It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

Of course there is, the premier league has it’s own set of financial fair play regulations

The PL ffp is virtually nonexistent, it mostly refers to paying clubs and players on time.

The only major restriction was the increase in wages year on year but they relaxed that massively.

Not sure barca offering us a packet of opal fruits and half a loaf of bimbo bread is going to be enough for grealish

I’ve heard that Barcelona president Joan Laporta, has been seen buying a bag of magic beans at the Boqueria Market.
Maybe he’s hoping to exchange said beans for a number of our players.

I can just imagine Sheikh Mansour, and Khaldoon, rubbing their hands whilst dancing around the palace in uncontrollable excitement. Chanting magic beans, magic beans, magic beans!

This Grealish hoopla makes a lot more sense now. All for a rebuild, this last season was a grind.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Saul plays as a pivot now, he’s more defensive than attacking, aggressive in a tackle and wins the ball back a lot. But I don’t understand swapping a attacking player in Bernardo for a defensive one in Saul

Because we want to sign Grealish?

 

[DMA's]

Can’t remember a summer there was so much uncertainty around so many players at our club.

Bernardo wants out
Laporte wants out
sterling 2 years left if Doesn’t sign new contract we will look to sell
gundogan rumours Barca have talked to his agent
mahrez same rumours Barca have talked to his agent
fern still not signed or left
jesus apparently unhappy with playing time
aguero gone

Obviously we won’t lose all of the above but I can’t remember last time we had so many player seemingly open to leaving.

The door swings both ways though, because for anyone who wants to leave, there would be plenty wanting to come and fill those spaces.

 

[Sky Blue]

I know money talks but I very much doubt Mahrez would go for that idea.

He goes on in interviews about Leicester taking a couple of years away from him at the top level.

He holds himself in high regard so I doubt he would join them at the start of their journey even if we wanted him out.

Recently said he's very happy here. One of our better players last season so hope he stays.

 

[come-on-barney]

The rules do allow wiggle room for new owners.

They also aren't in Europe, so wouldn't be assessed straight away.

We can't underestimate Saudi investment, certainly when it comes to buying the next tier of player to make them competitive.

I agree it can’t be ignored, and it will improve them immensely from where they are now. Just will be a lot harder.

Kun's mate is relentless. Gundogan, Mahrez, Laporte, Sterling, Jesus, Bernardo.... Have I missed anyone?

Apparently, Janice the tea lady, does a delicious churros and hot chocolate.
