General transfer rumours

What PSR problems? This year clears them of the huge window where they bought Isak amongst others in that £200m+ spend, they have money to spend.

They've secured CL revenue again, they've got a big stadium, they'll be securing new commercial deals to reflect their elevated status, they'll have money to spend and give their best players improved contracts. They're unlikely to go spunking £200m in a window again as it will restrict them over the next years but they arent penny pinching.

i think the next year clears them, no? Like they can spend more starting next season.

The summer they spent big on isak/gordon/batman and whoever else as of July 1st has gone been removed from future PSR calculations, so in theory they could at least spend that much again now.
 
Bayern Munich have resumed talks with Liverpool over a deal for forward Luis Diaz.The Bavarian club are yet to submit a second bid for the Colombian winger but remain keen on a deal, and are now in regular dialogue with Liverpool.The Athletic reported on July 15 that Show more
 
Leeds table more than £26m for Feyenoord's Igor Paixao. Marseille have failed to get their deal over the line up to now and United have swooped.Meanwhile, Perri is concluding his move in Germany. Fee expected to be £13.9m plus £1.7m in add-ons. #lufc
 
can’t take this seriously. Chelsea are stacked at this point and Juventus will probably demand 100M

In April, just hours after a humiliating 4–0 loss to Basel, Mendy was seen partying. That was the final straw for his coach: “After a 0–4, you just can’t do that in front of the fans,” Moniz fumed.


Who'd have guessed?

It's wages that are a huge issue.

They have Isak on £120k a week when he could easily get £300k elsewhere.

The same goes for Guimaraes who is becoming a £250k a week footballer. He is on £180k a week.

Same will go for players they want to bring in.

They don't revenue enough to up the wages of current players, spend big in the market and put the new signings on good wages. This is where PSR is an issue, because it's bottlenecked them.

They need the ability for their owner to bankroll the losses until they can attract the revenue needed.tk be sustainable.

Their wages to income ratio is at like 68%.

You're spot on with wages being a big issue for the teams wanting to push up into the elite category I think Newcastle have the tools to solve that problem though.

Stadium is big already and plans to get even bigger and the saudis wont have any trouble finding commercial deals.

being repeatedly involved in the champions league ups the revenues dramatically from participation, match day revenues and prize money but also opens up legitimate access to the big commercial deals.

I dont think they've gone mental handing out big wages for everybody in their recruitment they bought younger players that weren't established stars so im guessing their mean wages wont be that high which should give them wiggle room to offer their better players the big wages.

If that turnover/wage percentage is correct, 68% is a sensible,manageable figure that shouldn't see them struggle. Villa are the ones who have been in trouble every year for this and theirs is reportedly approaching the 90% mark.
 
Joao Felix to Saudi for the same as what they paid for him. Claimed this would happen when they signed him and here we are.

Was always just a way for them to use up the extra available allocation for PSR that was afforded to them from the one-off sale of the hotel and spread it across multiple years by buying players they intend to sell on.

They've basically made a roughly £10m book profit on his sale that they get to carry forward into this accounting year and will be factored into the next 3.

This is why Chelsea are buying so many players and why they will continue to do so despite the comments and ridicule about their squad. it's how they prevent PSR being a problem once the one time sale of the hotel/women's team are no longer in the calculations. .

Where are all those people that were adamant he would have been a great signing? I was dead against it from the off and somewhat worryingly, I think only the betting scandal put us off. Goes missing in the big games, a distinctly average player that occasionally does something a bit flashy.

Mate, he was playing for David Moyes at perennial relegation candidates WHU. He's a class football player, not God.

Against tougher opponents, he was exclusively played as a CDM, so it's understandable that his full array of skills weren't on show when he was busy chopping trees.

Internet speculation is that City would still be interested at £25m. As a 27 year old Rodri back up, with proven PL experience, I'd be open to the possibility if it could be proven the betting issue hasn't broken him mentally.

What's Rodri backup plan today? He's coming injury - he's not playing every minute. Nico G? Reijnders? Bernardo?
