But it's a loan and that is not the way to rebuild the club.
We've maxed out re FFP so loan best option. That's reason Amavi went on loan so that we have his 9 million next summer to help balance the books then

So if the FFP is hindering us why go for another midfielder where we have about a dozen players and  we need cover in attack and defence?

Like PSG and Neymar, sometimes it's worth breaking the rules to get a extra ordinary talent.

Correct. Snodgrass would be a decent signing but not in a place we need if that makes sense.

Not happy with this one, we've just won by having pace and power in the attacking third and Snodgrass brings neither of those.

He's a good player but he's not remotely what we need, seems like we're signing him because we can not because he beings something we need.

How does that work?

It's calculated over a rolling three year period. So if we had sold him this summer it would have been in our "plus column" until summer 2020.

Why do we keep brining in players to play in the same positions?

We're planning ahead for our 2021 Division 2 campaign.

Not if we get points deducted.

If Adomah was sold then it wouldn't be a great loss at all tbh.

That's some excellent comic timing.
