a 22yr old and using that money to buy a RB and potentially another player is good business. In the financial predicament we find ourselves
