Yes keeps using the phrase "The club know my thoughts" so be interesting to see if they give him what he wants

Most likely wants Cavani to replace Giroud and he'll end up with no one or another dud.

Not sure if there's much we can do about Cavani if he really wants to join Atletico, assuming the reports are to be believed.

Unless it's actually coming out of the player's mouth, I don't take much notice of reports.

If he wants to play, there's much more chance of that happening here as things stand.

Not so sure about the latter. Felix is struggling, Morata is inconsistent and Costa has gone downhill. He'll start lots of games there, similar to when David Villa went there and did a decent job for them.

Still can't see how a strike pairing costing over €170m+ would just be dropped in favour of him, not to mention Costa probably kicking up a fuss too.

I guess we'll know by next week at this time anyway.

They play with 2 strikers, so they can easily rotate. As for Costa, he's already over 30 and has been useless since returning to Atletico. They probably would have no qualm about ditching him if he kicks up a fuss TBH.

He'd still be rotated rather than being a certified starter (right now as I previously mentioned). I believe the language barrier could be the deciding factor more than anything for someone of his age. 

 

 

Either way, we can't cope with one backup CF and most at the club know that.

My son wants Atletico move - Cavani's mum

https://sports.yahoo.com/son-wants-atletico-move-cavani-093550804.html

Edinson Cavani's mother has accused Paris Saint-Germain of "not behaving well" and outlined her son's desire to join Atletico Madrid.

Uruguay international Cavani is PSG's record goalscorer but is expected to leave the Parc des Princes either in January or at the end of the season when his contract expires.

Atletico Madrid have been repeatedly linked with the 32-year-old and he is keen to try his luck in LaLiga.

His mother Berta Gomez told Spanish newspaper AS: "There is an open negotiation. PSG have rejected three proposals from Atletico but my son has asked to leave and we are waiting for an agreement to be reached by both clubs.

"It's complicated but he wants to play at Atletico, if not now, then in the summer. We have been wishing it for years but it does not now depend on my son but on PSG and Atletico."

We aren't signing anyone, its day 24 of the window and proving to be inept once again.

i suspect we might actually. I fully expected a real dejected lampard today if that was the case. It's going to be a loan though IMO.  If the 30th comes with no hint of something, then yes, we arent doing anything

 

So i wouldn't expect Dembele.

I've lost faith from only last week thinking we will signing someone.

In other words, "there's no value in January." The Wenger rule.

We ain't singing anyone.

Fiscally, it does not matter where a taxpayer was born, just that he or she pays in to the revenue. All established Premier League players are multi millionaires and if a club is unable to fill its squad with overseas footballers it will fill it with domestic ones instead. They will still be paid and they will still be required to pay taxes.

It might be tempting to argue that salaries for non domestic players will be higher, and that tax revenue from those players will therefore be higher too. I'm not sure the data bears that out however. The cost of employing homegrown players is already disproportionately high and driving up demand for their services would drive up their costs too.

I don't know what the data shows regarding this next point but it seems to me that non domestic players are more likely to set up legal offshore pay arrangements for a portion of their earnings and avoid income tax altogether. What must be sure is that they will spend much more of their disposable income outside the UK. This means that indirect tax revenues will be lost, as will be the economic benefit of their spending circulating in the UK economy.

Lastly, there is the clear win for UK revenues of transfer spending staying inside the country and that money circulating around our clubs generating more transfer levies and further economic activity.

It can't simply be assumed that fewer overseas players means less tax revenue for the government, or reduced economic benefit to the UK economy. It could even be that the exact opposites are true.

An industry such a PL/top level football is not going to be effected by Brexit full stop. The Tories have always been a low regulation party and they are not going to start messing about with immigration law that is going to affect blue chip industries. If a club in the PL or Championship want a player they are not going to start impacting that because the industries are too big to be messed around with. 

As for offshore accounts, yes income from sponsorship etc is probably going to continue to be funnelled offshore but income from wages will continue to be taxed as PAYE as they are employees. 

UK immigration law is going to change due to Brexit but this, like elsewhere, will effect poorer people rather than rich people. Anyone that looks into countries that have strict rules will quickly see that any individual that is worth millions can get a visa regardless as they can self finance themselves or bring in money to the respective exchequer. This will be the same with the UK.
