The Incoming Transfers Everywhere Thread: Summer 2023

[Johnny75]

Chelsea want over £40m so that is a total non-starter as a loan with obligation.

On a technicality, and mindful that we have no actual FFP issues anyway, what was the MGW kicker for those clowns staying up and does it land in the numbers this summer? It can’t have been plugged into last summer and was talked up as a decent amount compared to most transfer amounts, but I’ve not heard mention of it. Every little helps and all that…

I don't think it was a survival clause but a PL appearance bonus which obviously will only be hit now they've stayed up.

I seem to remember it being a £10m payment after 50 PL appearances. I've no proof so don't ask for any. I don't even know why that figure has stayed with me but it has.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

We may well have had a clause with Boly too.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I think it was around £10m for him and Boly together.

 

[Mel Evo]

Certainly a meaningful number to chuck into the rather pointless sums to evidence we’re alright - more material than many recent outgoings and seemingly nailed on this financial year.

We don't actually know if they've paid it mind you. Plenty of rumours they've not paid people this summer.

I have a feeling they're falling apart and we may be chasing nearly £15m from them in installments and bonuses due.

Indeed. I’d well imagine this one will fall into the bad debt pile as it comes up when they’re marooned in the bottom three and looking less smug. However, that won’t be the bean counters concern so chuck it in the good mixer.

Seems a bit of a backward step compared to being at Swansea last season, you'd think after being relatively successful there he might have found suitors higher up the table.

Plymouth will finish above Swansea.

 

[Pastywolf]

Pete O'Rourke saying Cundle is going to Plymouth on loan. That'll be an interesting one, they're favourites to go down but based on the highlights from yesterday (I know, I know) they've got a lot of attacking talent. They play a 4-3-3 as well which should suit him.

I was at their game yesterday, I doubt they’ll go down, very strong in defence (coped pretty well with Warnock ball) and a classy front three who all scored. Bali Mumba is huge talent, caused problems all day. One to watch there.

I did think that, but seemingly quite a smart club moving in the right direction

If the £10m was for both, I think Boly only made up £2m of it.

Are Forest in such a dire situation they'll stop playing MGW to avoid extra payments before they sell him?

Funny, just not for us if so.

 

[Kenny]

The issue for payments from Forest is not ones owed to clubs but to the players.

Players that have been released/sold this summer are due various bonuses and they simple haven't paid them. A few agents also owed money but fuck them...

 

[big mean bunny]

I am not sure where the vitriol towards Forest comes from personally. There approach to signings was insane but ultimately worked, it was similar to what Villa needed to do for there initial season in the Prem, in the sense there squad was threadbare.

I think its because they act like a team of Podence's.

Think it's just prolonged the inevitable. Can't see them finishing outside the bottom 3 this year.

Villa got very, very lucky. They were going down before the lockdown happened.

Forest were not very good either last season. One of the worst teams in the league for the majority of the season.

Sometimes it just goes your way
