January 2017 Transfer Window

[GLewis]

Gets them off the wage bill to assist with FFP.

Sales/purchases aren't accounted for in one year (so Schneiderlin's fee will only go down as £5.5m on this years accounts if he signs a 4 year deal, Stones only £10m) and we're not poor in terms of cash or credit now so we dont need to sell to buy - just clear up the wage bill to make space.

Pretty sure sales are all in the year they occur.

Otherwise we'd have to base our accounting on something that could be private (the length of his contract) between his new club and the player.

The profit on a sale is definitely accounted for in the year that it happens.

Purchases are spread over the length of the initial contract.

I'd guess these are loans as it's not easy to find buyers.

But we should get a loan fee, plus we'll be saving a million each in wages for Niasse, Cleverley, hopefully Kone, which soon adds up to a decent amount.

I've no idea what sort of fee we will get for Cleverley when we sell him, maybe 5 million tops?

Deulofeu travelling to Milan for a medical is the latest rumour

I think it is damage limitation with most of the players we want rid of. Just get what we can and get rid.

Looks like we're stepping up the effort to de-Martinezify the club.

Good. Shows how much shite we've accumulated over the last fee years that we can't even sell these players.

Clev will be no loss whatsoever.

Agreed. Especially when you consider that we  got him for nothing.

[Rodenplav64]

Koeman doing exactly what everyone said he would, getting rid of the shite

So long as he doesn't just replace shite with over inflated priced shite thats fine .

[MmmBlueToffee]

Agreed. Especially when you consider that we  got him for nothing.

But paid him handsomely to get splinters in his arse....

Give them Gibson instead

I'd like to think, that in a window where Jordan Ibe went for £15M having done fuck all in his career, that a player who has won the premier league, won numerous England caps and is in the prime of their career (27) would fetch at least the same price.

Why roll over and have our bellies tickled?

If they want him, charge top price, like every other club does.

£15M is todays £5M anyway.

Some booby prize that!
