Yes, I thought something like that. Needed to work on his decision making a bit, I think!

[Albion] Kacper Kozłowski SINGS a four-and-a-half year deal

Dismembered
yes that would be a concern, though if there were that many doubts about his attitude he’d be sold this summer anyway. tbh i don’t think anyone outside of kacper and some people at the club know what really happened there, so i’ll reserve judgement for now

We all know they don’t all come off - but you’ve got to buy a ticket and all that. As for a transfer loss, meh, we’ll claw back a little from the sale and lots has been amortised anyway. Accounting wise given the remaining length of his contract, it’s very likely a profit for PSR purposes.
The idea remains, use analytics and scouting networks to identify high potential targets, buy them and increase their value for sale (to Chelsea
) - one in 7-8 of these needs to work to cover all the failed prospects.
We’ve come a long way, makes you proud.

We've nothing to gain except a hefty loss by selling him now. We should give him a chance - but just make it a bloody tough one, and if he doesn't like it, tough!

I really don’t think it would be a “hefty loss” in real terms. We are reported widely as paying £8m, on a four year contract from 2022-2026. For accounting purposes, simplistically he would’ve had half of that fee amortised, leaving £4m on the books. Therefore, any fee we receive is deductible against that. If we got a couple of million, that would be set against the remaining £4m leaving the resulting figure as the reported loss.
However, loan fees are also offset against PSR, so if we received anything from his loans elsewhere (many clubs want a loan fee instead of wages being paid - that way they can add them as profits on the financials) so they would also be included.
For example, Fati with us. He might be earning let’s say for simplicity’s sake £100k p/w. We might pay them a loan fee of £10m with Barcelona continuing to pay his wages. That way they can register a £10m “profit”, despite actually paying his wages and spending the same amount.
In accounting terms it might not be a heavy loss. In real terms ....... the money's gone.

Victoria Gyökeres and Leo Ostigard both did okay at St Pauli I think and Ostigard also had a productive loan at Genoa
There does seem to be something negative about most overseas loans though, apart from the ones that were needed for work permit issues (which, TBH, was most of the USG ones too) - more of them....Karbownik, Scherpen, Alzate for example....... seem to be 'out on loan in the hope that somebody bites' rather than developing them.
Maybe that's just my perception, I won't die on that particular hill. But if Kozlowski goes anywhere other than an (grim northern town) EFL loan, I will feel I've reinforced my perception!

I’m not sure that would be the club’s view but it fits the outcomes

Yeah mine too, have a few Pogon mates who were fuming when we signed him
Very highly. He played for Poland in the Euros in 2021. Lamine Yamal just beat his record as the youngest ever player to appear in the finals.
He seems to have gone backwards instead of forwards since we signed him.
A living example of the folly of allowing a player to remain in his comfort zone and not pushing him somewhere to test him?
