Seriously, everyone, a free transfer is not actually free! It would only be nominally cheaper than buying a player from a club. 

Whilst that’s true, it probably helps with any ffp short term issues. It also means that if we sell the player in a couple of years time for say, £40m that takes a high earner off the books and gives us a £40m profit on top. 
 

You’re right the overall cost over a number of years is probably pretty much the same, but we’re not short of actual cash, we’re restricted by ffp. Free signings at least blur’s the line a little and allows the accountants more room for “flexibility”, when considering ffp. Which must go against the grain a little for accountants who have spent a lifetime trying to prove a loss for tax reasons, to now be asked to prove a profit.

Unconvinced, a lot is said about agent fees but pretty sure our accounts last year showed we spent£9-10m on agent fees, which was up a decent amount already too but it's not a game changer.

If signing Kamara bumps that by 50% it's still only £5m. Anda player of his value is worth that plus whatever stupid signing bonus I'm sure we can also guess about.

As long as we can amortize those fees as we can a normal purchase, then it's cheaper and better on the accounts for sure

Quite wanted us to sign Joao Palhinha but I guess Kamara filled that need in the squad. Still think they could have worked together in the team.

Be interesting to see how he works if he goes to Fulham.

would be a good buy to play alongside Kamara.

but why is he out on loan at 26 if he is so good?

Well that's not the case all the time is it.

Carlos clearly lost us at least £20m more than Tarkowski would have.

Unless you think Tarkowski would have had a signing on fee of over £8m?

Free!!...... is only relevant these days, when you leave prison.

20m difference is pretty good between a defender who helped his team get champions league and a defender who helped get his team get relegated

Not sure what the situation is there, he was a regular in the very good Portugal midfield in 2021, not so much in 2022.

Jessica Alba married some random dude so strange things happens.
