Why does it matter? £160k a week for 2 years is £16m. Is that any worse than paying £16m transfer fee for a much lesser player then £40k a week in wages for 2 years? All that matters is the Total Cost of Ownership It matters because if I’m Esteve’s agent and I see us paying 160k then I’m going to b...

And depending on the contract they are on cost minimum 30-50 million and are on 100k plus a week......

Was surprised to see in The Athletic that we are paying Walker £160k a week. I’d be surprised if we’ve even broke 100k a week in the past.

And there we are...a fine example where the majority of fans are viewed as idiots I didn’t say idiots, I said seduced. I’m not saying there’s a problem in that. The club had started to get stale.

what's the difference between them owing us X million that we can't use and Garlick hoarding it in the bank and not using it.

Well, hypothetically, a £20m ‘return’ could be a new Cricket Field stand. Adds more value to the stadium, and club, plus makes it more attractive for investors. It’s possible the £100m could be ‘returned’ upon a sale, e.g. in 2035 the club does a Brighton and is sold on for £400m, the £100m owed co...

A striker who can score 10-12 goals in the PL is probably worth £20m in todays market (probably more). So I don’t think the question is whether Josh Sargeant is worth £20m. It’s whether the club scouts and coaches think he could score 10-12 goals in our team. If they don’t, then there’s no point in...

I can’t see us selling Sonne after 6 months. Or Sambo. Loans for those guys for development. Also wouldn’t shock me if some of the above go to Espanyol on loan, again to build their fee.

When you say significant changes to the changing rooms, do you mean upgrades/refit?

Saw the Toronto link. His call, but clearly a financial decision if that’s where he goes. He’ll be in a midfield alongside the colossus that is Matty Longstaff (last seen bouncing around League Two).

Not sure how 2 years is a risk? If we drop, he plays at a lower level in the Championship.

Besiktas. If the wage of 6m a year is accurate that would explain why we aren’t in for him.

I’ve been thinking the same thing. Maybe depends if Spurs have taken our approach and want a settled coaching staff? If they do, perhaps he’d prefer to stay and have stability. I think it’d be good having that bit of experience being around the Premier League for the last couple of seasons though. ...

There’s no evidence to support that.

When you factor in wages and all of the other operating costs. How are the fees sustainable? I think he’s taking a very long term view.

His price is what Burnley FC decide it is, for the next 2 years at least.

I absolutely agree, but my point was that is why he’s not attracting bids of £35m-40m.

That might have been his Premier League wage, but if Soton have any sense there’ll be relegation % wage drops in his contract so I doubt he’s on 120k a week now.

Man Utd spent over £47m with add ons with Onana and he is a liability.
