Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours thread

to be honest, I can see this ending in court. Can’t see how UEFA can stop clubs amortising cost over the length of contracts and dictating length of contracts is against European law. So…..

 

they can try.

the ffp rules can be anything uefa want them to be.

 

It’s not dictating length of contract. Can still give contracts of 8 years, but they’re saying for ffp purposes can only spread the cost over max of 5.

 

Rest of Europe apparently have the 5 year rule imposed by their FA, for some reason we never bothered.

 

What if we highlighted targets but it just didn't materialise for whatever reason?

I've repeatedly said, I'd rather go without if we can't get the player we want.

 

I know what you are saying but......

galkpo? really the only one we wanted or the one we thought would go up in value.

wijnaldum. can't believe he was the only choice but rather the distressed goods that was... well value for money.

etc
etc
etc

we are not and never have been a club that goes touchameni or nowt. Bellingham or nowt. etc etc etc.

 

If day we have two or three targets in mind. We missed out on that in the summer

 

New Brighton's a bit of a step down.

 

Brighton reject Arsenal's £60m bid for Caicedo.

I wonder if this forces our hand and we put in a bid, or we accept defeat as we can't afford him.

 

We rather wait for summer.

 

If we can’t afford to strengthen the midfield, we are lost. Look at the amount of investment going into top ten clubs, apart from us.

 

no I don't think it will.

the player got a new agent last week and this is part of the big push to get his big move.

same as the interview where suddenly he is in the media saying how focused he is on Brighton.

it's easy make up rejected bids so it might suit Brighton to not even acknowledge if a bid actually went in.

Brighton are asking 75 and will accept 65. that's the rumour anyway.

cheslea rumour was 55 verbally (thus no proof either way) and now we find this 60mil one.

lfc may or may not be in contact with this agent but will be saying thanks for the info and thinking about what's going on.


Brighton wants sell this window unless the offer is right and really if cheslea are nearby then they will want to push.

however... if new ffp rules are coming in their long contracts mean nothing and they are already up **** creek for ffp.

so only time will tell.

 

No

 

Fixed term contracts in football are permissible in European law.

 

NEW: Liverpool and Chelsea are set to go head to head in the race to sign Sheffield United midfiedler Sander Berge before the January transfer window closes. #lfc [simon phillips]

 

yes, I mean that UEFA cannot dictate the length because that would be illegal

 

the only thing that gives me hope there is cheslea included in the rumour.

there's no freaking way Chelsea are going from Enzo Fernández and caideo to berge

 

and they are not so you are both right.

cheslea are just screwed on ffp and must recalc

 

Sorry, I must have misread your comment.

As others have said, UEFA seems to be able to do whatever it likes.
