Transfers, 2024-25 season

We have to be very careful.

I think it's pretty clear that we are inflating player prices to make the margins better for all teams. Because Minteh and Anderson do not have such a high real value today. And surely Vlachodimos won't have it either, whatever its price.

And that could also lead to a gap in standards.

It is a practice that they have been doing for years in Italy and that has already been investigated in recent times (And in fact, it cost Juventus a loss of points this year because they had a lot of operations like this between 2018 and 2021).

If it is something specific, I understand that there will be no problem...

Liverpool signs Carroll for £32m was it and they're paying a lot for potential of a great forward.


Forest pay £35m or BHA pay £35m and its dodgy :lol: 


Carroll had scored 30 goals for us in his last 1.5 seasons tbf

Does this mean our interest in Trafford is over?

 

Can't imagine a first choice international keeper would come to be third choice, so you'd think so.

What do Brighton gain given we've not made a reciprocal purchase with them? It's likely just the actual value on Minteh based on a strong season in a technical league. We paid approx. the same for Lewis Hall and there's usually an additional luxury cost associated with exciting attacking players given that they're the ones the generate the most interest.

 

Anderson has a great deal of experience for a 21 year old and Vlachodimas is an experienced full international. As long as they don't go overboard there's enough plausible deniability to make it impossible to punish.

Maybe he's a cheaper Dubravka replacement than Trafford? Greece 1st choice keeper 

 

As I reflect on it more this may be the case. With fewer games maybe we're counting on Pope not missing so many games. This is assuming we're planning on selling Dubravka. Maybe we're not? Seems unlikely that we wouldn't try to cash in on him before his final contracted year. Even if he's not sold for much it's all part of the available funds to improve the squad and hus book value would be well below £1M. He was on top of his game when he signed the six year improved contract with us, so his wages would also be nothing to sneeze at.

Basically it’s clubs needing to be creative to meet the rules designed by them and the rest of the cabal to prevent other clubs competing with them.

Leeds have turned down £40m for Archie Gray. A lad who's had a decent season in the champ but apparently we're acting like Tories for asking for £35m for Anderson 

They’ve got zero self awareness though. They’re probably the most holier than thou set of fans going.

One of their best, yeah.

 

He was nearing the end of his extended contract and they only paid £15m for him in 2019 so the £42m + is mostly profit. Yay to modern football!

There’s the English player premium too

I'm assuming 10 points is the maximum possible penalty and that the likely penalty would've been in line with previous penalties, with Hope's "understanding" predominantly the result of his being a journalist and therefore a drama queen who suspends his common sense for the sake of a provocative headline.
