Latte Lath done deal

[junos_boots]

Poor record bar last season

Are you talking about Akpom or the new bloke?

 

[BoroMart]

aint no way we're getting 13m upfront for akpom.. for ffp it's probably like 4m per year for 3 years

How much up front is completely irrelevant from ffp. All of the Akpom sale value (minus add ons) will be added to this years ffp. That’s how it works, it’s separate from terms of payment.

So our ffp has perspective is immediately up 11m - the remaining 650k for the final payment from when we purchased (signing players is amortised across the length of the contract)

 

[BoroMart]

Yes but anyone we buy would be structured the same way so it doesn’t matter.

Payment structure and ffp are seperate.

If we signed Archer for 20m on a 5 year contract, then we would amortise and add 4m (and 1 year wages) to this seasons ffp calculation.

Ffp is calculated over your last 3 seasons, so archers second season with us would have another 4m (8 in total plus wages).

We could probably stay compliant with that.

By the third year if we are not promoted we would have 3x 4m (plus wages) on our ffp calculation and would likely fail ffp without significant sales to balance the calculation.

We could go all in on him, but it would be a growing risk, and if he got injured and we didn’t get promoted it could put the club at serious risk

Cheers mate

Is the journo 100% reliable?

'Done deal' as in fee agreed, personal terms agreed and medical passed?

Or just repeating what's been on twitter all day?

It's a twitter feed, I don't know the gadge personally so just passing info on

Be a pretty sad d*ckhead to pass on information like that about an Atalanta/ Boro transfer for £5m.

He’s a legitimate sports journalist who appears to have his finger on the pulse. He also has over 300k followers.

I noticed Willock wasn’t in the QPR squad today. Haven’t we been linked this window?

£5.6m (if that’s the fee) on a totally unproven striker who has averaged about one goal in four seems like the definition of madness to me. Hope I’m wrong but i would think Atalanta are currently doing cartwheels if they’ve managed to get that much for someone who’s hardly kicked a ball for the first team. He may turn out to be great or he may turn out to be a duck egg but this seems a very strange choice to be charged with being our main goal scoring outlet. The championship is a tough old league, he’s going to have to hit the ground running is this lad - can’t see it personally

Brighton and Brentford spending 5 million on the likes of macaliister as a bit of a punt is the same as us spending 500k on silvera, this is the equivalent to a 50 million pound signing for them, it’s a massive chunk of the budget

That's right, but they made their punts to be able to afford that money by doing it in the Championship and building up

 

[Norman_Conquest]

The € / £ exchange rate on Teesside fluctuates wildly. €6.5m becomes £6.5m, which then becomes £8m........etc

You wouldn’t go to the bank and get me some money out, I certainly could use them rates.

So the deal isn’t “done” as yet?

You don’t get points for being first to post a done deal, just look a bit stupid when the deal isn’t actually “done”.

You don’t get got points for being first to post done deal when it actually is done either, you usually get ‘yeah everyone knew mate’.

He plays like a crazy Bee, quick enough to catch birds Fit as Flea. Be interesting to see how he fares on,

 

[HolgateCorner]

Looking forward to seeing a front man up front who we actually own.

It’s a great point and despite what some posters say there is a massive risk in relying on too many loan players, especially those who nearly get you over the line, the consequences we are now seeing.

Why is everyone inflating fees when we buy and deflating when we sell.

Every time I read, latte laths fee seems to have gone up another 500k.

It’s £4.3m isn’t it as a basic fee. That’s still quite high, but we trust that the team have done their homework.

 

[Borokian1876]

That's the spirit!

Why? I’m not gonna pretend I’m excited of course I’ll back him like we all do but don’t trust a thing this recruitment team or owner does

So true. It happens with every deal. Even though multiple people said that Payero was not £5 million, that amount is quoted by everyone on here. And I suspect that this deal is nowhere near £4.3 million.

This is correct as I have explained many times on the board.
The Sale fee less Current Book Value is shown as Profit from Sale of Player Registrations and included in Total Income on the P&L.
Add ons will not be.

When the fee is actually paid by Lens has no relevance to the P&L and therefore FFP.

Really don't get people's obsession with how much players cost. It's not your money and it's all just made up numbers anyway.

Who else can we get? If we want any striker with a decent record in a competitive league then it costs a lot. Only way we would get any cheaper would be trying a lower league signing which is just as much of a risk

I'll believe it when the club or reputable site reports it..
