Jhon Lucumi - Transfer Rumour

[Antidotes]

would love a here we go and Everton beating Leeds the night

 

[herra soul mob]

reckon he saw us on Motd on Sarrada and thought fuck it I need a slice of that.

I am missing Matt Piper from Leicester. Good winger and great lad. Read that he actally deferred his wages due to his injuries . Told a funny story on Roker Report about Jason McAteer .He ordered a pizza and was asked if he wanted it sliced into 4 pieces or 8 .Deffo 4 pieces,i don't think i could manage 8 !!!

He made a big mistake there apparently. Offered to defer his wages to help the club out who were struggling at the time. He done that thinking his insurance would cover his lost wages when he retired through injury. But because he retired on a recurring problem he wasn't covered. Insurance only paid out on new injuries or something

So he lost a few hundred grand

does anyone know - and i'm sure it's probably been discussed elsewhere on here - but where is all this spending coming from? Is it KLD family backing us? or someone else? or are we just borrowing the cash? We never "spent" our way out of L1 or the Championship so i always assumed there wasn't really any benefactor behind us...and obviously we had to spend money now to have a chance of bridging the gap from Champ to Prem...just genuinely curious as to what/where the financial situation is

These transfer fees will be paid in instalments, not all paid now. So a lot of it will be covered by future premier league prize/TV money etc.

There will be an element of owner investment, but not as much as it may seem imo

 

[Lord Lucan]

Definitely be part of it

And I do think that signing Lucumi will be the catalyst for a huge striker - I’d love to know what ‘project’ is getting these signings over the line but this is beyond my wildest dreams.

Even in the halcyon days of Peter Reid did it feel this insane - we were close but this is bonkers.

My memory was he signed for an additional year but agreed to be paid the same amount that was remaining on his years he had left. So if he had 2 years left he increased it to 3 years but was getting paid the original 2 years amount over the 3 year period. If that makes sense.

The other story about McAteer – again, probably apocryphal – is that he was in Sheffield and saw Jimmy White on the other side of the road.

So he shouted ‘Hey, Jimmy! One hundred and eiiiiighty!’

We took out a line of credit earlier this year I believe.

Erm the absolutely massive prize for winning the play off final

We want the ale we want the ale

 

[ajryan86]

I think after the PSG lad arrived, Xhaka being captain and the result at the weekend... A few more players will want to be part of the club.

Eeeeee Aletaster was right all along

Let's say we go down this season, we'd have received about an extra £200m+ because of our year in the PL and parachute payments. Then we have sold Jobe, Watson and Ekwah for about £45m. This is after being fairly close to breaking even due to Clarke and Stewart sales the last few years.

If we go down we'd have to sell, but it wouldn't be a financial disaster.

Lauriente sacking his agent as we speak!

It would be pretty bad!
