I’m sure Stan is more clued up than me, but this is crazy. This means we’re still paying Gudes’ wages!

Sounds fundamentally wrong to me. Surely this kind of arrangement would be evidenced in club accounts?

He's back on the gear

You sometimes hear that a player is sorting out his leaving terms with his selling club so I believe there’s an element of truth in it. Roy Keane on the overlap mentioned that being paid up his contract at Forest delayed his transfer to United. That was 30 years ago mind.

How have Forest managed to spend so much money again? Surely they’ll be sailing close to the wind PSR wise?
I’ve just read that they’ve left new signings Omari Hutchinson (£37.5m) and Zinchenko out of their Europa League squad. Tottenham have done likewise for Mathys Tel.

 

[BillyDee]

Spent around £200M, received around £100M. I appreciate PSR isn't that simple, but still...

Arsenal spent loads with barely any sales. All the B teams making profits

 

[Sniffer]

I remembered the Elanga sale but couldn’t think of others who would have generated hefty fees. Seemed to have got rid of an awful lot of average fringe players for hefty fees to clubs associated with their owner.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Levy left Spurs.

 

[Del Woppio]
