Yeah you’re right, we’re rubbish at this signing players thing. It’s been a tough few years following Brighton what with our disappointing transfer windows.

Are our transfer windows always disappointing ? Aren't they a bit like the quip by the Chinese Premier (actually debunked quip as it turned out) about the consequences of the 1789 French Revolution - "too soon to tell".

I didn't say we were rubbish at signing players.
Last summer and January were very disappointing though.
Still, well done for getting your sarcastic comment in first.

Brentford and Brighton race to sign Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - sources
Football Insider has learned Brentford and Brighton are racing to sign Leicester City star Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall this summer.
If we want to sign both Dewsbury-Hall and Summerville,I would imagine it would cost us in the region £70m. I think we need to do both deals before the 30th June as it would appear on the same set of accounts as the likes of Caicedo and Sanchez. That would help us keep out of trouble of future PSR (or whatever its called) trouble.

That's the spirit !! As we were after KDH in January, I'd suggest it's not bollocks to think we might still be after him. As for Summerville, very likely he's off, quite plausible we're interested, so will others. If you find transfer speculation annoying I'd suggest a couple of months off NSC !!

Thank you for this. It’s what I was thinking too but thought I may have got it wrong. It makes sense to get deals done before 30th June, if we can.
Neither will want to come to us - simple as that. But I stand to be corrected.

If you sell the asset (player) before it is fully depreciated (amortised) then in the (accounting) year of sale the profit & loss account will record a cost of the balance remaining - called NBV (Net Book Value).
So what's Gross book valur then?
At least I think that's how it works from my A-level accountancy memories of 1987.
PSR runs over a 3 season rolling period. Teams can’t make a net loss of more that £105m over this period (although admittedly, there a loop-holes and avoidence techniques).
According to Transfermarkt, we’ve made an estimated net profit on transfers of £172m in this last 3 season period. This does not include compensation for our non-playing staff.
So unless we’re thinking of spunking £277m over the next two weeks, there is not any worry of us getting into trouble with PSR.

These aren't the players you're looking for.

They're a couple of Championship players, not Champions league winners.
I'm thinking more about the future. If we buy our big money signings by 30th June. It gives us more scope for the next 3 sets of accounts.
I dont think we are going to sell many more players for £100m+, so using it to counter balance our PSR as much as possible makes sense to me.

That depends entirely on how Ferguson, Enciso, Baleba etc push on next season. Not to mention if Estupiñan and/or Mitoma regain form they'll each be worth £50-80m
There's a few in the squad with extremely high ceilings, just a matter of them reaching that level.
But why didn't we actually sign him (or try harder to sign him) in January if we were serious? Instead we (allegedly) offered £20 million, right at the end of the January window - which was half what they wanted in order to sell and gave them no time to get in a replacement. There were no other teams in for him then and we still had Europe. It's much more difficult now!
Leicester made it their priority to get promoted. This involved digging their heels in and keeping their best player.
The mission has now changed.
The priority (until the end of June) is now avoiding a points deduction for next season.
I think it’s easier now. I don’t think we have anything like the competition for signings we’ll have come the 1st of July because of PSR.
We might not have as much difficulty grabbing players who were in the Championship last season as many believe.
But do we really want moody players who have been offloaded by their clubs through necessity - but given the
choice wouldn't have come near us? I'm not so sure.
