...But you could just sub off Son and get a better effect, it doesn't solve anything. You don't have fresh legs to bring in for Richarlison, so the problem remains.

Why is it to "better effect"? It's just different.

One would assume you typically change a CF to give the CBs something a little different to handle, not that they've gassed out.
 
Man you are dumb. I’m done with you, life is too short 👍

Trust me... I'm not being dumb.... I'm being mildly facetious, granted; but that's because you're avoiding the difficult question(s)...... i.e. The very punchline to your very first post.

...And whether you like it or not you DID say pay 100m for a 50m player and that's NOT overpaying by just "a little bit".

You started off with plenty of bluster; where has it gone all of a sudden?

Because Son is older and plays on the wing, both imply that he would need to be subbed off before Richy, so if you want to only sub one player off subbing Richy instead of Son is going to be less effective.

You want to freshen up the CF position by putting a 31-year-old who played 70 minutes there, that is not as effective as subbing on a player from the bench.
 
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.
But that's exactly what Jordan said...

I wasn't aware that we were assuming that Son & Rich can't last a full 90mins......

.........But; you could still sub 2, just that it wouldn't be both Son & Rich in a single game.
 
Do you understand why this is far from ideal?

"FAR" from ideal?

........Not particularly.

As I already said; to my mind you tend to swap a CF for different attributes, not for fresh legs.

- Rich has not long turned 26; his legs should not be an issue.
- Son hasn't proved until now that stamina is a particular concern either.

Less games this season too.

He basically said £120 made from selling Mount and Havertz puts them in profit over spending £900m because reasons...

Whatever stupid loophole there is in FFP that allows them to cook the books, there's no way you can look at their business and try and claim they are making a profit with a straight face.

Even if they are managing to stay on the right side of FFP with their shenanigans, it can only be by a fine margin. You also have to ask yourself, if this is in any way a good idea, why aren't all clubs doing it (I mean with the absurd fees, I know all clubs are spreading their payments).

Boehly must think he's spotted an opportunity that no one else has, so I'm left to wonder, put all 20 people in charge of PL clubs in a room together, is Todd Boehly really the smartest of the bunch?

Finally, it seems that they are taking advantage to some extent of not having to abide by some of the rules as they're not in Europe, and PL rules are more lax. But surely the extra money he's gambling on getting long term is dependent on getting into Europe, which the spending they're doing to achieve that might also see them barred from said competitions.

It's absolutely mental, and surely unsustainable, but you just know those cunts will somehow land on their feet no matter what. Infuriating.
