The_Steve Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Maybe Dougie wanted to leave. But least we get players to improve our squad overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 So our only hope now is if McKennie wants to stay at Juve and can't agree personal terms. Can't believe this is actually happening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe this is actually happening. I fully appreciate you're more than entitled to express your opinion and that's fine. Though, I seem to recall you also being very against the Youri Tielemans signing which turned out pretty good in the end. Just got to trust that Unai and Monchi know what they are doing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure Monchi and his team have crunched the numbers and stats to make an informed choice on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoVillan1983 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Bye Doug, thanks for the service. Appreciate your time here. I like the deal. Ticks a lot of boxes given how limited the constraints are. Glad he is going outside the PL too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post WallisFrizz Posted June 11 Popular Post Share Posted June 11 If I can ignore for a minute how it affects us, I’m pleased for him if this is the move he wants. He came to us as a 19/20 year old non-English speaker new to the league, to a newly promoted team. Was flung into a relegation battle, Covid hit and he was away from family, was brilliant for us during the restart and our narrow escape and has steadily improved his game. He handled the Arsenal failed bid brilliantly and never threw his toys out of the pram. He signed a new contract, helped us to Champions League and his apparent impending sale will get us out of some PSR bother. He’s only ever spoken fondly about us and I genuinely think he’s loved his time here. I can only wish him well. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) 7 minutes ago, Wainy316 said: Hopefully that's all FFP worries quelled for this year at least The other angle is that it also helps next year and the year after as well (much like the jack sale). Although we can only recognise the revenue this year, the profit is reflected in both of the next two years calcs also. In the example provided before where he's sold for 60, and the other two chaos are bought for 20 each on 5 year contracts.... We get roughly a £52m profit for this season's FFP return. Next year, we add 8m of costs to our baseline, but still get the benefit of the 52m profit. So a net of 44m in our year 2 returns on this transaction. Then a net profit of 36m in our year 3 returns. Its only in the 4th and 5th years of their contracts where we lose the profit from the first year, and then have their costs hurting out FFP position, with net losses of 8m in year 4, and 16m in year 5. Obviously, by that point, so much has happened but hopefully paints a picture of how helpful a semi regular big sale is to our FFP position.

sheepyvillian Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 It was obvious someone, important to our progression, had to go. Like every other player who we have been gutted to see leave, it will soon be forgotten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted June 11 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11 Just have to be philosophical about it that we (presumably) will now have the financial side of things settled to strengthen further, we’ll have two solid options for a match day squad and there does seem to be a sense that something hasn’t been quite right with Doug for a while and maybe he just feels it’s time to move on. It’s a shame he won’t play in the champions league with us having helped us move from relegation candidates to now, it feels a bit like it would have been fitting. But that’s more of a romanticised view of it. We still have a number of players who provide that link to back then (McGinn, Konsa, Mings). Only fond memories of Doug. He’s been an excellent signing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
