Popular Post AjcW Posted 10 August 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 10 August 2020 Forgive me, not a rumour... Every season there's so much mad panic on here and constant wondering about what on earth goes on with transfers, fees, structure of deals etc. So last year I bought 'Done Deal' by Daniel Geey, a sports Lawyer, I'd definitely recommend it. Fortunately if you CBA you don't have to buy it, he's also got a really useful blog. https://www.danielgeey.com/blog/ a podcast https://anchor.fm/daniel-geey and did a decent summary article for GQ https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/what-really-goes-on-behind-the-scenes-of-a-big-football-transfer Reading the Trincao thread, this one is especially interesting: https://www.danielgeey.com/post/football-amortisation-chelseas-50m-luiz-profit/. If we reference the Trincao deal, Barca are paying 50m euros for him, and offsetting that at 10m euros a year on their accounts during his 5 year contract, whilst loaning him to us for two seasons, perhaps at a cost of lets say... 5m euros a season... means they make 10m from us, don't have to pay his wages etc etc. That helps ease the financial impact on them whilst they're struggling and it means they either get a great player back in two years who they can keep or sell for a massive profit, or they decide they don't want him and probably sell him to us for the remaining value on their balance sheet. It's a no lose situation for them. I find this stuff really interesting and definitely helps with 'patience' and 'understanding' when it comes to coping with the transfer window.... something I think a lot of people on here need Also worth a follow is The Swiss Ramble https://twitter.com/SwissRamble does a lot on club finances. Interesting 'secret footballer' article too; https://www.planetfootball.com/in-depth/transfer-really-happens-contract-looks-secret-footballer/ Anyone got any other decent sources of info for the more technical side of transfers? Oh and In anticipation for the 'thanks Daniel' responses... 'You're welcome ' 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
