The only benefit I can see is when 25/26 is on the start of the accounting period. But I ain’t no accountant type.

So you are suggesting the 25m obligation for next year counts in this years calculation?

So Rob reckons it’s an obligation No idea.

Would quite like this one to be completed out of the blue

Yeah, this is inline with my thinking too. Unless we have decided he has to go regardless this window, and after so many decent seeming ‘outs’ - otherwise why would we be taking a dubious deal from a cash rich club?

Both leaving unlike Bouba.

The concept at least requires an answer rather than assuming the worst (and easiest) outcome.

I did say my maths was ass (was to lazy to correct) so there is that.

So more super helpful shit throwing helps how? Would like to consider this deal beyond throwing muck if that’s ok with you…

Even so, it does not effect his book value

So he signed in a 4 year deal at 21m each year detracting 5.5m from his book value. 1 year has elapsed already, so his book value is 16.5, and after the loan, his book value will be 11m (During the loan we pay no wages) So they could buy him for 25m when his book value is 11m therefore we have spent 11m (of his book value) plus wages. Surely I have this wrong and should just put down the wine and go to bed??? note - maths sucks ass, but you get the idea I hope

Yes, assuming the 25m has no other conditions, it’s crap

Suppose it depends if there is no nuance in the deal. If it’s 25m option + 5/10m loan fee + -2m wages, it’s not the end of the world. Disappointing for sure, but not disastrous as we don’t this cash for incomings.

His value could well increase I guess, more than a season in the Championship would provide Trying to see the upside is getting kinda tiring.

And I shall think this until it is proven otherwise.

No convinced even Jon would get away with no loan fee and paying the wages

Not 100% certain to be true (but decent journo) and I see no indication of a loan fee, which there usually would be.

And presumably a loan fee?

Let’s see the final details, these are the partisan reports.

How much is the loan fee??? €25m?

Quite, but history would dictate the unlikeliness of this outcome, then again I suppose this window has been rather unusual anyway!

Imagine the surprise….

If Bouba, Faes and BEK go and nobody comes in, I will be devastated.

He looks around, and that means he is looking around to blame someone?
