    I think net spend is a bit less effective as a measure than it used to be. Since PSR has been in it really affects what people can actually spend. So, Newcastle being at 35m spend doesn't seem a lot, but they're also apparently at their limit. same for us and Villa. I don't think the data is readily available, but I think the most important thing these days is expenditure vs PSR limit.

    Think it more.paints a picture that PSR is a thing and this is affecting pretty much any mid to low prem teams

    And also spend over a period of time, as the balancing of the books for PSR isn't year by year.
  • alderzalderz
    But PSR is not only affected by spend, because some clubs can spend a fortune and continue to do so because their revenues are so high (sometimes artificially). On one hand I like PSR because owners can't be trusted to have the best, long-term interests of clubs at heart. But, on the other, it does exactly what Champo said, and protects the interests of the major players.

    Newcastle have only signed two first team players, Elanga from Forest and Aaron Ramsdale on loan

    Seems that Antonio may well remain at the Hammers in some capacity although not as a player.

    I assume PSR takes into account wages.

    We must have reduced ours by a lot having sold Kudus and offloaded Ings, Antonio, Cresswell, Fabianski, Coufal and Zouma. Also returning Soler and Ferguson.

    Our wage bill surely is significantly lower now.
  • alderzalderz
    I don't recall seeing this on here, but I may have missed it. Vladimir Coufal has signed for Hoffenheim in Germany. Looks like Danny Ings might be heading to Middlesbrough, and no real rumours for Kurt Zouma or Lukasz Fabianski.

    Fabs retired hasn't he?
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Don’t think so. He was in talks with Charlton but they signed somebody else, a cheaper option, so I guess he’s still looking.
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    Looking like Hermandson more likely to sign than John.
  • LukerzLukerz
    John deal off, Hermansen close - latest from social media world.
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    Looks like we handled the John situation well. Told him the deal was off just before he got on the plane at Rio
  • LukerzLukerz
    Deal agreed, at £18m, Sky Sports now reporting. Hermansen now on way for medical.

    Leicester fans all thinking we've got ourselves a bargain and they're all annoyed they didn't get more for him

    Sounds good to me (and much better than the Brazilian fella)
  • stevesteve
    Potter and our goalkeeping coach seem to have wanted him .So good on the club if it happens

    I really don’t like that we seem to do this every few windows. Maybe all clubs do it and I just don’t pay attention, but the Botafogo manager said that John Victor had said his goodbyes to the squad, and now we’re pulling out. Seems a bit out of order.

    I do wonder if it's intentional? They have talks but possibly the selling club plays hardball to get the price up so the buying club create an appearance of being very close to sealing an alternative, and the player himself if wanting the deal then ups the pressure and the selling club stop holding out.

    I hope that's not how it is but it wouldn't surprise me.


    I doubt there is a fan that is unhappy that we have the Leicester keeper over Victor however.

    It's just a shame we couldn't get Tottenham to pay more for Kudus isn't it? We waited for the auction to happen and they just waited for it not to happen so they were able to do a number on us over the price, a bit like what we have done in a fashion to Leicester.

    Think £55mil is pretty fair value for him tbf, give how much other players are moving for within the Prem

    Cant sa hes been better then Mbeumo, Cunha, Pedro, Elanga etc. Based on form

    They had to do an official announcement as his best mate has nicked his no.9 shirt 😂🤣😂.

    Villa's not been terribly busy either, just two first team players

    24yo Ivorian CF Evann Guessand, £28m from Nice, 13 goals and 10 assists in 42 last season

    34yo Dutch GK Marco Bizot, £3m from Brest, replacement for backup keeper Robin Olsen who has joined Malmo
  • LukerzLukerz
    I find the Emerson situation strange. Not played in any minutes, not been involved in any camps, yet only 3 weeks until the window shuts & no takers as yet for him.

    Imagine he’ll go out on loan in the final week but seems very odd given he’s been a decent player for us.
  • alderzalderz
    Bournemouth are going to be interesting. Losing their keeper, left back and both centre backs in one window is a big change, particularly when all of them had such good seasons last time out.

    Masuaku having a medical at Sunderland today.
