You don’t understand the basic economic principle of inflation if you think we made a “tidy profit”

You don’t understand football accounting. The profit booked is actually £47.6m in the accounts of it’s a £55m deal.

 

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

You don’t understand player amortisation, and the value of trophies if you don’t. In the end only the trophies matter , not the big we made a big profit badge to wear in the playground,

Complete different market today than when we bought him. He helped us win trophies and played well so was worth the money but to claim that we made a “tidy profit” is bullshit.

You don't understand the basic principle of common sense.

Come back when you've actually figured out the books on this deal.

for me you need more than one good season to be respected and also taking the piss out of the club will harm is exit

Take the last season up with pep,if he is hardly played for a year why would he stay,he is right to be pissed off

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Oh for fucks sake.

just listen to Liverpool. From klopp to players to fans, they all rate him so, so highly. Literally the difference maker in games where the opponents are good enough to not camp in their box.

I’d have him over any player in our squad today except KDB. There’s good reason we didn’t compete for the prem this year and he’s a large reason.

 

[Kokonut1307]

No we dont,we are not a selling club ,sane is the only one in twelve years that we wanted to keep,we have a policy of having players in their peak years then we let them do what they want ,it is respectful,will you cry when Sergio goes home rather than us sell him because that is going to happen,why do I need to explain the way we work to another blue?

Not like we let Sancho, Boateng, Tevez, and plenty of more players walk for practically nothing to rival big clubs. Even players who see as surplus we cant get a decent price for them. Other teams manage it miles better than us.

 

[discopop]

The only mistake the club have made is that they probably cashed in last summer as the mood music was he wanted out, I get we really wanted to sign a new contract but sometimes you just have be pragmatic. Then the injury and Covid outbreak have stuffed us but if Martin Blackburn is correct then we have probably just about got what we could.

 

[blueparrot]

So where are the moaners now

Still here, it would take at least £70 mill to keep them happy.

 

[domalino]

£60m is a great fee in the circumstances.

It's very impressive how we got £70m.


(No offence TH but it seems the fee is going up every 5 minutes)

 

[hertsblue]

We wont but after the deal is done the club should release a statement about how unprofessional Munich are with the blatant tapping up
