De Boer Costacurta

Two up front, one in the hole?

We’ll need the ‘does McFadz count as a new signing?’ debate first😁

Looking good. The next question is, does anyone at the club know they can apply to change his status?…

League games + 5th round of FA cup onwards and EFL cup quarter finals onwards.

I do have the rules in front of me 😁😁 You know what, he might meet the following criteria: played in 25% of our matches and played 50% of the minutes he was available for. who wants to do the maths…🤔🧐😁

No need to watch past 13:55…

Would have to sell him , a loan move and he’d still count as 1 of our 4.

I’ve had a quick look at the criteria to change a player from ESC to non ESC and I don’t believe Siggy met them last season. So, presuming you’re right about Gueye, yes - 1 slot left.

The last two lines of this piece suggest Siggy was an ESC signing. https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2023/june/23/-we-look-forward-to-seeing-him-in-our-iconic-colours-/

Tbh I’m not certain but I would think so. exited to add, I’d be confident @KentExile is more likely than me to be right.

I imagine you do it in the hope it will make a difference but with the expectation it will not.

This is the standard way for this to be done (but not the only way it can be done)

I’m not sure they’ve even done that

That’s why I asked the question. I found an article which says buying players for your academy is exempt but income from selling an academy player is included. What I don’t know is whether this person knows this or has just interpreted the rules this way. I had a quick skim of the rules but nothing jumped out one way or the other.

Won’t any fee they pay be FFP exempt (youth development)?

I had to google it 😄 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasutaka_Okayama

You’re forgiven, but don’t use the W word again…

They must have a bug - there were odds for Reading too.

Someone’s bought a phase 3 season ticket?

Make sure you get the cash up front
