Howay 12496 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Dr Gloom said: Isn’t it? I presumed it was based on yearly reporting periods. I think ewerk is right, I think as OTF says it’s more seen in terms of amortization so total price of transfer + wages over contract rather than when the cash is paid. The only timing thing I think would be if we did the loan with obligation to buy, that plays with the timing for FFP purposes as it doesn’t start the amortization on the transfer until the permanent deal takes effect. The club does seem to have some cash flow issues, which the loan is looking to address - it’s probably been discussed but these loans are common and I think get round rules to do with how cash is contributed in by ownership, or maybe also plays with FFP. The good thing is our side do look to be very savvy in terms of how they’re doing things with FFP, but don’t want to take the Man City approach of almost ignoring it then possibly fighting it.

Polarboy 2317 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Rumours that Leicester are in for Houssem Aouar off Lyon who some are assuming would be replacement for Maddison. Only a rumour at this stage though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2317 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 In fairness 50m for a player with two years left on his contract, who's possibly indicated the he's not overly excited about signing an extension, and with Leicester in need of cash, that's a more than fair offer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2317 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) It would be highly amusing if we got Maddison for around the 40m after Rogers' comments. I would assume they'd want it to be undisclosed if that were the case, but a transfer this high profile I doubt they'd be able to keep a lid on it.

wykikitoon 22612 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 If we got him, fuck me chicken nonce will be screaming blue murder and no doubt be wrigglng around how we got a loan to spend so the FFP limit increased and because Barry the season ticket holder gave Sandra a tip at this weekend's friendly thats reduced the VAT bill on a dozen eggs at the training ground.

You have to think we've had some encouragement from LCFC. If £40mil wouldn't buy 3/4 of his left leg we'd be wasting our time bidding "less than £45mil". Unless the £8mil they owe for Perez is on top of that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2317 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Romano's usually pretty accurate like. Seems like Werner is slipping away back to Leipzig, and Chelsea do supposedly want one of their players, so they could easily do business. Cornet would be very useful in terms of cover out wide and at centre forward, so I won't be that heartbroken if we get him instead of Werner.

Dr Gloom 23433 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Does anyone else find it a bit weird how much this is playing out in public with all the detail about our second bid leaked? Doesn’t seem our style, unless Leicester are trying to flush out other bidders. Edited August 1, 2022 by Dr Gloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
