It might've got a mention if it was on a scotchland feature I suppose, but I'm not really losing any sleep over it. When it happens, it happens.

Its a PL reserve going to the MTL, hardly the transfer story of the summer. I wouldn't expect a huge amount of coverage on it.

+ Navarro it wasn't so much for them being Liverpool fans IIRC. It was more the fact that when we went to Anfield in the Cup, some of them went there more like starstruck tourists than professional footballers trying to win a match. We'd have got beat regardless, but the 1-6 was a little harder...

He'll do well in the MTL, and is still of an age where he'll have some potentially lucrative resale value. I appreciate he's hardly played in the last year or so, but in todays inflated market, £3.5m is still a snip for a CB of his quality. Given that they're getting a bargain, it should only be...

As mentioned earlier, the buying club quite often staggers the transfer fee over the course of the contract rather than paying the whole lot up-front. Its nothing new or unusual - we've probably done the same ourselves with some of our recent larger purchases. All will be revealed when the...

He was a bit of a porker at times when he was 1st choice here. I think he'd proper pull the ripcord if he was 3rd.

Yep. If you take a loan player in the summer window, its either on a season-long loan, or until the January transfer window. There's no recall inbetween.

What I mean is, the fee for the player would NOT be registered on the books (in Locadia's example) as a £14m transfer fee being paid out in one hit, all in one financial year. The cost of Locadia will be registered as £3.5m each year, plus his remuneration, recorded as player amortisation. I'm...

Transfer fees are usually paid in instalments over the course of the contract, as opposed to in full up front. We signed Locadia for £14m on a 4 year deal - meaning we pay PSV £3.5m a year over the next 4 years. Thats usually how it works (its recorded on the books as player amortisation each year).

I very much doubt CH will take his lead on formations at BHA next season from England's performances in Russia.
