The Transfer Thread 2024/25 - Everything Not Wolves

[Tony Towner]

Pfft we did this years ago with a generational talent for twice the money.

Derby are getting £4.75m from that swizz

Good for them, about time more money went down the pyramid

Yeah I'd say this would be one positive element of these inflated PSR workaround transfers - clubs further down the chain unexpectedly picking up decent sell on fees

Kilman worth £35m, Barca want Faes. I don't know what a centre half is any more

It's a shame for Stearman that he's not 10 years younger. Imagine what he could have been worth now.

The Premier League could stop all of these bullshit deals for academy players by stating that any swap deals have to be amortised over one year.

How do you prove it's a swap deal though? None officially have been between PL clubs so far. What you could do is go back to the old tribunal system and say you paid £19m, but for FFP purposes we'll give you £3m relief

Hasn’t the Villa Everton one gone through yet?
I suppose an easier work around would be to state that players with under X amount of appearances or 1st team minutes have a 100% year one amortisation rule.
Villa

If the player is wanted that badly it wouldn’t stop the buying club from paying the fee.

It's gone through but not as a swap, Villa paid £10m for Dobbin, Everton a bit less than that for Iroegbunam. It's very dodgy, but tbh the PL have brought it on themselves, if it were Wolves I'd applaud it.

 

[DogWeasel]

Forest being linked to Gnonto.

I really don't understand that club.

 

[The Bear]

Agreed. Good on any clubs who make their anti-competetive rules look stupid.

You will be singing from a different hymn sheet when you want to buy a player on the fringes of a first team and the price has been grossly inflated because his agent knows a shit swap deal will get him more money (potentially from both sides of the deal).

 

[Tony Towner]

Something dodgy going on here as it doesn't stack up otherwise

Leicester trying to avoid the points deduction

 

[Tony Towner]

That doesn't stack up though, you'd just sell him, not swap him for a Brighton squad player

 

[YoungWolf]

Yeah, if a straight swap that’s bizarre.

Though it looks like Chelsea in for him

 

[PuntsWolf]

It’s not going to be a straight swap though is it?

And “swapping him” gets an inflated fee for him which is offset by Moder (but amortised).

They’re owed one from their last season on the Premier League
