FullLeatherJacket posted:Yeah, everything I've seen is that United weren't willing to table an offer, rather than the player choosing Liverpool (which he might have done anyway, in fairness). There'd be no reason for PSV not to try and push a bidding war if not. The Guardian ran a story saying United don’t have any money for transfers while the Glazers are looking to sell, but it was all a bit vague so who knows. https://amp.theguardian.com/football/2022/dec/27/manchester-united-unlikely-to-sign-striker-permanently-in-january-window Arsenal look primed to cave at the last minute for some Ukrainian child. Feels like old times

Arsenal are supposedly close to picking up the Ukrainian kid for £70m. Arsenal definitely do not have a good track record of picking up young wingers for that amount.

FullLeatherJacket posted:can someone who knows something about the football please explain why this lad who has had *checks notes* 49 appearances and 9 goals in the ukrainian league is now worth three drogbas and a ballon d'or clause He’s young and seems to be scoring goals at a good clip this year, but also money laundering, corruption, and football being dead.

I love me a good transfer hijack. Seems like a bit of an insane move for Chelsea, though.

Vegetable posted:A longer period of amortization has the effect of borrowing from your future transfer budget. An eight-year amortization period eats away at your 2029, 2030 and 2031 transfer budgets when a five-year period wouldn't. It helps with FFP compliance today but hurts your ability to comply in future periods. It's not some magical wand that makes FFP go away. Football club owners love to mortgage their future for results now. But also the amount they’re amortizing will presumably be worth significantly less eight years down the line, so that is helpful too.

Please accept this post as me claiming to have noticed Trossard when he played for Brighton or Belgium and being a big fan of him and definitely not having no clue who he is.

Jorginho sucks, but I guess it’s better to have him than Lokonga and then wind and ghosts. I don’t get the reasoning behind loaning out Lokonga at all. We would still want him as a third choice.

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in whatever executive meeting Chelsea had where they approved spending three quarters of a billion pounds on “idk whoever” and “maybe players other teams are trying to buy.”

Ancelotti does seem especially well suited to being an international manager tbh. And managing Brazil will be a nice cap to his career. I hope it goes well for him, but also generally wish Neymar the worst at the same time.
