    The last paragraph would suggest that we are done with major signings. Now time for outgoings, and maybe incoming only if an opportunity hard to pass arises.
  2. Czarnikjak
    Looks like he will never be fit again.

    Net spent is such a meaningless figure, you shouldn't be using it. Kamara and Tielemans - net spent zero

    Suso was sacked for a reason after all
  5. Czarnikjak
    We can sell with a buy back clause inserted.

    Looked fast against U21s defenders....different ball game in Premier League. Louie Barry looked fast against U21s as well...

    Morals aside, how much are we actually benefiting from this deal? Cazoo deal was apparently worth £6m per year, I can't find much information about this new deal...the only figure i could find mentioned £8m, if this is true, the extra 2 million doesn't seem to be worth the bad publicity associated with it.

    I thought we were. I was against this signing from the very beginning. I'm sure I wasn't alone, maybe people didn't vocalized it here, but I couldn't be the only one thinking that this is a terrible idea.
  9. Czarnikjak
    Oh, you're right...4 years....we were even more stupid than I thought.
  10. Czarnikjak
    More than that. Wages 7m (135k per week), amortisation 6m ( 17m / 3 year contract)...so more like £13m per year.

    Some people are still waiting for Micah Richards to get fit....you can't help them.

    I wouldn't get too excited just yet. First, it's only a rumoured proposal, we don't even know if it will be put up for a vote and when it will be applied (if ever). Second, that would be in place alongside revenue based cap as well...So we still won't be able to match the big six in terms of wages. Third, this proposal is not for a fixed, never changing cap. It will go up together with the broadcast revenue (the multiplier).

    I'm not sure I want Purslow to go bold in the transfer market. Last time he did we ended up with Coutinho and Ings

    Dodgy Chinese gambling firms pay the best buck for teams like us. Unless you're Saudi government you can't "entice" middle eastern companies to fork out £25m to sponsor your team.

    The wealth of the owners is almost meaningless. It's the willingness of the owners to invest that wealth that matters. As you pointed out, Wolves have loaded owners, yet they closed the taps. Additionally, with FFP around, you also need the willingness and ability to circumvent the rules and inject your club with funds to push you to the next level (aka PSG, City and now Newcastle). Political clout of state owned clubs is perfect for this. Our owners don't want to or can't do it, thus we play by the rules putting as at a disadvantage against those clubs.

    The competitiveness of most teams in Premier League has increased massively due to the influx of money. Even lesser clubs can now afford to sign very good players from any other European league. As Leicester showed You can have one bad season and get relegated. Look at us under Gerrard as well , the same squad as under Emery and we struggled as hell. By any objective metric (wages and squad cost) Leicester had comparative squad to Newcastle this season. They just massively underperformed while Newcastle over performed. The same can happen to us next season. Obviously us finishing 8th is much more likely than 18th, but both outcomes are still realistic possibilities.

    His injuries were all muscular, not impact. I would say they have more to do with his physiology than luck. There's a reason why he has hardly played over last 5 years.
  18. Czarnikjak
    This signing looks worse and worse with time. We can't sell him without making a big loss. I wonder if it's actually better to sell him this summer and take the FFP hit now, while grealish money is still part of the calculations. That would free up his wages and amortisation for next seasons when we are going to be more exposed. We would be saving £6m amortisation and £7m wages yearly. So even taking £13m netbook loss on him, evens itself out over one season.

    He is not a "premier league proven" striker. Much less than Watkins at least. He only has one season out of 3 with double digit goals in Premier League. Watkins has 3 out of 3. Besides, he's just done his ACL...why the heck would you sign someone with ACL?
  20. Czarnikjak
    People still harping on about "proven PL strikers"? What a load of tosh. Haland and Kane are the only 2 more proven Premier League strikers than Watkins. Which one do you fancy? Or maybe you want Ings back? He was signed as proven pl striker.
  21. Czarnikjak
    Our squad is at similar levels to Newcastle and Leicester this season. If they can finish in top 4 and 18th, so can we. Our expected position is probably around 8th, but if we have very good or very bad season, it can swing massively, up or down respectively. I said 2nd to 20th as I don't think anyone can touch city
  22. Czarnikjak
    Realistically anything between 2nd and 20th
  23. Czarnikjak
    This 231 will probably be all footballers and coaches, including academy (not women though). But it's impossible to be sure really. First team players and coaches will take vast majority of it you would think, over 90%, probably more like 95%. So in the best case scenario it would be 90% of £124m
  24. Czarnikjak
    Aston Villa FC Limited posted wages of £9.3m plus £1m directors renumeration. I think it's probably safe to assume the rest of the wages went to footballing staff.
  25. Czarnikjak
    Squad cost is not done over 3 years and it's not retrospective. The only part of it they look over 3 years is profit on player sales. It's too variable to look only at one transfer window for that.
