Bully Wee Villa Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Zaha going back to Palace on loan by the sound of it, wouldn't have minded him at Villa. Good player and also massive shithouse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 8 minutes ago, Barry Ferguson's Hat said: Except Cold Palmer Cold Palmer is perhaps the most obvious example where you can really see the benefit of those highly paid celebration coaches to his brand. I'm told he stays behind after training to work one on one with the guy and apparently it costs Chelsea something like 57k a month. But when you look at how Palmer has become utterly synonymous with pretending to be a bit chilly, it's money well spent for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 More sensible use of finds from Chelsea who have presumably upped #Cold Palmers wedge whilst extending his contract from a nowhere near long enough 2031 to a much more reasonable 2033. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Just found out that Steve Cooper's the Leicester manager. I'm quite disappointed that I've been denied the rare delight of tuning into the first Match of the Day of the season and getting surprised by a team's manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Slot surprised Zubiemendi turned down Liverpool. The guy had recently turned down Bayern, Barca and Arsenal Deluded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 (edited) Our wide players will tear apart anyone in this league, but we still need a striker, a goalkeeper and more than a couple of absolute psychopaths in the defence and midfield. I'm talking about a Dennis Wise, or a Ron 'Chopper' Harris. Edited August 14 by AMMjag 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he'd need to personally buy out his own contract with Sociedad to let this go through Which makes matters more complicated than with a conventional release clause 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking more about the fact he turned down three better teams. No idea why Liverpool thought it was a done deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically that amounts to spending the transfer fee on a huge signing on bonus It's possible that Financial Fair play/Profit & Sustainability would let you amortise a transfer fee paid to a club but not a bonus paid to a player. It's also possible that UK and French tax authorities simply treat this situation differently I'll dig around and see what I can find out Edited August 14 by topcat(The most tip top) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musketeer Gripweed Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Looks like Sociedad can't match the figures for a new contract Liverpool were offering when the deal was still alive. He might not be quite as homesick once his agent has a word in his ear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anyone at Liverpool thought it was done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
