that buy likely doesn't count , as he probably going to start off as an academy player If he WAS added to the first team from the start, then it would count http://www.kridalegal.com/post.php?id=27#: The FFP does not count the expenditure done by clubs for establishing and maintaining youth academies but they do count the profit made by the Clubs after selling the Young Academy Graduate. This comes in as a two way escape route for the clubs as their expenditure would be low but profits will be added. This provokes the Clubs to have extensive youth academy setup where they have many players but they are not given any opportunity to represent the club at First team level. They are there just to hone their skills and make them look like a progressive talent so that these players can then be transferred to another club willing to pay for them.

Boehly is NOT running our transfers, he is not picking out who we buy and who we do not I do not give a toss how some journos phrase it he stepped down as interim sporting director in early January https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2023/01/09/todd-boehly-stands-chelseas-interim-sporting-director/

he is far better than Slabhead, but I just never fancied him for some reason it's a really solid signing for Villa

What a fucking disasterclass buy Mr Glass Pulisic was. £58m transfer fee plus massive salary added in for a total of almost £100m and we are going to get only around £15m for him it looks like he had one decent season (his first here) and has been shit and so often injured since then smdh 🤬

Together they are around €310-320m in terms of Napoli's demanded asking price O is €180m Kvart is €130-140m

no show me top journos saying Boehly is running our transfer targeting

their total sales for 2018/19 2019/20 2021/22 2022/23 and so far this summer: only $123m

insane that we may allow KEPA to block us from getting a potential WC monster (1.97m) keeper (Mamar) for only £21.5m

no short and too often shaky in the air he is only 1.83m and doesnt have long arms

Achraf Hakimi could be an option for Manchester City https://caughtoffside.substack.com/i/131860114/achraf-hakimi-could-be-an-option-for-manchester-city Achraf Hakimi is a name coming up again, this time being linked with Manchester City. As I said recently, he’s not someone PSG are actively looking to sell, but there could be the potential for a deal to be done at the right price. My understanding is that this position is unchanged, and that they could be willing to cash in on Hakimi if it would help them to land on of their other major targets. They’re not too light of other options for that role with Nordi Mukiele and Warren Zaire-Emery able to fill in there as well. In terms of how he might fit in at Man City, there’s an obvious role for him in that team if Kyle Walker ends up leaving, but I’m not totally convinced he has the defensive discipline that Pep Guardiola might want from him. He might have to undergo quite a bit of work on that side of his game if he were to join City, but equally it’s not surprising that they like someone of his profile and playing style. Still, whatever happens with him this summer there’s no doubt he’s stagnated a bit at PSG and so it will be interesting to see if there’s a chance for him to revive his career under Luis Enrique. He’s had a difficult last year or so, both on and off the pitch, with the allegations being made against him still needing to be taken into consideration by any club potentially making a move for him. Hakimi needs to be fully focused on his game in order to be at his best, so a fresh start under a new coach at PSG could be a good way for him to still have an important role to play at the Parc des Princes, especially while Kylian Mbappe is still at the club - they have a very good relationship, despite the players’ mothers taking pot shots at each other in the media recently! I can see the logic in City looking at him, but I could also see a move back to Spain being good for him, perhaps even back to his former club Real Madrid, assuming he does move on from PSG at some point in the future.

I am not worried

Boehly is NOT doing the transfers

wrong Barca target I do not want Kessie anyway Ronald Araújo Alejandro Balde Frenkie de Jong Ousmane Dembélé

just Oscar and Bobblehead brought in way over £100m gross

that would make our window spend over £400m counting the others we have already purchased

I said sell Kante after the CL so I am blameless on that free Kova was a at bad age to renew for 3 or 4 years, we are not a powerhouse side like Citeh that can plug him in and not expect miracles he downed tools last year, much to my dismay the only player we really wanted and have missed out on so far is Ugarte I am nowhere near panic mode

he has a crazy complicated situ, with massive agent fees that at least double his release clause price and a 20% sell on mandatory clause that the Turks pocket if he is flipped his dad seems a proper twat too Pool and others took one look at it and said nope from what I gather I think he is a potential monster He wants Sevilla btw

except he isn't a striker he mostly plays wide Right MF or wingback

https://www.football-espana.net/2023/06/27/turkish-wonderkid-arda-guler-identifies-laliga-side-as-his-preferred-next-club Over the last couple of weeks, there has been intense speculation regarding the future of Arda Guler, considered by many to be one of the brightest young talents in European football. Guler has been a regular starter for Fenerbahce for much of the last 12 months, despite being just 18 years of age. He has not looked out of place in senior football, which has caught the attention of many of Europe’s big hitters. Guler has been heavily linked with a move away from Fenerbahce, with it having emerged that he has a release clause worth just €18m. Barcelona and Real Madrid are among the clubs interested in triggering this. Diario AS have revealed that Guler is keen on a move to Spanish football, although rather than either of the El Clasico clubs, his preferred destination is Europa League holders Sevilla. If they can pull it off, signing Guler would be a major coup for Sevilla. However, it has also been reported that the teenager’s next club would owe a “labyrinth” of commissions to different agents, which amounts to a staggering €20m. Following this news, it’s safe to say that any interested parties will have to dig deep into their pockets to sign Guler. Sevilla will hope that they can use their advantage to press ahead with negotiations. https://sempremilan.com/relevo-huge-commission-guler-father-requesting The father of AC Milan target Arda Guler is asking for a huge commission when his son joins a new club which changes the face of the transfer completely, a report claims. As was reported by Relevo on Twitch (via Milan News), the father of Guler currently functions as the attacking midfielder’s agent and that is why he is in a position to ask for a commission. Despite his son/client being just 18 years old, he is asking for a commission of €18-20 million. Given the release clause in Guler’s contract with Fenerbahce is €17.5 million, the father is effectively doubling the amount of money the buying club will need to shell out. This could knock Milan out of the running, even though the Rossoneri are reportedly ready to bid slightly higher than the release clause to fend off the interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona. The father also wants confirmation that his son will have a key role at the club. https://www.rousingthekop.com/2023/06/28/report-liverpool-step-back-from-talks-to-sign-player-with-unlimited-potential-its-going-to-cost-too-much/ Now, according to ESPN, a clutch of teams – including Liverpool – have decided that the move is getting a little too rich for them. On top of the transfer fee, it’s claimed that suitors will have to pay a ‘significant’ commission to Guler’s agents, as well as surrendering 20% of any future sale to Fenerbahce.

U18 global valuations

he can play LWB he is a great dribbler (2nd only to Vini Jr of Real in global topflight football in dribbles for U23s ) good size (1.82m, so basically 6 feet tall, he hit a growth spurt form 1.73m to 1.80m to 1.82m the last couple of years) not much of a finisher yet (turned 18 in December) so hopefully improves
