They've certainly been playing funny buggers with other clubs to all get round PSR but that wage bill... That's gonna sting at some point.

It has already, they've already sold 3 key players over the last 2 windows (Luiz, Diaby, Duran) They were looking to sell Watkins as well.

That method is all well and good but it takes some really smart signings and a huge dose of luck if you really want to progress, I think that method doesn't break the top 4 consistently though, also they have a really good coach too.

They were already running at 92% wages to turnover even before this window.

No, they were 92% last season. CL this season brings in a big spike, especially to Villa with 40k capacity. It’s also clearly a speculate to accumulate strategy, gambling on making Europe again, going further in the CL and the associate commercial uplifts that likely brings.

Bet next accounts it’s dropped to 80% max. Still obscene, but, they can send Rashford and Asensio back and have banked £70m odd from Simon LeBon.

Simon LeBon?

CL or not, they are on tight line for PSR. I suppose Duran got them out the shit.

Kid is free to make whatever decision, it's his career, his life. Totally understand him rejecting us...who'd wanna join this mad mess, shitty owner/chairman not interested in winning, joke manager, bang average squad.

Yeah United been lols for years too...but they still won trophies. Crazy history, PL titles galore, CL wins. They pay sick wages. Amorim will do great once he has his squad the way he wants it.

Booing the kid at the Lane would be darn stupid. Wolves fans have got a far more legit right to boo Danso...

Wish our owners had their their levels of riskiness. We might be better than 15th!

Why are 3 people liking this nonsense? What is described above is simply a loan - how does it differ from a loan if no one has any clause that forces the other side to do something?

If we have a buy option, then the parent club DOES have an obligation to sell to us at the pre-agreed price (other conditional clauses not withstanding), that's the whole point of the 'buy option' clause. Sorry but what's written above is utter nonsense. It's one thig having one person make a mistake, but 3 others liking it is just bizarre.

I agree but isn’t it up to the player at the end of the day ?

I don’t know how it works but if we have an option to buy & the player doesn’t want to then what happens ?

When you buy young players you are backing the club. When you buy established players for now you are backing the current coach.

If Ange is still here in 2 years time then he was backed in these last 2 windows with the young players we bought but you also have to say that these young players came here because of conversations with Ange and his willingness to trust them with minutes, so it's not as clear cut as that. Ange has basically said he's prepared to gamble his short term survival on trusting an unusually high number of teenagers in his squad.

Completely agree. If this comes off, it's a brave play and will be a premium [insert latest streaming platform] redemption arc min-series.

Another 19 year old. I suppose some deluded fans still believe Ange has something to do with Transfers. What's worse, he predominantly plays on the wing. We really needed a Winger more than ........ a CDM? There was a reason BM played him mostly as a sub. They have, more experienced, better players.

Shows how ambitious we are. We've bought a whole lot of youngsters (Granted with potential) from clubs who saw those youngsters as surplus. Spurs has become nothing but 'The Surplus Store.

Another Shit Transfer Window. Don't expect much change this season .
