Yep. We all know the issues. Constantly highlighting them ain't gonna change a thing. Poor selection team. Poor performance. Beaten by the better and more motivated team. Move on and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Oh the irony after all this "birds this, birds that".

Cheers. Explains one of the line up decisions.

Odd line up. Don't fancy Smallbone's chances in midfield today, Noble will bully him. Would prefer JWP in there and one of the RB's at RB. And as for Ings on the bench.

Yep, we'll have to give him away and pay up a chunk of his wages. Horrific. Company year end is June so we should see accounts end of March - tgey'll be interesting in many respects.

Not for me. Long's running makes so much space for Ings and pushing him out wide reduces Ings threat.

If it was a 3 year deal and he's been here for 3 years then yes the fee will have been written off. I assumed the deal still had time to run but I might be wrong. Is there provision for deeming a football player an impaired asset? I've never heard of it happening. A knackered tractor on a farm, yes, but a footballer who's turned out to be ****, I'm not sure about. I take your last point but if we are offered similar money in the summer as we could have got in January, and after another chunk has been amortised, it obviously makes sense. Either way he's a donkey and signing him was appalling business.

I didn't see this post before I responded to Turkish, but yes, amortisation and timing of transfers makes a huge difference. It's an odd concept that a million less for Carillo in the summer (after the next contract anniversary) is worth more to us than selling him for a million more last month.

It may well be that it was because it was January. Letting another year of the contract anniversary go past and then selling makes more sense as amortisation reduces the loss / potentially pushes into profit.

Blimey, that's a bit of a stretch! I have my doubts how much of a virus Valery actually had, but if it's glandular fever, I rather doubt that 1. Che and Obafemi have caught it, but 2. If they have, that they're playing football still.

That's not really how it works is it. How about if we had 2 Ings rather than Ings and Long. We'd have scored double the goals and be pushing Liverpool. Or something.

I'm pretty sure that he costs us more than that, but whatever it is, I agree with your approach.

I'm not sure we have, but posters on here have guessed that's what we've done. Personally I'd have taken the money and kept Yoshida who even at this stage of his career is better than Vestergaard will ever be. If we sell him I suspect it'll be when another year of his contract has clicked over, so mid July onwards.
