Exactly how I feel. I was bored to tears at times last year and take away the loan players I was not impressed by too many of our squad. Clearing the decks and bringing in a fresh manager and squad is exactly what I hoped for. As someone just said, Acun could not face looking like a failiure here. There will be plenty of decent players coming in, hopefully ones Tim asked for and thinks he can gel into an attractive top 8 team.
His goals masked a lot of his flaws. He wasn’t the quickest so couldn’t run the channels. He couldn’t hold up the ball. He was a very good poacher and that’s about it.
Not exactly, it is one of the spam accounts financed by Fener president. All 3 big clubs have those to support their agenda.
I can't understand to an extent, but jesus some people are really going overboard and trying to make mountains out of mole hills.... If we just signed players, they'd complain they weren't the right calibre, if we splashed out, we'd be being reckless, if we'd turned down bids for tufan, it'd been daft because we'd kept a player who wanted to go and could have ( potentially) gone on a free next summer. Everyone with any realism knew Greaves and Philo weren't sticking around, we're getting good money and an decent sell on % so all in all it's a decent deal..... People honestly just need to relax, let things happen and stop wetting the bed FFS
With this speed entire first 3 months of season will be like: We are a new team, it takes time to gel players.
Wonder if it’s the same ffp loophole that premier league teams are exploiting, by buying junior players for £20m which is spread over 4 years for ffp, but selling a similar status player for a similar fee to same club which immediately frees up that fee as it’s profit? Can we expect us to be buying a Boro player in the next few days? Or has Acun discovered another loophole? He’s not daft, he’s upto something.
The Giles situation is totally bizarre, either we want him or we don't. All I can think of is that we haven't paid Luton a penny for him yet and M'Boro and Giles agent have got wind of it. And what's happened to Will Jarvis? Has the new manager even seen him yet? Will he be on the plane to Turkey, because the way it's going there will be plenty of spare seats.
When you sell a player you can no longer amortise their cost, so the full £4m would have to be shown as an expense this year
I know, as I said they are financed by clubs to support their agenda, I have to re-iterate for objectivity, all 3 big clubs do it. I am not only talking about context of transfers related to Hull, usually you will see those accounts posting same exact sentence after a referee mistake or important event happened. In Turkey people call them "whatsapp group accounts", since all of them sourcing from same place and triggered with a command and Yellow is a known one. Social media has huge influence on Turkish community, so all companies/clubs even member of parliaments are created such fake/parody accounts to support their agenda. A backlash in social media can even change court decisions, sometimes in a good way, sometimes bad. Once a parliament member opened a live stream while he was in parliament discussion to complain about opposition, from his fake account with a girl name. So yeah this example explain what I am trying to tell I guess. So you have to be careful, they might be parody, they might wanna just create attention and engagements, or they might trying to force someone (in this case Acun) to do something, or they might be testing water for a transfer, which is suitable to this case.
Interesting we signed Giles before the June 30th cut off. I suspect that’s part of it to spread the cost into last years books
Would that maybe explain the rumours of a loan with a view to a permanent as it would allow us to amortise the deal we've been obligated to follow through on and knock having to deal with the sale and cost going in to the figures down the line a bit? I assume the bit we're trying to figure out is the loan fee? Get 500k now and 3.5mil next summer when it gets made a perm? Not 100% up to speed with FFP btw.
He's signed for us for free? We had to sign him for a pre-agreed fee under the loan arrangement. The player would rather go to Middlesboro. They wouldn't/couldn't match the terms we gave Luton to take him there direct, so we're in this situation. It'll be interesting to see how the deal ends up being structured to maximise what we can recoup, but I'd be very pleasantly surprised if we're in profit by the end of the saga.
Just had a quick skim over today’s pages. Have to say, I’m a little disappointed not to get any clues on incomings. I mean, it’s great that the club are keeping things under wraps, but give us something!
Here’s a clue, it’s a football player, at least one, who has played football for a football team, somewhere! If I say anymore, it’s going to give the game away!
If you do a deal with a club, then do the same deal in reverse on another player with that club, then there is no profit.
