Random Rumours

“@Matt_Law_DT: I'm told by people on the outside that if Villa do go for Nicholas Jackson, it will immediately trigger a bid for Morgan Rogers from Chelsea.”

This was said by Matt Law this week.

I was talking to a Villa mate and he said that Rodgers plays CAM and he’s useless on the wings. Surely we are overloaded at CAM?

Sell Felix, Nkunku and Enzo

Felix it seems will go back to Portugal, Nunkuku and Gusto seem to be a package to Bayerns and Enzo likely to RM

Felix will see both and accounting and cash loss. Bayern are said to want to deal of around €100 so if that’s right will see a cash gain and a significant accounting gain and Enzo at the sum being talked out would see a sizeable cash gain and a significant accounting profit.

Move on those 4 and save Gusto who yes played well in the CWC but his presence puts a barrier to club grown talent, I don’t see any squad quality drop

 
Just a point in Kepa. He was bought on a 7 year deal. The rule change re max 5 year amortisation meant that his £10pa finished in 24/25 . The 5 years were already exceeded so that amortisation sum will come off the books for 25/26 . So in accounting therms the £5 million adds to the £10 = an impact of £15 million.

But also when it comes to player costs you now have to also factor in their wages. Amortisation + agent fees ( mainly included in sums to be amortised) + wages

With the rule change to max 5 years amortisation, what happened to the already longer-term signings? Was the change applied retroactively?

No all agreements signed will still run for the agreed term but any subsequent new contract can’t extend the period to over 5 years.

So Kepa 1 year extension after 6 years wouldn’t see the £10 million that remained to be amortised split into £5 million sums in 24/25 &25/26 that would in effect extend it to eight years

What really complicated the matter is that the PL & UEFA do t have the same date as to when the rule change applied .

This is form memory but the restriction kicked in UEFA wise from 1/7/23 & the PL from 1/12/23

Wouldn’t touch him; sample size is just 1 PL. £80m is too much for a player that isn’t a dead cert. Find it weird City, Liverpool, Man United, Arsenal & Tottenham have all signed players in a role he plays but his name hasn’t popped up as a target.

Give me Xavi Simons everyday; I know we have been burnt by duds from the Bundesliga but he isn’t just any player. Came through Barca’s La Masia, played for PSV, PSG and now Leipzig. Doesn’t get more rounded than him.

I don't trust any player from Leipzig anymore. Xavi Simons always looks like a highlights player when I watch him too.

Younes makes a valid point though. He joined Leipzig in the last window and is already looking to leave, and has hired his own super agent to get him a move. Nobody has shown any interest in himso far. Seems similar to the way Felix has gone. Has a whiff of trouble about it, if true.

I’ve watched Simons a few times, I’m still waiting for him to do something. Looks pretty average to me. If we’re going to gamble on a forward player I’d go for Yilidiz from Juve .

Great shout actually

 
Where are they going? When are they leaving? Why were they here?

We need a thread for ALL those players that are still on the books and who need to leave.

I cannot even think of them all. We need a list.

    Broja
    Chillwell
 
🚨🇵🇹 Renato Veiga, still expected to leave Chelsea this summer with permanent move anticipated since June.

Atlético Madrid, Bayern and Premier League clubs all in the race to sign Veiga.

Understand Chelsea want package over €40m for Veiga, while talks with clubs continue.
