If I wake up soon and realise the Clint Dempsey is still playing in the no10 role behind Defoe then I'm going to be bloody annoyed.

Question: the club will make a stonking profit on trading this year, and, notwithstanding any money injected by Lewis as operating capital and/or to cover future losses, will make a huge paper profit and cash break-even over the term of the purchases (with sales more or less matching purchases). However, we will also be left with one of the biggest amortisation bills in world football, meaning that, however profitable we are in cash terms, we will struggle to break even. How does FFP treat this situation?


No we won't, as with the exception of Soldado, all the players should increase in value over the period of their contract.

So I would say that if amortisation does come into play, of which I have no idea, then we will be posting a projected profit on our P&L for these assets over the period of their contracts

One interesting thing about this window, and no doubt Baldini will have been the main reason behind this, is that our targets have all been from outside the PL.

May also be that we would find transfers even more protracted and difficult trying to buy from our direct competitors, we appear to have paid what we needed to to purchase the talent we have and if we were looking inside the PL most would be from the 3 ugly sisters and their stinky cousin ;)

It makes it even odder as to why Willian was in a Central London Hotel.
We got played,pure and simple...Kia had SSN all over the hotel in central London, I'm 100% convinced we were being used to flush Chelsea out,just like Liverpool were used first to flush us out.

There are not many that are better than what we have bought in in reality. Yes unproven in PL, but they have all held their own in their previous leagues. Also there is no value in the PL. No one in the PL would sell to us unless they increased the price by an obscene amount.

Sorry it's not more but I leave tonight for 17 days in Ibiza which I can't afford, and booked when I was drunk with my mates (seemed like a great idea at the time). Don't think i'll be eating for a few weeks...still, who needs food when you can dine on the finest ITK, eh?

I think Baldini is on one of those contracts where he has a 3 month probationary period followed by a full contract. Works his bollocks off for 3 months before slumping off into a corner, having SC forum open in the background on his computer while going for the occasional toilet jizzfest to pass the time. He'll be living off this window for years...

***BREAKING NEWS****

A riiver of slime has been reported oosing from houses in and around the london area. Police are said to be baffled by this salty liquid which started to appear late yesterday afternoon and has been steadily increasing since then.

Many experts claim this build up will subside naturally after september 2nd, but could potentially reappear in May next year.

Police are asking all ladies stay inside and wear wellies and plastic suits in order to avoid infection.

Sorry. Pressed the wrong button - totally agree with this. The whole thing stank from the start.
