I've just watched the compilation. He so reminds me of some one.......a young wilf(spit) without the falling over so much.
He's like a wasp at a picnic, I reckon he could pull a few defenders out of position

It's (surely?!) a blatant infringement of any bubble rules. I don't know what the exact rules are, but guy comes over from Germany and comes to your house can't be allowed?! So the fact there's been no comment suggests the next comment from press or club might be a signing announcement.

(If this was normal times it'd be easy to say there's nothing in it- just seeing a mat. But this year?)
The most likely answer is he has already signed and so there are no bubble issues.

Izzy posted on instragram this morning a picture of him looking at some new football boots in a blue changing room. Couldnt work out if it was Lancing or Amex, but suggests playing some more football is on his mind.

Looks like a bath tub?

Good call.

That’s a lot of fees and wages we’ve accrued this window. Any stattos tallied it all up?
Schelotto free 30k
Montoya 5m 40k
Balogun free 30k
Kayal free 30k
Mooy 4m 40k
Knockaert 10m 45k
Locadia 4m 45k

27m / 260k

Button 1m 15k
Duffy ? 40k
Ali J ? 50k

I'm guessing with the above wages obviously but they won't be far off. We could be talking 40m+ in incoming fees and 350k+ a week saved in salaries.

A decent wedge to reinvest on a LWB & ST and possibly have change to spare...

Consider we must have given Lallana a fat signing on fee and ~60k a week though, plus the new deal for Dunk which must put him on the same amount. Veltman must be on ~40k as well.

Getting those of the wage bill is only stemming the losses. We've given plenty improved contracts and will continue to do so

I'm interested. Where did you get these figures??

£5m for Montoya? £4m for Mooy? Not seen these figures anywhere ??? As for salaries, where did these figures come from?

Apologies if your BHAFC's accountant!!

Actually.. Hamburg supporters would probably disagree...

Still though, that type of goal can be scored at any level - it just happens really rarely that a player is brave, confident and clever enough to attempt it.

Reminds me of a goal from my favorite all-time player. (cant miss out on posting some Pierre propaganda)

Saw a Spanish article saying Montoya was €6M, dont know how reliable it is. And Andy Natlor did an article in the Atlantic saying Mooys release clause was £4M to Chinese clubs. The salaries are educated guesses based on our wage bill in the annual accounts, average 1st team wage last year was ~40k.

As I say I'm guessing, and we're mostly just plugging gaps from losses in previous years, but as a snapshot in a single transfer window, we're likely to be roughly break even having shifted some expensive fringe players for fees for the first time since we came up.

Ahh Van Hooijdonk I remember him. Quality player, remember seeing him play in the PL for Forest I believe.

He sort of lost the plot if I recall. Had a red mist not unlike our Andone. But real talent though.

And let’s not forget. We’re not exactly paupers anymore. We also have continuing Premier League income (granted taken a hit due to COVID).
