Yeah so that's absolute nonsense, to claim them as being in profit you have to accept that their outgoings are spread over 8 and 5 years, but not apply the same logic to their incoming fees, they're being assumed as a total received.

Now there might be some idiotic loophole that allows this as far as FFP goes, but you have to be incredibly generous to call it making a profit, they're leveraged to fuck on these signings and one or two windows down the line it's going to end up severely restricting them.

Next window they're £135m down before they've even started.

I know all clubs are in the same boat, but no other clubs are taking it to such a wild extent.

yea of course, but as far as FFP goes they are in credit this year. of course next year is a different story. hes just explaining how they are getting away with it.

its going to be interesting to see how these 8 year deals play out. are the players on a set rate for the 8 years or are they on a yearly % increase? hopefully it fucking ruins them, theyve tried to be clever and hopefully it seriously backfires. if saudi start buying their shitters next year you know they are cheating cunts.

Couldn't give a fuck about their profit. Would love it if they actually tried to compete financially instead of looking for miracles from managers.

....................BUT; 50m over the value is not a "little over the odds".

It was rubbish anyway. Rice isn't a 50m player in this market.

Caicedo has gone for 110m. Lavia is going for 60. Rice is HG AND at least as good as Caicedo.

They overpaid but not by much. And within 3-4 years people probably won't even look on it as overpaying as the market is shifting again and 100m transfers won't be a remotely big deal for the top 6 teams soon.

The back up to Richarlison is Son playing through the middle. What we need is someone who can compete for the first team spot with a real chance of taking the shirt, I still think Vlahovic is the obvious choice.

Right now, but obviously it's not ideal for a starter in one position to be a backup for another position. E.g. if Ange wants to sub Richarlison off in the 70th minute to freshen up our attack he doesn't really have anyone to put on right now.

Not my numbers mate; they're the other dude's....... Besides the concept being debated remains the same.

We certainly shouldn't overpay 2x the valuation just because.

Maddison/Bissouma are definitely two examples of no brainer, smart signings which paid off and instantly upgraded us without being overly expensive.

Those kind of players don't always become available and knowing when it is worth paying the massive fee and when you walk away from those is a bit of an art that can easily go wrong. Unless you're Chelsea and then you just pay it anyway and if it goes wrong you flog 'em to Saudi a year later.

I'm torn between wanting to give this front 3 a run in the team versus the desire to give a look to other players.

I assume things will be juggled over the coming weeks and I highly doubt we'll end the season with the same starters as we're beginning the season with; but any flash judgements based on 1 page and one specific set of circumstances is extremely hasty.
