Agree - he's pretty consistent and doesn't seem to report stuff without having a decent inside track. Believe he's well connected to the club (and he's local)

So Chelsea and Ath Madrid are selling their players to the other club for the same fee. Why not just swap them for nothing or am I missing something? Does money have to be exchanged to off set PSR for Chelsea? Don't think Chelsea will be in for O'Riley

Teams pay transfer fees over the length of the contract but get the money got incoming transfers in one lump sum.
So yep, a PSR fiddle.

Swapping players is not economically sensible in these times.
If Chelsea sell for £50 million, it will be pure profit being added to the PSR balance sheet, but buying a player for £50million on a 5 year deal can be offset as £10 million per year on the balance sheet.
Therefore, In the short run, selling 1 player for a lot of money allows you to buy several more expensive players and keep within the rules.
However, in the long run it may become unsustainable, unless lots of players from your academy come good. That is why many big teams, (the Manchester's, Arsenal, Chelsea and dare I say, Brighton) are trying to recruit lots of the worlds talent to their academies and U21s.)
How does that work if all clubs are doing it ?

It works for everyone because the incoming sum is upfront but the outgoing one is staggered. Pushes the debt down the road in PSR termsHow does that work if all clubs are doing it ?
Yeah I know but that’s not what that post says
I wouldn’t say it’s a fiddle. It’s been the way in football and every other sector for decades that the cost of acquiring assets are amortised over the estimates useful life, in this case contract length.
It makes sense.

Because Denmark have pretty decent players. We can pretend we have some kind of superiority over Brentford but their two central midfielders are excellent and proven and Denmark's only really genuine number 10 is a God to them who was literally resurrected. It's hardly Malta.
Who are we in for Matt O Riley or Matt O'Riley?
Damn, wrong thread!

Just looked at their Euro 24 team and they had a really good midfield. Didn't realise that even the bench was so strong.
They do, but the Danes were still really angry about O'Riley being left out.
He got all ‘Danish’ just over two years ago when he obviously realised that his English or Norwegian team chances were limited. Do the Danes need to see more of him?
I’m guessing that the Danish player selectors are not too keen on a Londoner late to the party with only a few Danish words being given an easy time when it comes to selection? They probably want to see him perform in a top league rather than the MTL although assists against Lazio and Atheletico suggest he’d be fine with a step-up in quality.
For me, his versatility is telling. He looks comfortable at inverted right wing as well as defensive midfielder. A player who can thrive in Hürzeler’s ‘position swapping’ masterplan.
Ah, exactly what I thought when I read it!How does that work if all clubs are doing it ?
