DerbyshireFox Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 Apparently Chelsea can only register 3 of their new January signings for the Champions League - could be a few noses put out of joint with both new and existing players

When they're unable to get rid of the one or two that inevitably flop or have long term injury problems, and they're being sanctioned the most heavily for breaching FFP, it might not feel like it was such a good strategy. I think some of these transfer fees for players who've never played in England or a top 6 European league are ridiculous too. Maybe they'll prove me wrong, but I really just don't get it. You have your salary cap in the MLB of course. But there are ways and means to cut players far easier than football. Fundamentally you don’t build a team by just throwing a lot of players together and ignoring the big issues of a central defender and a central striker
chapero82 Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 Mad how Forest can sign 3 players in an hour and we can't sign one in a day
Saxondale Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 Those absolute shitclowns Forest have genuinely made their 27th, 28th and 29th signings of the season! 2

Keylor Navas at Forest case and point. 1
oxtonfox Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 Forest have done more deals in the last hour than we’ve done in 31 days. Says it all….

FoxInTheBirstallBox Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 Sky: Nothing happening at Everton We can confirm that Everton have no deal sheets in. That means they will not be making any signings in this window despite selling Anthony Gordon to Newcastle for £40m. 1
Kasey Keller Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 Moshiri has ran off with the £40m for Gordon and hung Dyche out to dry already.
lcfc_forever Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 (edited) Surprised more fringe players haven't left Chelsea - was expecting loan deals for quite a few of them. Edited 31 January 2023 by lcfc_forever 1

It says that Forest have been signing players at the rate of about three per hour for the last two windows, and now they’ve got a squad that’s about the same size as their average attendance. 1

You are only allowed 8 international loans out per season. Next season it gets reduced to 6. That was why Doherty had to have his contract cancelled. Spurs couldn't make another outgoing loan deal as they were already at 8. 1
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 I'm actually amazed Dyche didn't get desperate enough to panic buy Ashley Barnes. 1 1

But there are ways and means to cut players far easier than football. Fundamentally you don’t build a team by just throwing a lot of players together and ignoring the big issues of a central defender and a central striker To be clear, there is no salary cap in MLB. There’s a “luxury tax” - teams above it have to pay a percentage of any additional salary above the tax line in penalties, plus various other disincentives (draft pick forfeiture, international signing limits, etc.) which get more punitive for repeat offenders. Does it function like a salary cap? To an extent, and that’s how it was designed - MLB owners routinely collude and engage in practices which they only get away with because they have an anti-trust exemption no other major sport in the U.S. does. They’re a despicable group. But there are always a few owners who just flaunt the tax and go crazy (Steve Cohen of the Mets is the current poster boy). Edited 31 January 2023 by Deeg67
fazzyfox Posted 1 February 2023 Posted 1 February 2023 Chelsea must have some decisions to make on their 25 man squad, there must be some senior pro’s sitting out the rest of the season now? Should let Ant & Dec make the announcements…”Loftus-Cheek……..you’re going home”

Should let Ant & Dec make the announcements…”Loftus-Cheek……..you’re going home” 90% of the ***** they signed are U21 so they don't have to bother registering them this season. They can only take 3 of their dozen signings on UCL trips though 1
ROB-THE-BLUE Posted 1 February 2023 Posted 1 February 2023 This will be a serious test of Dyche's abilities now. That club is a mess.
Muzzy_no7 Posted 1 February 2023 Posted 1 February 2023 31 signings including loans for Forest. Such a bad precedent for other clubs if they stay up. 2
