Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours thread

I think this chesela ploy will be found out.

not by authorities par se but in 2 or 3 years time when half those they buy are total flops but they have to be written off the books. it only works if they are amortised over the period. big losses are not sustainable so the 55mil on 4 "kids" has to be paid back from loans and sales over time.

 

Basketball and Ice Hockey pretty physically demanding too... But they switch players out regularly. I'm in my 40's and not a pro athlete, but even I can maintain high levels of activity for 10 mins at a time.

 

if we look at this, jimmy anderson can do 16.6 overs a day today as a 40+ in test cricket bowling in his style with a long run up and do that for 2 or 3 days depending o nwhats needed. he would not play 35 games but he's get say 7 tests x 3 = 21.


henderson at 33 cannot play even 1 game a week by the looks of it now.

 

It's the asthma inhalers causing early aging.

Don't do drugs! Stay in school!

 

Rumour is Chelsea want rid of Sterling already!!

 

¥5 million cheeky bid?

 

jake cain permanent sale to Swindon.

had a decent loan a year or so ago and then got a strop after not going on preseason and being not let go on another loan.

Best of luck to him

some of the more.... well need to be heard type of hacks, specifically Romano are gambling on a buy and sticking their neck out and rumouring klopp has asked for a purchase..

 

In transfer news around the league
Bournemouth spend £20m on someone nobody outside of France has heard of
Villa spend £18m on an American teenager
Wolves buy a PSG reject for £4.4m (thats a pretty good deal imo)

 

Is he Portuguese?

 

Not this time Spanish, Its Sarabia

 

klopp's comments suggest he really doesn't expect to get anyone in.

perhaps unless someone goes out.

that tricky 17 foreign players in the prem squad thing.

Arthur is a millstone lol

 

Can't really go by what he says though, he always says no one is joining

 

I liked klopps press conference. Honest with how things are. Not denying that we may need players but also not saying he’s too loyal.

Reference point fact that if we bring players in we still have others in the squad and have a PL and CL limit… think it’s what said numerous times. All well and good saying bring players in, but we have a lot of players who just aren’t pulling their weight in the squad and taking up valuable space.

Not ruling out signings, but think we are just waiting for Keita adrian ox Milner to go and free up room.

 

klopp's saying they can't buy.

 

Would you spend anymore if you were about to sell the club?

 

the about to part is the question.

a) how soon is about to?
b) will not buying end up decreasing the price i get?
c) how will buy be done? my money or loans?

this is like mike cashely not selling Newcastle cos they went down. he held on to parachute payments and got back up then invested a small amount in staying up.

not being top 4 is the equivalent of relegation for us given our wages will require revenue to pay them. theres no parachute payments for us so i doubt there are many no cl = reduced wage clauses either.

if they are about to sell then i would expect klopp to not be talking about the summer. i don' think a deal is imminent despite qatari rumours. i don't think utd or spurs rumours are also founded in much fact that anything would be done this side of the season ending.

Therefore i move on to the question that not spending now will decrease the clubs valuation, 100mil now on a laon v losing at least that much in revenue PLU having to spend the same in the summer.

For me this all goes back to when. I cannot se a sale mid season as no new owner really wants to take control not knowing what season 1 looks like. If we were out of CL then the price for club drops. if we are in it then its all guns blazing. You could be forced to pay for a cl club and find yourself with one in nothing with a 100mil hole in revenue to find.

that said anyone stupid enough to apy 4bil or whatever should be able to afford that.

 

You don't want to buy mid summer either or you end up like Chelsea and just buy random players without a plan cause they're available.

There is no good time to buy a football club. And actually mid-season isn't the worst, so long as you know the club is unlikely to be relegated you can plan for next.
As you say the people looking to buy at 4billion wont care about wage bill or dropping revenues if its for one season.

And if you think about it we're an easier and quicker project than Newcastle, Man City or even the old Chelsea were

 

FSG don’t spend anything. All the business we do is with the clubs own money
