Transfer: 2025 Winter Transfer Window - Rumors and Discussion

Google is your friend

I mean I don’t blame him for not wanting to Google tush push with no context.

Totally safe for work

Former Lille standout Jonathan Bamba is heading to the MLS.

 

[Savi]

Andreas Skov Olsen from Club Brugge to Wolfsburg for €14M (plus bonusses)

The good: brilliant left foot, has a knack for scoring world class goals, is a bit of a poor man's Robben in that everyone knows he will cut inside and put it far corner yet can't seem to stop him

The bad: doesn't really like to run or press a lot, isn't too physical and avoids man to man contact, and above all has a somewhat difficult character when things don't go his way. He gets unhappy really quickly..at least he did in Brugge

I think he was hoping to leave for a big club last year after putting up phenomenal stats but that didn't happen, I think most clubs saw the red flags and didn't want to pay the price tag Brugge put on him (25+ mil) so now he just wanted to go no matter what...I think, and Brugge didn't want to make him even more unhappy

am i going to regret asking what "Tush Push" is

You ain't asking for much, you're just looking for some X.

This discussion made me to listen ZZ Top song including that word for the first time in years.

I think its funny they tried to "rename" it the Brotherly Shove, but that did not stick whatsoever

In

TFC got some business done this week as well, they also confirmed Insigne will be staying put for this season.

 

[cgf]

Really hope Jeltsch doesn't go abroad this summer. He's good enough to succeed, but he should move to a BuLi1 club first.

 

[Power Man]

 

[Evilo]

Awful deal for both sides.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

wtf is this

 

[maclean]

Quite aside from the general wtf, didn't Chelsea force them to get rid of deals like that? or did they just disincentivise them from an accounting pov?

 

[hatterson]

Most rumors say he’s around 500k/week wages as a base and with bonuses might climb near 700k/week.

You just can’t amortize a transfer fee over a longer deal, but in the case of an extension that’s not an issue.

 

[hatterson]

Also one big thing this gives a hint at is the charges against City and at least an assumed cap on the punishments.

Haaland isn’t signing a long term deal to be relegated or even just be a mid table squad, so you have to figure it at least means City internally don’t think the resolution will have much impact on their operations.

Or theyre trying to lock down a big star to keep him from running in the event of serious punishment?

Only accounting POV toward FFP and PSR.

And being able to sell him for a huge amount in case of relegation.

It's not that IMO.

The amortization of the transfer fee in the FFP & PSR compliance can only be amortized for 5 years. They therefore prevent the long contract loop hole. Nothing to do with extensions and in their official financial book (not to do with FFP/PSR) they can still amortize it over whatever number of year they want (based on the contract length), for taxes purposes.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

I can’t see him finishing his contract at city. Good for Barca tho

Right PSR/FFP aren’t the same as tax accounting. But frankly tax accounting is pretty irrelevant to anyone but the government. It doesn’t practically impact what they’re doing in terms of footballing business.

Footie contracts are continuing to get more North America...
