    They aren't that dificult to find, alderz, really.

    For west ham, you go to the website and 1 click takes you to Corporate Information, and 1 more to an index page for all the financial statements. Then you just pick the one you want.

    For Bournemouth, you use the search box, and it takes you straight to the relevant page....

    I haven't looked at all the other clubs because

    well

    I don't want to. :biggrin:

    Even in our May 18 accounts we show a PROFIT on player disposals of almost £30m.

    Crikey? How did that happen? Because the Payet sale was the year before. I’m struggling to think of what could have comprised that?

    I'm not going to go into the details of who we sold for how much, but you can make a profit on player disposals even if you sell for less than you buy for (in the accounts that is).

    Just as an example, we buy a player for £100m (haha, but just keeping the figures easy) on a 4 year contract.

    Given that he can walk away after 4 years and we get nothing, from an accounting point of view, you would usually write off his transfer fee over the length of his contract, so his transfer fee effectively costs us £25m a year for each of the 4 years he's at the club. This means his book value is £75m after 1 year, £50m after 2 years and £25m after 3 years.

    If we sold him after 3 years for £50m, we'd all be gutted that we lost £50m on a player, but the accounts would show a profit on player disposals of £25m as his book value at that point is only £25m.

    According to Australian broadcaster SBS we're one of six Premier League clubs interested in Huddersfield's Aaron Mooy, the others being Wolves, Watford, Newcastle, Southampton and Leicester.

    Definitely meh...

    If we were looking at that level of player, I would far rather see Cullen given a run in the squad/side.

    tbh, I'd rather see him given a go anyway; I've always liked what I've seen of him, and he's 23 now.

    Andy Carroll and Adrian to leave West Ham United.

    I bet no one saw that coming. ;)

    Nasri aswell so plenty of wages freed up :wave:
  • alderzalderz
    According to the BBC article about it we are also looking to sell Hernandez and Perez

    I see Toni Martinez is also leaving. Part of the policy of buying a “prospect” from overseas, putting them in the dev squad and then it ultimately going nowhere.

    I predict the same fate for Xande maybe this time next year.

    Never understood why we do this time and again.

    Not unexpected, and the right thing to do, but I still feel a little bit sad.

    I guess it's a low risk way of trying to unearth a jewel. We have Silva and Dju that, as you say, may go the same way, but they haven't cost a lot and will, at worse, improve our U23s.

    Andy Carroll it was inevitable but sadly ur body just cannot cope with the demands of PL football these days, such a shame as we all know, when he was fit he was more than a handful for the opposition, I wish him well wherever he ends up, apart from when he should face us!.

    Can imagine Sean Dyche on the phone as we speak...

    Would it be a good idea to split the FFP posts from transfer rumours posts?
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Make or Break for Cullen really, 23 years old either he impresses in Pre-season and makes the squad or he gets sold for his own career really.
  • alderzalderz
    The only stuff I can find about Cullen's contract says that it also expires this summer, so I'm a little confused about his situation :hmm:

    Just watched the Adrian and Carroll goodbye videos and it's made me feel a bit emotional tbh
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Some reports say Cullen signed a three year deal in 2017. Odd.
  • McHammerMcHammer
    Along with the trio of senior players, a host of youngsters will also be released. 13 players in total will depart the club.

    Evening standard

    Sky also reporting that Perez to Alaves is almost done

    Only a £2/3mil fee but I think about £70k off the wage bill
  • LukerzLukerz
    Not sure we’ll get a better 3rd/4th choice option than Lucas Pérez. 6 goals in 19 appearances. £2m seems very low given today’s market but there you go.
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    It is low, we probably could only get in Rosie Perez for less. She only had one dance for all songs but at least she'd be easy to read...

    Pure speculation, but I wonder if the fee is low to allow Alaves to pay Perez a higher weekly wage. It's rumoured that we want Maripan, so offering Perez for a low fee could also be a sweetener for that deal.

    What it also suggests is that we're confident of bringing in a striker. We wouldn't let Carroll and Perez go if we didn't have someone lined up, would we? :hmm:

    All of the players I saw linked with us in May, where there was at least one source. (PC users, if you right click the image and choose 'view/show image' it will appear full size.)
