I think Grealish is excellent but thats one of the most ridiculous transfer fees ever if true.
She’d take him to the cleaners, otherwise.
I saw The Firm's GIF then read Nomad's post as "more evidence ftp is dead" and thought "what a nerd" ... which probably makes me a nerd
Man City potentially dropping 260 million on two players after 16 months of no attendance income is yet another one for the 'football is dead' file
Yeah, but :
“At the prices (quoted) we are not going to buy any strikers. It is impossible, we cannot afford it,” Guardiola said. “All clubs are struggling financially, we are not an exception."

Still, that was 3 weeks ago, a lot can change in 3 weeks

He’s a lying, dog shagging, thundercunt.
Apparently Schalke can't afford Kabak's wages and are considering terminating his contract.
& We/Klopp don't even want him on a free.
In other news Thomas Partey picked up another injury in Arsenal's pre season today, ankle injury and said to be 4-6 weeks out.
Another Naby Keita this boy.

You have to wonder if there is some issue with him. I mean, it was only a few weeks ago that Leicester had apparently agreed a deal. As I recall there were a few other clubs mentioned (Palace, possibly?). Unless maybe they became aware that he would probably end up as a free agent and decided to wait it out.
Maybe the level of wages is the problem - someone gave him excessive contract terms which he's perhaps trying to maintain, and no-one wants to be bound by them?
Maybe he wants to join us permanently?
I thought he did pretty well overall, a few shaky moments but expected from a 20 year old...he's 1 of the reasons we were able to push on and get 3rd.
When a player's on high wages and his club wants rid there's usually a deal to be done where the selling club pays a proportion of the wage for the remainder of his unexpired contract with them, or else they pay him a lump sum to do one.
That's often why you see these kinds of players signing short-term contracts with their new club - the new club doesn't want to commit to paying the higher wages over an extended contract, but will pay him what they think he's worth for a few years with the selling club making up the difference. If the player does well at his new club then they can obviously talk about extending the deal / matching the terms over a longer period.
Don't believe any of this bollocks you sometimes read about a player "accepting a pay cut" to move to a new club. His old club will almost certainly be making up the difference.
I'm sure he does! But if it is the case that we don't even want him for free then he will be aware of that.
I guess he might want to be a free agent I suppose and be turning down other offers.
But yeah, he did fine. Ultimately from being desperate for centre backs before though we now seem to have loads so I'm more concerned about other positions now.
Wasn't that the case with Leeds all those years ago when they ended up skint and had to sell everyone?
I vaguely remember the stories that they were still paying wages years after players had left
Leeds was before my time in football but it wouldn't surprise me in the least, although they ended up going into administration and that may have allowed them to get rid of some of their outstanding wage liabilities at that time. I was actually working for a major accountancy firm when Leeds went bust and I remember the insolvency guys saying they had spoken to their colleagues in Leeds and they had been told from on high not to go after the Leeds job as football insolvencies were so toxic, reputationally speaking.
Because they’re shit.
Palace signed 2 other centre backs for £18m or something. Each.
We'd better.
The amendments to FFP because of Covid have made the gap between the have and have not even worse. 260m on two players that's crazy...somewhat similar to the pre covid days peak days when PSG bought Neymar and Mbappe.
We will probably sell both of them right at the end of the transfer window
