Kieran. 6,317 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I'm for some reason starting to agree with those people who want 50m to be used on multiple positions instead of only Falcao.Why "for some reason"? It's obviously best for the club. Sheva. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Why "for some reason"? It's obviously best for the club.Yeah i agree now. I would take 3 good players over 1 insanely beast striker Kieran. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rmpr 8,977 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 People, are you living in reality?Do you really think we will buy 3 players if we dont get Falcao?GET REAL, it is him or no one else. This is how Roman is and he is not ready to change (just yet). I am not arguing the fact we need 3 cheap, but good, players. However, it looks likewe are kids expecting Santa. We all know how we do business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumps 284 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Striker and holding midfielder coming our way by the looks of things.anybody think we will be seeing some of our loaned out players returning??? Im thinking KDB and Lukaku....dont know if we have the power to recall them, but it'll be cheaper and leave us some money to spend big on 1 or 2 decent names instead of spending big on 3 or 4 good players.

But we cannot go into the new year with 1 striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,952 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I must be the most blindly optimistic person in here.I think Roman is gonna go bonkers this window and assemble a squad capable of closing this gap and making a Premier League challenge and to win the Europa League.Here's hoping.

I don't think we're close to infringement of FFP are we?Plus we're gonna have several of our older players off the books soon.Largely due to CL prize money. None of that going round now. We'll likely post a loss, albeit close to the 'acceptable limits' outlined in FFP. Pizy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without winning the CL we would have been in the red again. We're not going to win the CL this season obviously, so we are already in the red lol.We can't sign Falcao and then a couple other good players.

Muzchap 8,966 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Look FFP is complete bolloxWe're making a loss of 50 million - ooh hang on Sponsorship deal over 2 years from a 'Gas' company of 100 million...See how easy it is? I hope we get Falcao and some of our loan boys back (KdB) would be best IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 High wages of the old guard coming off our wage bill will help with FFP. Drogba was on more than £100k pw as are Malouda, Lampard and Cole. Benayoun and Essien are also on big wages so there is a lot to work with if we move these players on.Also FFP is different to the accounts we post - there are expenses disregarded such as youth infrastructure, etc. so whilst we made a profit of only about £1m in last years accounts, under FFP that could be closer to £15-20m as some expenses are not considered.I can see Roman splashing again in January otr the summer or both.

Rmpr 8,977 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 He can't with FFP around.I agree, but have you wondered why major clubs are spending more than usual this year?FFP has a very clear breach. One of the rules says the clubs can have between 30-45 million in the first three years and after that, it will get more strict each yearuntil it reaches the even mark. However, a club can have hiscase reviewed if they managed to lower their losses (even if itdoesnt reach the agreed amount).Well, you can already see what PSG, Chelsea and ManCity will do...
