If Humpty Dumpty was a player... not even the surgeon could fix him.

Technically what you quoted was an answer to another guy's question unless you are referring to my guess about one of the Arsenal Left Backs being a loan target?

Well if nobody wants to pay 30m or his wages for those gunning for a loan, then he'll probably be forced to take a salary cut in order to get a move if he desires it. I presume that if we still want to get Ramsdale this window then this is what we are banking on.

I think its to do with the player purchase amortisation model, something to do with financial calculations for PSR based off of the initial sale divided by the contract length for each year the contract is valid. For example say Arsenal buys a player for 40 m on a four year contract, the expenses written in the book for that player purchase is 10 m spread across four financial years, Chelsea also buy a player for 40m but on an 8 year contract, they only have to write down 5 m for that player purchase expense essentially cutting their expenses in half in the accounts despite buying a player for the same price that Arsenal bought their player and that's where I assume the point of contention lies in setting their crazy long contracts. Its also the reason why Loaning Aaron Ramsdale would be extremely difficult for us financially just by being on a wage around the 100k a week bracket, because it would be the equivalent of us paying for a 20.8m player on a four year contract and that's not taking into account potential loaning fees.

Based on its Wikipedia page its many different leagues including English ones. It is the precursor to Football Manager as its developed by the same company, they split with publisher Eidos Interactive in 2003 which lead to the creation of Football Manager series which retained the same data storing features of the Championship Manager games they made prior to their split the publisher.

Arsenal were the Champions of the 2001-02 Season so someone who's played for Arsenal before or a bench player wanting 1st team football. Jakub Kiwior on Loan? Umbro means Shadow in Italian and they just signed Calafiori who plays in his position. Could be good mates with Jan Bednarek as they played together in the Euros.

I tried asking ChatGPT and it refused 🤣 Also don't bother asking ChatGPT for clues, only things they came up with are Christiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and other "celebrity" players.

Shea Stadium so we are loaning out Shea Charles then. What city is getting bombarded by Thor in the pictures above?
-
Brownhill crumbled when pitted against a good press last season, so based on that I'd have to say no. Alife Doughty I didn't watch enough of but I think he'd improve on what we have at left-back currently.
-
Hope we aren't limiting ourselves to the UK for our C option cause we'll struggle to find value for money if we do.
-
No idea, I'd say probably the same as SaintsExtra but they seem to add their own two cents which I kinda like.
-
Saints Socialite made the post on it as well and just deleted it a few minutes ago. I don't know what to make of that. Edit: Seems like tweet is back up but referring to a different source.
-
Since the Matt O'Reilly ship has sailed (most likely) will we be still in the market for a number 8-10 type player?
-
Funnily Enough Aribo was pretty good for us in the first few games he played for us. Ralph, Jones and then Selles combined coached all of that out of him. I would be happy if we could get him back in the ballpark of the player he was when he first joined over this season.
-
Which is kinda funny cause statistically the playoff team seems to have both the highest rate of staying up and remaining established in the last two decades.
-
Ferdi Kadioglu has two years left so Fenerbahce are probably trying to sell him before his value depreciates significantly due to being on his last year. Transfermarkt quoted as 30m, final price might be higher or lower but sure as hell we are not spending 20+ on a left back even if its one of our four areas of concern.
-
Arsenal probably gave permission for them to speak. Though I think its fair to take it with a grain of salt until either Turkish or Farmer Fella posts a new picture that points to Aaron Ramsdale more clearly, or someone verifies that Dean James is an Arsenal ITK, or more Arsenal reporters start echoing the story.
-
If he's on 100k a week that's around 4-5m for the year, there's always the possibility of only having to pay a percentage of his Arsenal weekly wage if he were to go on loan here so I find it hard to believe we're skint to the point we couldn't afford whatever we would end up paying for his wages.
-
If Alfie is tweeting it, then I guess we're getting O'Reilly. Means we'll be trying to use space in behind for through balls like with Armstrong's goal vs Leeds in the playoffs final.
-
I get the vibe that we'd rather get a shot stopper on loan this season as opposed to straight up buying. But by all means if Lazio are offering loans for him then we should be on the phone to his agent ASAP.
-
Oops I forgot to mention its Euros so similar ballpark to Bazunu then.
-
At least 15 mil is what they asked for when Man City inquired about Mandas. Unless we're considering a loan with either the option or no option to buy then I can't see us spending 15m to secure his services.

Oxford up 1-0, good press from Harris and a bit of maybe suspect goalkeeping assisting him.
-
The Base area and the foul lines form an O and X so Ox (everyone calls him Ox).
