Ffs lads let’s not do the accountant shite again just get the lad signed and move on

Why are we talking about selling him already? We haven’t even bought him yet and we already want to calculate potential profit.

Let’s buy great talent and keep hold of them. Now if a stupid offer came along in the future, then you would have to consider it. But we should want to keep these players for the long term. That’s how you move up the table and get back to where we want to be.

Wait wait, people are trying to argue buying for £40m and selling for £25m is some kind of profit?

Apparently so. On the bright side that does mean we broke even on sigurdsson, bolasie and tosan

I hope we counted the profit in our PSR calculations. Should have an absolute packet to spend given we've just made £25m on Doucoure

Nobody has to believe me, but ChatGPT agrees

Great question — you’ve hit on exactly how PSR (Profit & Sustainability Rules) accounting works in football. Let’s break it down step by step using your example.

⸻

Step 1: The Purchase
• Player bought for £45m on a 5-year deal.
• For accounting purposes, the transfer fee is amortised evenly over the contract length.
• That means £45m ÷ 5 = £9m per year amortisation expense.

⸻

Step 2: After 3 Years
• Amortisation charged so far: 3 × £9m = £27m.
• Net Book Value (NBV) of the player still on the books = £45m – £27m = £18m.

⸻

Step 3: The Sale
• You sell the player for £20m.
• For PSR purposes, you compare the sale price (£20m) with the book value (£18m).

Profit on disposal = £20m – £18m = £2m.

⸻

Conclusion

Yes — under PSR rules, you have made a £2m profit.
Even though in real cash terms you “lost” compared to the original £45m purchase, the accounting treatment means the earlier amortisation has already been recognised as an expense, so the sale at £20m brings in a small accounting profit.

pity u couldnt have explained this to moshi and bill a few season ago lol

[OldEnglandToffee]

Apologies for starting the PSR talk. My main reason was to try and see the signings and the cost in a new light. 40 million on a (hopefully) well scouted youngster is a way better deal than spending 25 million on a 28 year old. We fucked ourselves (or moshiri more like) over the last few years. Now we’re getting it right. Is he guaranteed to be awesome? Of course not no signing is. But we’re doing things right finally

[Bornblue88]

I think our edge in the deal is that we have shown we want him all summer and have a starting place for him, but mostly because of the deal we’re offering given he’s 19 and wasn’t a nailed on stater for a truly crap team. 33 games with 13 as a sub in the prem. I don’t think Palace coming in late will really turn his head and he won’t get regular minutes at Spurs

[Cozzie]

Wasn't in the squad today was he.

No.

The psr chat is actually positive in this case lads.

Ok it is funny that you can buy a player for 45 mill and sell for 20 and still make a profit, but that is the way it is

Point being made is the money is fine, get him signed, even if he’s only average we will not make a loss (for PSR purposes, which is at least as important as actual cash these days)

So let’s fucking do it

That's absolutely not the way it is. It's not profit. You've already had a minimum of 26m count against psr
