So you’re telling me that I’m not supposed to be doing that at 45? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agreed with your comment when I read it and it was only afterwards I actually thought about it and I can't think of a higher profile player to sign for AVFC while still in his prime 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I don't actually care that he's 29 nearing 30 with probably his best days behind him, the idea of Coutinho in a Villa shirt is mouthwatering. Doesn't matter that Barca don't want him, they've ruined many careers, when Coutinho went there he was one of the very best in the world and he's one of most gifted footballers I've seen in the PL. If we can work out a deal in the short term with an option to extend if successful that would do me and it would be win-win. I hate how we struggle to create chances game after game and especially since Grealish left, Buendia was supposed to be that guy but is totally inconsistent, Bailey is always injured. Coutinho would undoubtedly solve that problem. Coutinho, Buendia and Bailey behind Watkins is on paper an incredible attack. I still think a LB and CDM are the key positions we need to strengthen but we need to give our heads a wobble if we're turning our noses up at signing Coutinho. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 9 minutes ago, Peter Griffin said: Profit does not take into account wages, it is based on transfer fee. In the accounting year we sell the player we would make a bigger accounting profit on the free transfer player. Obviously, over the course of the contract we would have increased operational costs due to higher wages but these are in different accounting years. From an FFP perspective, it would give us greater future spending power making more profit on the player sale FFP is calculated on overall PnL relating to players - ie including wages - and over a rolling 3-year window.

For sure and they will happen as if by magic, on a serious note, let's all hope we have some concrete news tomorrow, SG said the fans would be excited if he gets his targets, that's a yes then.

Exactly, so if we sell a player, say 3 years after we purchase him then the profit on his sale will be for the FFP period in years 4, 5, and 6 (depending on what moth he was sold but I am assuming the summer transfer window. The cost of wages that are a loss from a P&L perspective will be applicable to years 1,2 and 3 of the players contract. This means that selling a freebie signing will give greater future FFP scope.

Panto_Villan Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 You’re all just creaming yourself because he has a foreign name. Classic VillaTalk. If he was English his name would be Phillip Enclosed Pasture and you lot wouldn’t be so impressed, would you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
