We could get Sanchez in January for £20m or on a loan. Either way we are in a comfortable financial position. If Vinny gets injured we can also go back for JFE or someone better in January. We don't need to make any panic buys. We'll know the answer to these questions after December 12 (when we play the rags and know the outcome of our CL group)

I think the latter is the case, the transfer window is not necessarily the only time we can spend and perhaps we are budgeting for the next window or maybe our ADUG bosses are more interested in personal reward by making the P and L look good rather than spending everything ?
Can´t blame them if that´s the case.

Perhaps we just decided that it was worth a net payment of £7m to sell Mangala and buy Evans, but not worth £30m to buy Evans while keeping Mangala.

PSG passing FFP depends on the French Revenue excepting that 50% of Neymar's and Mbappe's wages are paid at 0% tax as "Ambassadors for the 2022 World Cup." Much like Image rights it won't wash with the French tax authorities as PSG and the Qatar World Cup are owned by the same parent company - i.e. Qatar.
That said they will have a couple of years to sort out alternative finance till the bill is due. It will be interesting to see how UEFA back date the increased wage spending mind.
Oh I forgot they aren't Manchester City so nothing will happen.

(I tried re-locating the articles on how Neymar's salary was structured but all I could only find was page after page of Salary per second/minute/hour/day/month/year tickers.)

Agreed.
The maths of any deals must add up to value when they depend on each other.

Pretty sceptical about that report. Seems to be based on a tweet from a journalist with about 3000 followers. If UEFA really were investigating us again it would be widely reported in the mass media. The likes of Ben Rumsby and Rob Harris wouldn't be able to contain their glee. Nothing to see here.

I take it back:

 

[HelloCity]

We brought in around £90 million in player sales, meaning our net spend was only around £120 million.

Wankers just pissed off they can't steal everyone's players anymore.

Sounds to me like Messi is coming in January.........


To the transfer forum

 

[blueinsa]

So as soon as Barca lose a player and Real Madrid can't afford their next shiny new toy it's not fair and someone isn't playing by the rules.

Fuck em!!!

'Spanish Soccer League'
Harris sounds a real football man.
