Also I am sure someone can have a quick look for this, but hasn't most of their share issues been 30 million? I may have made that up but I have some memory of it.

Flukey timing putting funds there now? You would need to view it in context of the current years accounts which we won’t see (in full either) for months and months yet. It will be for cash flow, i.e. to cover current or forecast losses in operational expenses which could include or be a consequence of transfers. However whilst the £30m is a convenient transfer like sum, it may not be ring-fenced for another single purchase. We really couldn’t tell. It’s just as likely that it’s the forecast trading deficit/loss for the year, now the main window has closed, which includes this window’s purchases, i.e, if we’d bought Benrahma and or Rashica, it might have needed to be £55m or there abouts. I think it would be expected that we would make a £30m loss or more this season, as that’s the average allowed under FFP, and our owners are seemingly happy to make these year on year losses to move us forward. If I had to bet, I would think this signals our spending is done and this sum balances the books.

Tez500 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I'm greedy and want Buendia, he will be available and is an excellent player. We don't necessarily need him right now but if Grealish keeps going he will have suitors again next summer. It makes sense to replace your best players before they leave not after. Buendia would be ideal as well as being able to play off the right if Traore doesn't cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I imagine the £30m is for cashflow purposes. They've been doing those kind of amounts on a semi-regular basis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point us spending £30m on a player that won't be guaranteed first team football, and that's without his wages. I'm sure West Ham will be paying him £100k / week minimum. Desperate times.

LondonLax Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 It’s pretty unusual for a club to pay a transfer up front. Usually it’s paid off over a number of seasons. So even if we did sign a “£30m player” we wouldn’t need the £30m up front to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
