[Football] The Transfer Window 'Mini Deadline Day 30 June'

[Mancgull]

Forget KDH! He wouldn't come/Leicester wouldn't sell in January. His wages will be well above ours anyway, and as is the way with PL footballers and their agents, the idea of a pay cut is completely unthinkable.

I don’t think his wages are the issue. If they weren’t in Jan they won’t be now. I think it’s more the fact that his sights may be set higher than us.
We’ll see this week. I expect we’ll wait until towards the end of This week, make a bid and see if Leicester need to sell.
If we go for him before then we are likely to be gazumped. I think we have the same strategy for Summerville.
Will be an interesting week.

I suspect his wages were an issue back in January - or would have been if Leicester had been willing to sell.

I think we can forget singing ANY player from the PSR cheating cartel now.

It’s much more financially beneficial for them to swap players between each other. They massively over inflate their value and stick it straight on the 23/24 balance sheet.

The latest in Minty to Forest in exchange for Elanga. I suspect the value of those players will be eye watering.

In the EPL, rich cheats prosper it would seem. Chelsea can sign whoever they want, whenever they want and City are untouchable.

Premier League writes to clubs over 'swap deal' concerns

The Premier League writes to its clubs to clarify rules regarding the fair valuation of players involved in 'swap deals'

www.bbc.co.uk

The Premier League has written to its clubs to explain its rules regarding the fair valuation of players involved in transfers after “a significant number requested clarification” following recent swap deals.

It came amid concerns some clubs may be looking to sell each other players in order to exploit a potential loophole in Profit & Sustainability Rules (PSR), which limit losses, before an accounting deadline on Sunday.

In the letter the Premier League warns that part of a transfer fee would have to be returned by the selling club if it decides a fee has been “inflated”.

 

[Reddleman]

Right. I am caveating this with the usual the club know what they are doing, trust Tony etc which others will no doubt chime in with, BUT from the outside it would seem a really missed trick if we don’t use this PSR window to add real quality and affordable prices. KDH isn’t happening so I hope we had other options lined up.

Liverpool have turned down a proposal from Newcastle United which involved Anthony Gordon joining the Reds and Jarell Quansah moving in the opposite direction as part of the deal.

The Anfield club did not view the deal as being right for them, even though 23-year-old forward Gordon is a player they admire.

Interesting from Brentford.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Interesting from Brentford.

If Leeds sell Gray, they’ll apparently solve their PSR worries for 23/24. Essentially that means we won’t be able to find an agreement for Summerville as they’d hold out for very big money.

 

[pigmanovich]

Interesting from Brentford.

A bit concerned this could turn out to be a great signing! But I’m sure we’ll have considered him, hardly an obscure player.

 

[Hiheidi]

Looks like more teams interested in Gray and Brentford deal may be off.

 

[Mancgull]

Archie Gray to Brentford is like our pursuit of KDH.
Make a bid and then the big boys wake up.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

I see Newcastle are now selling Anderson to Forest for £35m allegedly. I wonder if they could yet ‘do a Leeds’ and pull out?(of the Minteh deal)

 

[Hugo Rune]

Looks like more teams interested in Gray and Brentford deal may be off.

The other theory is that someone is going to buy Summerville. Apparently they have to sell one big player to meet PSR. I think they are running two auctions and will look to only sell one.

Looks like it was Tottenham.

 

[BevBHA]

Looks like it was Tottenham.

In fairness , Spurs do need a right back. It’s not the same as the KDH to Chelsea as they don’t need a misfielxer

 

[Hiheidi]

So Spurs - Leeds did a player swap type deal too (along with Villa - Juventus, Villa - Everton, Villa - Chelsea, Chelsea - Leicester and Newcastle - Forest)!

Expect the circumstances here were slightly different as Tottenham do not have PSR concerns and Leeds genuinely wanted Rodon to join permanently.

The fee Leeds agreed with Brentford was £35m. Presumably the swap element is what helped them secure a £40m fee from Spurs a day later?

Probably, I just mean that whereas I doubt some of these other players were key targets of the clubs they have now joined making Rodon's loan permanent was very much in Leeds's plans.
