Fred(Signed for United)

[warpig]

He as immense against us. Hope we get him this window.

All we need in he summer is another forward option. Balloteli??

Haha yeah. Would get on like a hiuse in fire with Pep, pardon the pun

 

[chesterbells]

Except the rumour seems to be both coming this month

Yeah, let's see how it pans out.
A promising evening anyway, all round :-)

I thought we had about 60 million quid left re ffp?

How can we sign Laporte and Fred this month?

FFP is calculated on amortised fees (plus other expenses such as wages), I've no idea how much headroom we have but the reported fee and contract length will add about £10M per annum. We've also amortised Ottamendi, Debruyne and Ferns fees over a greater length by extending contracts, though presumably the rise in wages will offset that.

 

[Easy]

Would love to see him join in January!

Good points

These deals must be getting accelerated due to the mention of this FFP2.0, we aren’t taking any risks.

I think we're just getting the deals done before there's any competition in the summer. Pep said if we spend now we won't spend in summer.

The irony.

From the Red Cafe Fred thread.

Modmins said "freeze" and I got numb
Meh, another mercenary choosing Oil money over regular football.

It's so sad to see players sacrificing their game for Oil money.

That poster is funny as fuck. Hates us with a passion, I love it.

Just think of all the things you'll be able to do instead of spending every day refreshing the bloody transfer thread this summer - travel the world, write that novel. hell, you could even spend more time with the family, if there's nothing on the telly.

Or we could watch the world cup.
