Daka has £4.6m book value, accept £5m record a profit and get Ivanovic!!!

In fact this can’t be true because didn’t Brighton spend a crazy amount the following season they sold Caicedo etc because of the pure profit they made the year before?

I didn’t know that you didn’t carry forward profit to be honest but regardless you wouldn’t want all your income to be sat in one year. Eventually that individual year will fall off the 3 year cycle, by spreading it across to next year you are putting yourself in a better position for future 3 year cycles, if that makes sense? Ultimately I hate to say it but I think it’s somewhat a shrewd business move as ultimately they are going to be paying Genk around £600k instead of £1.5m. I think that’s the key part to the deal.

It’s forward thinking which we need to do more often. PSR is a 3 year cycle, so it’s staying ahead of it from that perspective. We are allowed a max loss of £61m in that 3 year cycle. We have one season in the premier league (Max loss £35m) & two season in the championship (Max loss £13m per season). This will be the same for next season too if we don’t go up. We also have our parachute payments reduced 10% next season if we are still in the championship, so fronting money for next year also helps with that.

I would imagine we’ve decided we are not in need for the money this year to do our recruitment, therefore decided to bank the money next year instead. By having a £5m loan fee we’ve also reduced the amount Genk will receive via sell on clause. £25m means they’re entitled to 15% of £4m in comparison to them being entitled to 15% of £10m+. As ugly as it seems, long term it probably benefits us.

Milan signing Rabiot, close thread.

Surprises me they aren’t still going for a right winger after the links in previous days.

He’s going to be fuming he can’t link us to any other championship strikers.

Exactly this, I know it sounds like an awful deal based of the rumours we’ve heard regarding price recently, but I don’t think this deal is as bad as it seems. If Rob Dorsett was right regarding our PSR situation and we didn’t necessarily need to sell Bilal to do our recruitment then we’ve got a head start the following season which is vital if we don’t go up this year. Cashflow is going to be a bigger issue next season if that is the case. The £5m loan fee free’s up the PSR space for this season so doesn’t restrict this summer also. Finally, I would imagine the mandatory option will be based off amount of games played. We did similar with Yunus Akgun.

I think VK’s move to Forest not working out killed the hope of a new left back.

This is the one I’m most hopeful of tomorrow.

Does the loan window close tomorrow evening also?

Out: Bilal Alves (Loan) In: Julian Caranza Rak-Sakyi Joao Rego Jordan James

Reliable source or not? Would be a good signing.

Cheaper fee than we paid for a season long loan.

100% on paper the signings of both Soumare and Daka appeared amazing signings. I don’t blame the club for making the signing of the two they were exciting signings on paper! Neither worked out in English football and it happens.

Exactly why he’s not made for English football. How many times do you actually see a striker 1 on 1 with the goalkeeper in both the championship or the premier league? It’s rare now.

Mods…. Ban him.

Exactly, would be a good move going for him but would still require a striker. I’ll be honest though, a front 4 of Stephy/Monga, Boving and Abdul behind let’s say Ivanovic would be a lot of fun at this level.

Yes, but I don’t see him as a striker he would be more of a Bilal replacement for me.

Very interesting comments, I’m very much a believer that both the club and Marti see this as a 2 year project in the championship. Obviously they say promotion this year to keep everyone happy.

He followed after we was linked no?

Signing Pelle Mattsson for £2.7m is an absolute bargain. We should have been all over that.

Two of the players I wanted, moving in the same tweet. Sad.

I really don’t feel positive about this one. Why’s it always the ones you’re not keen on end up happening
