Pretty sure PSR is profit and loss, not the balance of football transfers.
Not least because they are wishy-washy with how it is calculated, because the vast majority of the fees are paid and amortised over contract lengths, so each seasons "transfer" is not really accurate to a 3 year period of accounting.
Of course 'net spend' was a massively important figure when it was bias against the club, and kind of isn't brought up much now for the opposite reason (we've moved onto salary vs revenue these days...)
Going to be interesting to see how he does now that he's in the PL at long last.
Monitoring with a box of popcorns, nothing more
Totally ridiculous price for him, people quoting the same for Semenyo etc Bonkers
Football has gone mental.
Another thing with TFM (and pretty much any other such site) is that they don't include any of the after-purchase add-ons that are increasingly common with trfs.
Us plebs don't really have an especially accurate source of any of this stuff.... Even the published club accounts won't reflect anything player specific; just overall annual ins and outs under any one expense heading.
Agent probably gets another 5-10% of that fee on top too...... Ridiculous.
Mind you, if Man U didn't promise the player a 5 x payrise like the twats they are they might have a little more room to maneuver on the fee....... Mbeumo would have blatantly still signed for them (or us?) for £150kpw.
Wonder if Jim would go to £65,000,001...
I know a lot here dont like him but I think he's a good player. Had he started for United in the final they would have scored
I said a couple of weeks ago I reckon we will go for him.

Don't complain! It's a step up for 'showing an interest'. :nunothumb: Maybe we've enquired about the possibility of showing an interest?

The longer the window goes on the smaller his options appear and the price they can charge goes down. Sounds perfect for Levy. Plus, he has talent. Get him away from Man U and he will get even better.
If my granny had wheels she'd be a bus. NO JUST NO!!!
Profit and loss minus certain exempt expenses, most notably infrastructure investment.
It's fair enough I suppose, ideally we'd have more disclosure into the full picture.
Our inability to generate funds from outgoing transfers is just an echo of previous underinvestment though, it's a cycle.
