I'd be surprised if the club was paying off loans that are on a low, fixed rate whilst they are still mid-term. They're on an interest only basis costing no more than 6 or 7% of turnover, so I would reckon that the additional investment is mainly/exclusively for the South Stand development (hotel and apartments, etc.) and the additional training facilities (women's...NFL...?) being built on that nice bit of land next to the golf course.
Yes...I think that is right. Any additional capital investment is going to be hard to fund through loans but will ne good for revenue in the longer term. However, a new owner with unlimited funds would have the option of paying off the loans and removing the covenant which would then allow a Chesea style spending splurge.
Dan KP says we have a recall clause in Phillips’ loan. I’m sure the lad will love being pulled from regular starts to sit on the bench every week until van de Ven or Romero return.
THST did an analysis of a single year...can't find it now... which suggested R turned out about 1.75.
Sounds like Yang could be training with us in the next 12-24 hours. Left Seoul Monday night. "I am excited to be joining the club. It would be an honour to play with Son and I would be grateful for that opportunity," Yang told reporters at Incheon International Airport in Seoul. "I have pictured myself in that situation. I can't wait to get there and show people what I am capable of, and have a chance to play next to him in the same match." "I'd like to get into a match before the season ends, and hopefully score a goal or get an assist," Yang said. "Because I am joining the team in midseason, I've been focusing on rest and recovery, so that I will stay healthy going forward. "Personally, I feel that I am ready [for Premier League debut]. I'll put on a good performance there and I hope fans will continue to support me."
Fluminense President, Mário Bittencourt, admits Fluminense's interest in signing Tottenham’s Richarlison “What we have concrete today is that we express our formal interest in Richarlison. We know he's interested in returning to the National Team. I have a great relationship with him and I brought him back there as vice president of football. We made the first document to the English club, asking about the possibility of negotiating” ————————————— Please let this have substance! We won’t get anywhere near what the Saudi’s were offering but getting him out will help clear one of the final bits of deadwood in this squad.
We should start a petition. I reckon we'd easily get 100,000 signatures and then parliament has to debate the benefits of Richarlison returning to Fluminese. I've rarely been this excited about a piece of transfer news. This could be huge.
It won't have substance because there isn't the money in Brazil's Serie A to make it happen And it's not like there's much room for them to get the price down with player exchanges either, considering Fluminese's current key players are a damning indictment of the quality of the league when their key player is Ganso of all people ...that being said, there is one potential player trade in their squad: their 18 year old striker Kaua Elias does have several traits which could fit in with Angeball, but not to the degree that we should happily knock £15m off a valuation
Lyon are apparently in the sights of Ligue 1's FFP rules and need to sell in January Maxence Caqueret would be a very useful player to have at the base of our midfield while Georges Mikautadze could be an interesting option up front, though don't rule out the trolling potential of signing Ainsley Maitland-Niles...
Any DM would, given they don't tend to switch off when we don't have the ball Capoue being the reason I have to specify this...
Technically he's been permanently switched off seeing as he's been benched for almost two months now for a 36 year old Matic and an Aston Villa flop. Add in a guy that's backup to Lacazette and the final one on your list being an Arsenal reject... I mean these all scream Everton targets.
