Look, I’m not a “Levy is Beelzebub” camp but this should be his chance to shine. Everyone else is fucked by PSR/FFP, We’ve got huge FFP margins, are now one of the most profitable clubs in Europe and will be for the foreseeable and are fucking miles behind the top 2/3 teams. We have one of the lowest salary to turnover ratios in the league.
I still don’t expect a Chelsea-easque 1bn spending spree, but this is a genuine opportunity to close the gap. Make 3/4 really good signings whilst others are hamstrung.
If ever there was a time to just nudge the riskometer up from 10% to 40% this is definitely it imo.
No mate, had absolutely no idea this happened at all
No idea. I just felt we'd take that approach and that CP might listen as it helps them keep their tax bill down.
If Guehi is off as well though, I think CP will dig their heels in, otherwise they'll have pitchforks at the door for selling off all the Crown jewels.
We'll have to wait and see, but I'm not confident they'll get CP to agree any terms other than "meet the asking price all upfront or do one."
Having said that, it's no excuse. As has already been posted on here, we can take out a loan and pay that in installments. I doubt the interest would tally more than what we'd have to pony up, over and above the release clause, to get them to agree with staggered payments.

Im late but what’s everyone thinking about this?
Seems like BS from Mendes to me. Try to get more out of us in agency fees
I agree just adding some fan perspective!
Armstrong is one of those who scores in the champ but hardly ever in the prem lge . Overall at Soton he is 1 in 4 which isn’t great for a striker. Over 2 season in the prem, 53 games and 4 goals.
I think Veliz will get quite a few games. Up to him to get stuck in.
I don't think Woody and Leds barely played with each other tbf, especially the 2nd half of that season, various injuries etc. They were both a bit patched up for that final, but were immense. Shows what we could have had if they were more fit than not. ☹
Is this guy reliable?
They only have Bernardo Silva, Foden, Kayky, Oscar Bobb, Benjamin Knight and Savio already in that RWF position

Because FFP is a myth used to keep small clubs from competing, not rich ones from spending.
He covers woolwich, so he's a cunt.
Smart choice by Vavel getting the same writer to cover both South London clubs, though.
But if any team loves hoarding players (other than Chelsea), it is City.They only have Bernardo Silva, Foden, Kayky, Oscar Bobb, Benjamin Knights and Savio already in that RWF position
And they literally just brought Savio in this summer. There is no way in a million years City are chasing Neto.They only have Bernardo Silva, Foden, Kayky, Oscar Bobb, Benjamin Knights and Savio already in that RWF position
I'm hearing murmurings in my local pub that Veliz to Southampton will bring Alcaraz the other way
Ah yes the local pub source.
Probably not a bad shout though because we were linked earlier in the summer.
