Indeed it is.
Doesn't seem to be doing them any good.
Can you explain what you're implying then, you fucking moron.Did I say it’s a conspiracy?
Why does every idiot now think they win if they call someone a conspiracy theorist?
Not a release clause but i remember we signed Michael Brown right at the start of a January window. That was 2004 which says a lot.I'm sure I'm missing something, but let me just ask this esteemed group.
Have we EVER activated a player's release clause upon the opening of the window as has now become a pretty common player acquisition strategy?
I remember Luka Modric was a deal that was "done" at the close of the previous season, dunno if that was release clause related or not.
Both Spurs and Chelsea are acting incredibly shortsightedly and stupidly.
Meanwhile City are extracting peak value for Joao Cancelo the instant there's any hint of the situation becoming a problem, just like with Leroy Sane.
They'll likely still be ok by FFP even if they do buy Fernandez. Going by transfermarket, since 2019 they are roughly £430M in the Red on transfers, but as you say, the longer the contract, the better the amortisation will be. They've pretty much balanced their books, until this window, with multiple loans and a few biggish sales, with Hazard being the biggest one.It’s fucking insane!
It just doesn’t breech FFP.
And they won’t sign anyone for the next couple of windows.
I rage-listed my City ticket weeks ago.
I rage-listed my Spam ticket weeks ago.
I'm on the verge of rage listing my Chelsea ticket too.
Well, there must be some base to it. We still stuck with Dier...Jose being a twunt he was sold for € 3M to Fenerbache but we offered €5M , Jose talking outta his ring stinger
Don't act like you know how this usually works. Maybe the selling side is usually responsible for fees. E.g. when I sold my house, a proportion of the sale price went to the agent, not an additional fee from the buyer.Regardless of whether or not it is true, why should Sporting pay the administration charges to facilitate our payment structure?
We're the ones that need the instalment payments. We should pay the associated costs.
There is no Base, he is lying, not about his personal facetiming but about the fees, he was sold for 3M but we offered 5M , nothing to do with us not ponying up the money...Well, there must be some base to it. We still stuck with Dier...
I don't think we have, no.I'm sure I'm missing something, but let me just ask this esteemed group.

I didn’t imply anything. It was a direct fucking question.
Well the obvious answer is usually the true one: everyone is blaming Sporting because they're to blame. If you agreed to rent a car over the internet for your vacation, and then arrived there only for them to spring extra "administrative costs" on you, you'd be rightfully angry.
