RicRic Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 We missed a huge trick on Marcos Leonardo who has signed for Benfica from Santos, would have been perfect for us and could rotate with watkins regularly and not be out of place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicRic Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 We need a wide brazilian who can play up top and on the left flank of midfield. Martinelli fits the bill to perfection 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benfica is a great move for him tho. Great step up club for south Americans. Proven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they can, once everyone is in line with the new rules and it reaches its eventual limit, which is 70% I think then whomever has the bigger revenue goes back to picking off whatever they like. FFP isn’t about saving clubs from going bust it’s about keeping those who generate the most revenue at the top. if it were about saving clubs we would do real time accounting which that have in the lower leagues and they would allow owners to put together a bond for the excess in spending they want to do therefore protecting the club in question. so for example we want to sign someone for 50m on a 5 year deal for 10m per year and it’s all outside of ffp the owners literally would have to stump up 100m pounds which is drawn down for the fee and wages.

Hopefully some sort of reset can happen over the next few years although it’s more likely just going to see the traditional big clubs get a stronghold again. Football is becoming a bit shit really isn’t it? See my other reply 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's always been the case though, but it will (or should) be less frequent. Arsenal for example can't afford a striker like Toney without selling some players, whereas before Toney would be gone, and Brentford left with some cash and a hole in their squad needing filled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Just seen an update on the Sanson loan… Nice can trigger a permanent move and fee (don’t know the figure) in the summer… apparently he’s impressed there and is desperate to stay… Another one off the books hopefully… Coutinho?

If this were too happen though Man City and Newcastle would have dream teams and be competing for every trophy. Nobody would be able to compete with states. Going back on topic, I don’t think we’re signing anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
