FoxFossil Posted 6 August 2020 Posted 6 August 2020 (edited) Could Top fund a purchase of Ghezzal for Leuven, say £20m, and same for Silva, and same for Slimani? Are there rules to stop this kind of thing? Edited 6 August 2020 by FoxFossil 1

If he was fit and Rodgers preferred to pick Bennett over him, probably say everything about his standing with the boss. I don’t think he is fit hasn’t been training out on grass yet I don’t think? 1

Ric Flair Posted 6 August 2020 Posted 6 August 2020 Not got the pace or aggressiveness to be an attacking player in the PL. He had flashes of ability but was never going to make it here.

kingfox Posted 6 August 2020 Posted 6 August 2020 The day he signed I classed him as a Primark Mahrez, nice to see a player prove me right for once.

I suspect what the post was asking if Leuven were to purchase Slimani, Silva and Ghezzal for £20m each would that be a problem? I would think it would depend on the finances of Leuven and their ability to spend at a rate which would not impact on FFP in relation to wages/Revenue ratio.

I don't think you could get away with values like that, I imagine the value would need to be more realistic Watford and Udinese who have the same owners do it occassionally, recently Watford bought a player from Udinese for £8m and then sold a player to them for £2m, and they also loan players to Udinese with a loan fee attached, so basically just an easy way of moving money between the 2 clubs There are definitely ways we can move money around between the 2 clubs if we needed, the whole Hirst thing is an example of this as it ended up being a way of getting him cheap but also being able to give a transfer fee to Leuven

coolhandfox Posted 10 August 2020 Posted 10 August 2020 A loan fee and pay his wages, probably the best we can hope for!
jeffschlupp Posted 10 August 2020 Posted 10 August 2020 Dodgy maths incoming. If Rachid is on £45k a week, a loan for a season is £2.34m in wages. Last season they reportedly paid £270k in a loan fee, so that makes at most £3m for us if Fiorentina pay all of his wages (possibly unlikely). If we did the same next summer we'd 'make' £6m from his final two seasons here. We could also sell him next summer but you're unlikely to get more than £3m for the player - add that to his foregone wages and you've probably saved/made £9m at the very most. Alternatively, we sell him this summer, clear his £4.6m wages for the two seasons, and take a fee of at least £4.5m. That generates more money for the club and also ensures we don't have to look for a buyer or team to loan to next summer, when he could have had a crap season there. The agreed option to buy was roughly £9m, and TMW report we'd rather do the permanent deal than have another loan. £5m would be a decent deal for us.

The Italian rascals no there will be no queue for this transaction. Probably better to look at the saved wages as opposed to a receiving a fee of any magnitude

When you say it like that I’m thinking how much does a hitman cost. 2
ARM1968 Posted 11 August 2020 Posted 11 August 2020 How much do they want to keep him? I’m sure we could have a whip round.

Someone still has to want to buy him, and match our wages. I suggest that's unlikely with the current set of the football world.

It didn't matter what he did on the field, minds were made up and no amount of positive evidence was going to be noticed. People were too busy (and I heard this when sat in the Kop) indulgently and self-importantly loudly wishing Puel to 'get out of MY club', like they owned it, or it is/was any more their club than anyone else's, or that their petulant, angry diatribes were any more of value than anyone else's. This was just having beaten Chelsea, Man City and Everton. Puel was a reliable coach who was never going to win us silverware or get promoted. People forget we had just lost Mahrez, he did great to make up for those lost goals and assist through great signings - some of the best in the clubs history, Madison, Ricky, Evans, Soy, Tielemans. The success rate of his signings would be much much higher than the prem average. He trusted young talent a lot too, Barnes, Chilwell, Hamza, Madison, Wilf. He built the foundation for the recent success and our owners switched manager at the right time. He was also excellent against the top 6, ideally Brendan would coach against all the lower teams and Puel against top 6. 5 2

Strangely enough, not unlike Perez, I thought Ghezzal was better played down the middle, which is where he's supposedly having some success now at Fiorentina. Personally, I'd rather play Ghezzal than the hapless Perez though I recognise that would be perhaps an unpopular view. 1
Nicolo Barella Posted 19 August 2020 Posted 19 August 2020 don't mind loaning again as long as we have an obligation to buy this time.
