Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
I cannot understand why the transfer window is soooo long?
Should be closed by July 31 then every team knows exactly where they're at..

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Nice are owned by Jim Ratcliffe, worth over 12 billion and one of Britain's richest men, I don't think wages will be an issue and as pointed out in the thread they have qualified for the Champions League as well this season. They lost their manager to PSG this summer and appointed Lucien Favre as their new manager, who managed them before and finished 3rd with them before moving to Borussia Dortmund.claretonthecoast1882 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 26, 2022 4:36 pmI had read he is on over 100k a week and was wanting a pay rise to sign a new deal, weird move as he can't be getting that much at Nice.
Nice would be a good move for him, 35 years old and one final payday in a decent league and Champions League football.
And yes, when it comes to French football I am a Nice fan

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
They did this a couple of years ago but English clubs complained it got us out of sync with European clubs and if a late bid came in and they lost a player the deadline had already gone and they couldn't get a replacement.It Is What It Is wrote: ↑Tue Jul 26, 2022 9:41 pmI cannot understand why the transfer window is soooo long?

The hope was Europe would follow us and close the window before the season but they didn't and so we changed back to match them.

Thing is, it’s a bit like the Jimmy Hill scenario with the abolition of the maximum wage, if it hadn’t had been him it would have been someone else especially in the ultra capitalist part of the world we live in.pushpinpussy wrote: ↑Wed Jul 27, 2022 5:55 amthere is only one person to blame for the football transfer mess we find ourselves in. step forward Jean-Marc Bosman.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
A fair chunk of the season will have been played by the time the window closes.
That's a bit of a worry if we don't get off to a good start.

Nowadays players do indeed have more rights, but it's up to the clubs to ensure that the essential contractual clauses are foreseen whereby their own rights are protected in case a player wants to move, simple as.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
I agree on Cornet: should be played, not only for his qualities but also as a bargaining tool towards other clubs. Shows that we are not so desperate to get rid of him.
Actually, it would suit the player himself as it keeps him match fit in case the move goes ahead.
Unless he is refusing to play, which I haven't heard.

Agree with the messages about Cornet. Nearly a fifth of the season is played in August. If we have a talent like him available to us we should be playing him.
Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Yes quite odd there’s literally zero links, we can only assume we are working on things in the background and they are being kept secret, there’s no chance Kompany is happy with just Jay and Barnes

Has Vydra left the club now,he would rip this division if he was fit and got decent service....one of the better options that have been mentioned on here,I know he was injured but he's definitely worth a punt..a proven goalscorer at this level

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Think he is doing his rehab with us, but I think he has stalled on a two year contract offered, presumably on reduced terms.I think he is also being paid while injured, with BFC claiming on the insurance for these payments. Thats how I understand it

I'm not sure where people are getting this idea from that if he's still at the club he won't be playing, where the heck has it come from, has something been published somewhere that he won't be in or around the team selection, serious question, I'm just curious.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Who needs match fitness when you always get subbed after 60 minutes anyway

I agree though. Can't see him playing against Huddersfield unless we've had 3 or 4 other behind closed doors friendlies that we don't know about.
Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
I think Nixon said a while ago that we were "spinning a lot of plates", so I think there is most definitely a lot of stuff going on in the background.
Still think there will be a couple of more outgoings and probably 3-4 more incomings before the window closes, but a lot of it depends on who we sell obviously.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Still at Bristol City, after his 2 loan spells at QPR, but he bagged 3 in 32 last season, so I doubt he'd be the answer to our lack of goals.
Of course you just know he'll likely bag against us, as many of our ex players have done over the decades.

Nixon reckon we have a ‘few possibilities’ as striker targets and Ugbo ‘seems to be’ one of them.
Though think I read Ugbo was going to Troyes?

That's true. If only UEFA (Lennart Johanssen in charge) had leaned on the Belgian FA to tell them that their policy of no freedom of contract was wrong, and they should adopt the UK version or something very like it, then Bosman would never have happened.Lancasterclaret wrote: ↑Wed Jul 27, 2022 11:03 amBosman would never have happened if football had been sensible about the contract policy of players

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
I’ve posted before transfer fees are easily solved.
Make them annual salary x 20, this could be adjusted down the divisions. If an offer comes in it is then up to the parent club to increase the salary or accept the transfer. All transfers should be paid in full at month end.
Far too much accountant juggling going on with the finances of clubs, as we suffered for last seasons with Everton being allowed to get away with legal corruption.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Tricky Trevor.
That would be rather tricky, no?
20x factor would suggest the “value” of our prem league players in the region of £20 to 75M. Surely not a viable situation for BFC to buy any player.
The idea is interesting. Perhaps a different multiplier?

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Think it’s speculation because we’ve not seen him in pre-season & some fans views that we won’t play him for fear of injury.alwaysaclaret wrote: ↑Wed Jul 27, 2022 9:32 amI'm not sure where people are getting this idea from that if he's still at the club he won't be playing, where the heck has it come from, has something been published somewhere that he won't be in or around the team selection, serious question, I'm just curious.
I can see the last point but the counter argument is that he doesn’t play, nobody pays the fee, we’re left with an unfit player & potentially reduce chances of a good start to the season. Or he doesn’t play & his value is reduced because he’s not being utilised.
I’m hoping we grow some balls and attack the league early doors.

that is correct. however, Bosman cited the 1957 Treaty of Rome. the Treaty of Rome. brought about the creation of the European Economic Community (EEC), the best known of the European Communities (EC). therefore, Bosman challenged this under Article 85 of the EC Treaty.
