Jhon Lucumi - Transfer Rumour

[AC Mack]

Hail the ale.

 

[Madcap11]

feeling overwhelmed with those so many signings. Im not used to that.

 

[The Situation]

f***ing hell, it's only settled down after the last few weeks.

I'll be red raw again if we get this one over the line too

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

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

We have a loan facility with Akira BV, a Dutch financial institution which is part of the, er, Louis-Dreyfus Group.

Does Kyril have a direct involvement with the Louis-Dreyfus Group, or is it all his Mother?

Would they be classed as a connected party for FFP purposes?

It's going to be pretty dull once the window closes and there's a two week break. I've got 4 months of work to catch up with mind.

All his mother. KLD has no involvement in the family companies. Not a connected party as they own no shares. Patrick Treuer (the Louis-Dreyfus CFO) is on the board, but that's not enough to trigger a connection.

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.

and high wages from Bellingham so that covers as well. He have 2 years left on a contract right?

 

[Bg86]

Wait what

 

[MrParsnip]

Wait what

Fuckin mental, isn't it?

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Is Lucumi left-footed or just usually plays as left centre-back?

We're going to end up with mentally good options all over the pitch at this rate.

 

[The Situation]

Bologna have already signed his replacement.

This "determined not to let him go" craic is a PR stunt after already losing a few players this summer.

Next step will be forcing him into a transfer request/publically announcing he wants to go, and they can then say "we did all we can" so the fans target him as opposed to the club.

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

Think this is it:

This was to bridge between the timing of the signings and the premier league TV money coming in.

It tends to be fairly quick when Romano is tweeting about it. I don't think we're in a rush given how comfortable Ballard and Alderete looked though.
