KingsX Posted 3 February 2022 Posted 3 February 2022 A few financial notes from the January window... - Premier League clubs (£295M) spent nearly as much as those in La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 combined (£317M) - Newcastle accounted for nearly a third of that PL spending - The majority of PL clubs kept their powder dry - Nine spent nothing on transfer fees, and two others (Burnley and Man City) had negative net spends - Spurs would also recoup more than they spent IF Dele becomes a regular at Everton

filbertway Posted 3 February 2022 Posted 3 February 2022 Jesus, i'd probably retire from football if I'm being left out of the squad for Manquillo or a Dummett that can't stay fit 1

davieG Posted 4 February 2022 Author Posted 4 February 2022 Should players that are left out of squads be allowed to leave on a free outside the transfer window, I guess ii would be difficult to another club at the same level but sitting around not playing for months on end is not helping their careers.

I think that's poor. Some won't be playing in European away legs soon. There was a very good professor on Question Time last night that really explained it very well to a couple of 'hesitant' audience members. Still quite a few that need to be educated, it seems. 1

Pre 25 man squads, there have always been a number of players who trained but never got a sniff of playing - the difference with these guys is that they know that they don’t have to keep their fitness up as they won’t be playing. But presumably they will be part of everyday training if they so choose. is there an option for them to have their contracts paid up and be released ?? some of the newcastle boys don’t have a future there.

That's what I was thinking of. You could allow them to be named as reserves and be included in the named squads as injury replacements.

Great question. The key point here is do the clubs and players have to agree or does this only require the players agreement. I suspect this is more topical for the biggest richest clubs. From a players point of view I think it’s a good idea but clubs they only have to wait six months to sort out the issue and many are prepared to sit on their assets. That said smaller clubs would probably be interested as finances are tighter. Does anyone know if this has been considered by the authorities/ legalities? I’m guessing at present this would have to be an agreement in the contract.
