2024 January transfer window - hopes, needs, expectations and rumours.

True but there’s clearly some ‘interpretation’ going on with how different clubs are treated and/or how clubs apply the rules.

Suspect it's more the points deduction Everton got that has finally focused hearts and minds across PL boardrooms.

[Dante Lavelli]

From what I’ve read Everton we’re given plenty of warnings and advice on how to avoid sanctions but they kept signing new players each window anyway,

The league arguably shouldn’t have any influence in how a club is run but these rules appear to open that door. Comply and you’ll be okay, be too ambitious and we will deduct 10 points.

Fin gone official. Undisclosed fee.

I feel a bit sorry for Plymouth here. In fact I think they have been treated badly.

Me, too.
I’d guess they were given the option of signing him first, though

Interesting thread on our FFP/P&S here.

That is interesting.

The most interesting bit I took away from it was the North Stand development and the loss of revenue for the time we were without it. Ticket and merchandise etc. could make a significant difference as to whether we can afford to sign a player or not over the next 2 or 3 years.

His estimate was £4m per year, and that's based on current numbers. Put the prices up next season of course and we have increased room to play with when we're (hopefully) going to launch a Champions League campaign.

I imagine we were happy to sell to whoever offered the most.

I'd expect Middlesbrough are in a position to offer him more attractive terms than Plymouth would as well.

Hopefully we get at lest 1 loan signing - and a couple of players to leave

I'm sure they are all gutted at Plymouth, he's been very popular, but unfortunately they couldn't afford him.

I would be incredibly appreciative if someone could copy & past the whole ten posts from the thread to H&V please?

I don't have a Twitter account, or whatever the fuck its called now, & for some reason, while I can see the initial tweet, it wants me to sign up to be able to read the following 9 tweets.

And I would rather fuck a cheese grater than do anything to help Elon Musk, in any way, shape or form...

Thanks in advance...

Why?

If they were given an opportunity to match the conditions of the Boro sale, then I don't see why they have been treated badly.

If they weren't given that opportunity, then it's up to them to offer us what they think Azaz would be worth to them & go from there, as soon as they know he is being recalled & sold,

Just like any other club during a transfer.

In fact, they got promoted off the back of one of our players last hear & are arguably closer to safety than they would have been this year, in part due to the efforts of two of our players...
