    It's two solid sources saying we are after him now, however if he's unimpressed he can chew on Mayenda's foot

    You are right, nothing is guaranteed and every signing is a risk but we have to trust the club to know what they are doing - they haven't done bad so far have they :emoticon-0105-wink:

    No as they have added more about him being unimpressed and how Roma want to sell him by the 30th and that we are the likely destination.

    The first link we got about him was just that we were interested

    oh okay. Sounds more concrete than I’d like!! Not keen on him at all even if we do need another left back.

    No real surprise when the Saudi’s have been in for him. They’ll have offered mega contracts

    Just remembered I joked a couple of weeks ago that Speakman would need to outsource the selling of players as he’d have too much on his plate for incomings :D. was a throw away comment but maybe indeed they will split that somehow with the new guy

    Never been impressed personally. How much, maybe overvalued due to this french u21 team rep.

    The impact of any spending is reduced by the amortisation, totally agree with you. If our average contract length is 4 years, and our 24-25 season profit is say 10 mil (no idea if this correct or not, but to illustrate a point), you would have to spend 40 mil to take our 25-26 profit to nil. I might be mistaken, but I think we are incentivised to try and get our deals done before the end of this month where possible. Guess it depends on the selling clubs tho, and when they want to put through the deal

    I know very little about him so my opinion shouldn’t be taken seriously but I don’t think he’s good enough defensively to play for a relegation threatened side

    It's about €34m, but that's what it was pre u21s as he has a release clause.

    Yeah it’s a question of the definition of the amortisation period. If it’s true contract length then it makes little difference (since the contract will be 4 years plus a tiny little bit extra). I’d always assumed that was how it worked since people always talk about ‘amortised over the length of the contract’. If it’s is defined without accounting periods, though - and you’re either in one or not - then there’s definitely be an incentive to do them early. Technicalities that I have little idea of though!

    He is coming across as a bit of a mercenary if that report is to be believed, no thanks
