Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours thread

Because if they dont you come 2nd quite a ****ing lot.

City have done about 500m on defenders since pep arrived

Klopp got konate and that ginger kid since vvd.

Fsg cannot and will not fund the club and they shoukd fuxk the fuxk off imo

 

if the British tax.man had half the balls of the Spanish one then city might be in a lot.more trouble due to payments under thr table that have not been taxed

but hey.

 

Anyway chaps ill leave it there as not that arsed about a long drawn out debate over it.

I barely watch football outside of Saints now anyway so makes no difference to me really. I'm just hoping for the bubble to burst but I don't see it happening sadly.

Enjoyed the debate though. Nice one

 

where as i think clubs should be as self sufficient as possible

 

In an ideal world they would be

In the real world money talks and tight yank ****s comes 2nd

 

I know we've just lopped off over £1m a week of our wage bill. CBA looking it up again, but I believe we're about two-thirds down the league in the wages-to-earnings table: last time I looked, Leicester and Everton were joint top of that pile, and it didn't seem to be going that well for them.

 

Underrated classic - reminds me I was young once.

 

We now have the smallest squad in the prem.

But im sure fsg will back klopp with major funds as promised after a disaster of a season last year, which again was caused by a lack of squad improvement, you know cos they always do.

 

Banger

 

not quite think it is about £850 once the new signings are taken into account

 

better line is why FSG are so reluctant to let the club take on debt to fund transfers when they have made such a huge capital gain on the club .

 

I accidentally deleted it and couldn’t be arsed typing it again

 

£850k?

 

cos. debt is bad, k?

 

Prefer this line

 

these are all first World problems.

 

I still don't know how Chelsea ran up a £1.5bn debt with Abramovich - and were allowed to simply write it off when he was forced to sell the club. So - bear with me on this - in a parallel universe where FSG are not parsimonious tight-arses - what would stop them running up £2bn of debt on players' transfers, thus adding £2bn of value to the club, then forming a shell company that buys FSG from themselves at a £2bn+ inflated price (say £6bn), and then that debt is not, evidently, subject to FFP?

Now, is that not, in a way, what Chelsea has done?

 

And that would be a good thing?

 

If you look back, we did this last night, but Diego ended all discussion by 'proving' net spend doesn't count. Unless it suits his argument, apparently.

 

it.wasnt real debt. it was loans converted to fake equity by abramovich.

cheslea never had to live in the real.world.of business since 2004

you are asking American business men to somehow invent money like an pup doper or Russian stooge.

it's all fine until someone has to pony up the actual cash in the end.
