“Traore recall is an obvious solution for Emery, who had made a winger a priority this month. With prices for his targets v high, bringing a player back who is already contracted to the club makes sense so he can see him up close. Villa intend to do their main business in summer”

Next window, eh. Who'd have thought.

The next window though is massively different to this one. I don’t want the club overspending on players. We’ve done plenty of that over the years. But you’d have thought we could have for someone in for a decent price that actually improves us.

With FFP the wealth of our owners is somewhat irrelevant. Also when we got promoted 4 years ago i did not expect to see such quality in the squads of Brighton, Fulham and Brentford.

It doesn't seem to be irrelevant for any other team. We also made £100m profit on one player 18 months ago, and have cleared out a lot of players such that we couldn't actually put out a proper full squad in the last league game.

FFP really doesn't seem to be all it is cracked up to be and I do not believe it's holding us back.

I posted a Swiss Ramble review of Chelsea's spending a week or so ago and there are so many parameters involved that a smart club is not likely to run foul of FFP (or they are perfectly willing to pay the nominal penalty).

Bert back makes sense - also maybe Davies?

I've no problem with Ings being sold, just not at a value where WHU think they've got the better of the deal. I'd have thought £25 mill was closer to what he's worth to a relegation threatened team.

Agreed, £12m plus add-ons up to £3m is very generous. I doubt very much we'll see the extra £3m, certainly not if it's based on first team starts.

Its based on them staying up so we will see it.

Announcing to the world at the beginning of the window we had billions to spend on João Felix may not have worked in our advantage. That said, the PL does seem to be the golden goose for all European league clubs with a half decent player to sell; whatever you can get in your local market - at least double it.

Idiot in Sky Sports saying the period over which Chelsea pay for Fernandez will have FFP  implications.
Twat.

It's true.
That’s not how amortisation works , it’s the price paid divided by the term of the contract. The period you take to buy the player is irrelevant.

So we started off the window with links to Danjuma, Guendouzi, Felix, David and ended up with Moreno, Duran and the return of Bert who’s having to be helped down the Air Turkiye plane steps as he’s on crutches.

We did allow that chump Gerrard to spend £80m on players though.  Maybe that is it.
The greasy money and the Gerrard appointment.

What actually happened to Bert's knee. I don't see anything official?

I'm in the "this is fucking shit" camp, for most of the reasons mentioned by others.

Liverpool and Chelsea won't be this shit next season.

Sure, but Brighton, Brentford and Fulham are unlikely to be this good either. Levels of hysteria on here are pretty wild lads, have to be honest
I haven't seen much hysteria.  I've seen a number of people a bit pissed off that we seem to be leaving ourselves very exposed in terms of squad depth and possibly missing a big opportunity for a really high league finish this season.  Kamara, Martinez and Luiz won't wait forever and finishing 10-12 isn't going to attract the next crop.

Spot on.
