    So the whole cost of his 2 year contract is basically 7m, how much would a transfer fee have been if he'd been under contract

    It started earlier than that, in my opinion, mate. Just think back to the late 80s and early 90s with Serie A, the money in Italian football then meant they could buy most players they wanted and even a relative failure could be set for life after a couple of years there, relative to today. The "three foreigners" rule that was in place at the time probably reduced the damage, but just think the AC Milan has Gullett, Van Basten and Rijkaard as their backbone. Inter had Klinsmann, Bremhe and Matthaus, Lazio had Karl Heinze Riedle and Ruben Sosa, Roma had Voller and Thomas Berthold. It just forced other teams in other leagues to spend more, if the could afford it, as Italy was comfortably the strongest and wealthiest league in the world from the late 80s to mid 90s. Other leagues just copied and took it further, especially the EPL.

    They’ll con their way out of a sanction again, sell their women’s team or something.

    Unless Barrenechea is still there, would take him

    Most opposition clubs know the owners for what they are, it's all sports washing and trying to buy titles and publicity for their wider agenda. Not to mention their fans constantly shouting about how they are the richest club (clerb?) in the world and how PSR isn't fair.

    I do believe there is a "Saudi Tax" when it comes to them but it's not surprising at all. What is surprising is that their fans find it surprising, the relatively normal ones anyway.

    I wish we had some links to a right winger haha. I’m intrigued about the strikers we are going to look at too. Seems Garcia isn’t leaving Madrid now. Vanat has gone a bit quiet. I wouldn’t mind a taller striker with some aerial ability

    Aye 2 important signings as we need to have goals across the front line to mount a proper effort.

    I really would love Mayenda to start against West Ham but I do think we are gonna sign a more high profile type of striker by the sounds of it.

    I’d really love Terem Moffi myself or even Mo Bamba

    Wouldn't be against Tammy Abraham either

    I'm still sort of hoping we move for Fisnik Asllani, talks to renew him past 2026 have stalled a bit.

    It will be interesting if we go for a younger profile like him, garcia, kilicsoy or someone a bit older

    Thats one down, youve got 2 lives remaining.

    And I can't see us pursuing Moffi as he hasnt started a game since a pretty bad ACL tear.
