Really? I'm surprised by this, Daniel James and Rodrigo are their record transfers at £26m.

Their net spend was ranked as 15th highest in England (over the past 5 years) as of 16 months ago.

However, Leeds' wiggle room for spending - before running into FFP limits - in January was surprisingly high though!

I can’t remember where I saw it but they had the highest net spend since covid and hadn’t sold a single player

Clearly the ffp rules are based off a different period

It's just incredibly difficult to run afoul of FFP. Consider that we were hemorrhaging at a terrifying rate, to the point where insolvency was a distinct possibility within a year or two without further debt facilities, and FFP was like "go on, make your record signing by some measure".

Has anyone ever been penalised; £ or points (suspended doesn’t count)?

Not to date. Prior to selling Richarlison, Everton was the one team that might've stood a chance, and that took an extraordinary effort. Guessing that the timing of his transfer will pretty well alleviate that, though; most teams run a fiscal year from July 1 - June 30, and his transfer is almost definitely booked on either the final day of FY 2022 or the first day of FY 2023, whichever helps them the most.

Leeds looks to have signed their Phillips replacement with a 30m player from Salzburg

I know they are getting loads of money in from Phillips and Raphinha but surely their books aren't balances. They have sold no one for I think 3 years now and spent 200m (and I believe this doesn't count this summer's purchases). I don't get it. Everton are apparently on the brink of FFP issues (and Leeds even made a complaint towards the end of the season). How can they not be? Some weird loophole due to not being in the premier league for all of the seasons ?

Seems crazy to me how much they spend - it is more net than anyone in world football

30m seems to be their happy place. How? who knows but at least they seem to get bugger all for it.
 
There is a lot to be said for signing batches from the same group.

- Those clubs clearly put a lot into their scouting and youth development using close to unlimited resources
- They will have been trained in the same system and style
- They are likely to be friends or at least know each other well helping both team cohesion and the chance of recruiting others

Man City will probably see it as a vindication of their approach as well.

I doubt we’d be able to get all three of palmer, McAtee and Delap as the only one i’d expect to have even a marginal chance of permanent on is Delap, leaving just one loan slot

Re: my point 3 - someone wrote somewhere that Colwill is friends with Simeu and Tino.

Interesting that the other Chelsea links have gone quiet. I expect due to the changeover. I know we were strongly linked with Anjorin and there are people out there who think we are interested in Vale. The latter seems like another who is a loan at best because they have actually used him. But you never know with Chelsea

So in someways a waste of time? I suppose it could be argued & say it’s keeping clubs within the limits / guidelines?

two right backs linked now, I thought we might be tempted to stick out with Valery whilst Tino was injured, but if we can get a talented player in then it’s good forward planning, because if KWP has another stellar season we might struggle to keep hold of him.
