We enquired intensely to be fair to us mate.

Sport O Pete is reporting Villarreal have told us a £35 mill gets a deal done for Barry - which is weird as as I thought he had a 40 mill euro release and £35 mill is 41 mill euro.

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

Honestly if TFG needs to pay in instalments then clearly they don't want or don't have the financial power to really help us to be back challenging at the top.

TFG is not going to pay transfer fees.

It’s not their money it’s PSR that’s the issue. 7 million a year for 5 years or 33 million up front totally changes how much we can spend elsewhere

That's not how any football deals are made. They are always some form of multiple payments.

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

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.

Clubs pay in installments to ease the burden on cash flow

Ah my bad

 

[heatmeiser]

Have we really been linked with Backwards Hair Fred?

Exactly. See Man U as example. They owe hundred of millions on previous transfers.

I would sooner we got Mangala back than signing Fred for £18 mil

Think he's out injured untill November/December, pity, he was solid enough.
