Since the clubs dont have the same money as the Premier League, the German league players will normally leave in the last 6 months or sign a short term extension so the club gets money for the player unless they are going to Bayern Edited February 1, 2022 by Zatman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to be, I think this is a theme across this window. Contact expiring players holding it out to get more money in the summer. Or at least using it as a threat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A'Villan Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 He's certainly a level above whatever league he's coming from but it's crossed my mind every time I watch his reels if the PL will still have him look as good. He's got a bit of flair about him though as well as defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is this obsession with selling players That's some way to twist a comment. I have no obsession with selling players, I want the club managed well. As regards selling Kamara. If we could pick him up on a free and then sell him 12 months later and as per my comment, 'if he is as good as suggested' then we would make a lot of money on the deal. More money = more profit = happier owners = more financial muscle in transfer market = better quality players = more success on the pitch. It is fairly simply logic. The question I asked is Why would be not be in for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a problem it itself, however if he doesn't perform then moving him on becomes an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No team will take on an underperforming player at £200k a week. Also, you put a player like that (young, unproven in the Premier League, not even an international) on £200k a week - next thing you have 10-15 members of the first team squad moaning as to why they are on half of that. I'd rather avoid paying out huge salaries unless the player was tier 1 and proven. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we’d laid out £40m for Bissouma people would have been happy enough but he’d still want about £150k a week. So that’s about £7.5m a year over 4 years that’s £30m. Total spend on him is £70m. It’s the overall cost that the money men look at. At least I hope so, or I’d be worried about Purslow and co. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
