They have 300m incoming this summer, may be dodgy source (Saudi) but it helps with the ffp as the 1bn is spread over 8 years
I thought the 8 year loop-hole was shut last season.......?

This season I believe but regardless most of the money they have spent is under the last regime
Serious question : why aren't football clubs catching heat over accepting Saudi blood money as transfer fees?

By regime I meant being allowed to amortize, I'm tired.Nah; it's Boehly spend.......... Not Roman.
Since the beginning of last season:
€818m out
€320m in (about €70-80m of which has come from Saudi)
They actually turned €30m negative spend in Roman's last season.
Same reason golf, boxing, formula 1 etc don’t get heat for taking their money. Nor does the UK government mind selling arms to the Saudis.Serious question : why aren't football clubs catching heat over accepting Saudi blood money as transfer fees?

This is the world we live in.
Do we have any idea what the final fee is going to be?
Close to £30m apparently
Crazy he would go there if he's not going to be number one. Why not just run down his deal
Why didn't Brentford just accept our offer the first time around? morons
Raya for 30m is better than Vicario for 20m for sure. Not that I think either transfer will end up having a big impact on either teams' final position, but Brentford are fucking morons.
I don’t suppose we can wait until Vicario has played a handful of meaningful matches before we make that determination?
I'm not saying he will turn out the better signing in the long run, I'm just saying it's a better deal in terms of value. There's a reason we wanted Raya in the first place.I don’t suppose we can wait until Vicario has played a handful of meaningful matches before we make that determination?
Based on what?
