Perhaps, but perhaps he is setting out his expectations in public in order to drawn a line in the sand for the club to deliver for him. The results and upturn in some player’s performances have been excellent since he arrived. He deserves to be backed. If it’s not possible for the club to back him as he stated publicly then I’m sure he would have known before speaking out.

No guarantee he signs a Bosman with us though. If he is willing to sign now and we pay a fee perhaps the player is willing only under those circumstances. Regardless there will be other players if this one doesn’t work out.

Another stupid rumour someone’s made up unseen on Twitter is Glen Kamara going to an unnamed European club for 10 million. Don’t believe that.

Frustratingly the US based companies are buying up clubs all over Europe (standard liege being another good example funnily enough). The more clubs they buy the more say they have in how the game is run. Especially when they are buying multiple clubs and following a 'city group' or red bull model. Actually painful thinking about the direction football is headed.

They will get nothing for him if he leaves in 6 months and they need to keep paying him. Its madness. I'd take 2 million and a sell on right now for Morelos who will play for us. Its a totally unreasonable ask. Dont even think they have anything to play for in the league either.

Indeed. It makes a complete mockery of ffp when a business that a club owner has can inject a massive amount of capital via something innocuous like stadium naming rights or a random crypto partnership like Mbappe mysteriously got around the same time he signed his new psg deal. As with everything it’s one rule for the haves and another for the have nots.

That’s always going to be the case for us in this backwater of a league.

Yeah but ultimately we have to be self sustainable anyway. The director loans need to stop. We need to focus on Europe progress and player trading to balance the books and fund anything. I dont think this watch list is a concern given our recent accounts trajectory.

Yes due to board support during covid. This has passed and we should be fine moving forward. Especially as we have sold 45 millions worth of players and managers since then. Happy to be corrected if that’s wrong.

His agent is, on a Bosman. No chance imo he has been poor for a while and other leagues like Italy have non eu player restrictions which means any non eu player has to be worth it.

I've seen rumours that Liverpool have around 20% of any profit we make on Kent. So if we signed him now to a new 4 year deal and sold him this time next year for £20 million (number picked out the air) Liverpool get £2.6 million of it. The story goes Brighton were due an extra payment if Goldson renewed for us which is why his renewal went the way it did. IIRC Helsinki are in for 10% of any profit we make Morelos too. But yes your night that some of the cash fees involved are negligible (in my eyes anyway) but perhaps there is method behind the madness somewhere.

Same, I'm more concerned with if he does too good here he wont want to come back as he'll have suitors elsewhere.

Even just the look of him screams nonce. your quote of the spotlight tweet mentions a chap called Martin Henry. https://footballtaxhavens.wordpress.com/2019/10/19/martin-hendry-sfa-review-into-football-child-abuse-chairman-roles-at-lgbt-youth-which-he-founded-with-james-rennie-paedophile-and-rc-church-compromise-any-sfa-report/

It would be logical to investigate who at the sfa seen fit to appoint this chap Martin Henry to perform this investigation and what justification they had to have him do it over someone else. But this is Scotland where the truth gets buried.

Comes across well from that. Impressed.

It is 100%. Swansea recalled the player to sell. They could have negotiated without recalling the player if they weren’t sure a buyer could meet expectations. And the boy would keep playing and developing elsewhere. I’d expect him to be our player before the end of the window and I think he will do well for us. I am liking the profile of the players we are targeting. We need to get away from spending on guys with no resale value.

Flowing locks, cant wait to see him strut his stuff in a blue jersey.

Finally. Any mention of how long he has signed for? I notice no fee mentioned. We really dont like giving out any info

Home draw against lower league opponents, normal service resumed.

Connor for me. Slim pickings again.

Lundstram has been pretty much anonymous. Not sure how he is finishing this game. Referee has been woeful.
