Other Clubs Transfers Gossip 2023

Probably their last big signing. After the loophole closes they can't do this anymore which is why they rather activate the release clause now

Claudius

I don’t understand why this is a loophole. These expenses will always flow through their income statement whether now or 5 years out. Good for them

I would rather hit someone for inflating revenue. That’s the stuff that make’s competition difficult. So Juventus-Barca with their swaps, and City with their related sponsorships.

Claudius not technically a loophole, but I guess the FFP wasn't tailored for such long contracts. UEFA rules state that contracts can't be longer than 5 years unless said country specifies otherwise. England is one of those countries, so the FFP rules should be changed so that it's fair between the countries. For example, that no matter if the contract is longer, for FFP purposes the fee will be distributed on a maximum of five years.

lorddulaarsenal

:lol: done the lad a favour there to be fair

HomeSteak

this will get done.

KingslandBarge

HomeSteak car crash of a loan as he's still not recovered from his injury I think?

There was an indication on social media that 4-5 players are unhappy with Pep (I think over playing time). Might be a behavioural issue that led to the Cancelo loan.

QuincyAbeyie

Let's pull a Mudryk on Enzo.

goon

No doubting he's a good player but Is he really THAT good? I actually thought Mac Allistar looked better at the World Cup.

Can't help but wonder if this is mostly hype.

Clrnc

goon I think he's better than Macallister and have a higher ceiling too.

There's a reason why everyone is swirling over Caicedo and not MacAllister

HomeSteak

Liverpool looking for midfilders as well, Arturo Melo did not work out for them ha?

Clrnc

Bayern signs Cancelo. That's so weird and out of the blue

QuincyAbeyie

Weird how he went from the best fullback in the league to City's bench so quickly.

Clrnc

QuincyAbeyie fell behind Ake too. Something is wrong given that he is one of the highest pick FPL player lol

JazzG

Guessing he must have fallen out with the coach? He's been so good for them, was keeping Zinchenko out of the side.

goon

Surprising move mid season but big show of faith in Rico Lewis.

Have to say I know he hasn't been great but I'm pleased to see it. Always half worried that the likes of Cancelo would kick into gear in the second half of the season.

Clrnc

KingslandBarge yeah Bernardo and Gundogan has wanted to leave for awhile now.

samthegooner

Seems like a very odd move at this point in the window though. They already don't have great depth at fullback and now they're getting rid of Cancelo, who was one of their top players over the last two years even if his form hasn't been at that level this season. It's banking a lot on Rico Lewis, who has looked good but is still only 18.

James

Getting £70m for a player who you may not see in your long term plans is also brilliant business for them. Lewis, whilst fairly poor against us, does look fantastic. And Ake has been playing well.

I would say that bodes quite well for us in the short term though.

Pepe LeFrits

70 million euro, not GBP. Is it a mandatory buy option? They might not take it up if he doesn't recover his form, which would be the ideal outcome. It's a big chunk of change for a full-back who will be 29 by the summer.

goon

Yeah does feel like something you'd just agree to so you can get the loan over the line.

City have been very good at selling at the right time though. Inflated commercial deals aside, it's one of the reasons why they've been able to keep net spend lower.
