Any1 seen the transfer market post online talk about player sales for the club in the transfer window. It looks like the club will be making a big loss on many of the players it isn't good view to see.

Without doubt there could be a potential loss on the sale of some players but a profit on others. My guess is that loans in some cases would be more prudent.

I think in a number of cases Tom, a loan will be the only option.

Clubs will know we need to offload players surplus to requirements.

Sorry I just worry much because it seems no one wants the clubs players players like chukumecka sterling nkunku chilwel I read that sterling still 2 year on contract and best case of play is we give him loan for 20% coverage of wages bomb squad wasgt good and unhealthy for that reason and we have Felix as well no one wants the payers it seems and big losses for the club.

You need to calm yourself and relax mate, the club will do what it needs to do and remember that most of what you read is cheap click bait from journo's trying to capture headlines.

Raj are you really Standard? ?

Chuka is a player I would prefer us to loan as I still think he has a touch of class.

I passed on a story about Sterling. He apparently is happy just to see out his contract playing with the kids if necessary. Of course he is entitled to do that.

I think Felix will go to Benfica on loan.

Hi tom no but I just worry for what if we don't sell the players we just saw we got fine for not making enough money for eufa so I am concerned I will love to be excited but I will wait to see first.

As for Sterling I think he will sit out his contract no club will pay anywhere near his wages. In his position I would probably do the same, it’s not his fault we signed him on a huge salary. The first of many poor decisions.

I think the happy hammers will take Sterling as Potter is a fan but I would vies they will only pay about 30% of his wages.

I have looked at the UEFA fine and I’m confused (not for the first time) as it also talks about player signings.

Anyway, as we have been found guilty then just except the punishment and move on.

I will delay my normal criticism of the owners in such situations until I fully understand the reasons why we have been fined.

I enjoy all posts on here including yours Jimbo but in all your years of posting, both under Roman and now the new owners have you ever been happy with anything related to the club?

Tom, we have breached 2 rules football earning relating to the hotel and women’s team sale and squad costs rules relating to the percentage of income you can spend on transfers, wages, agents fees etc. We didn’t fight it, it was a settlement. Go onto We ain’t go no history for a succinct explanation of the of the issue. The major fine is suspended in part subject to conditions. Therefore important that we are successful and secure a top class sponsorship deal ( all gone quiet on that front) .

When you break the rules you deserve the punishment.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Jimbo. The reasons for the fines I understand, it’s the mention of player restriction for UEFA competitions that isn’t clear to me. As I read it, if we balance our transfer books, then we are ok is how I read it.

Greenaway, I have been very happy with the club over decades including well before the RA era. I have nothing, per se, against our owners. I thought at the time of the sale and still do now that they were the best option. However, I do question the people they have appointed in senior positions and their competence also some of the strategies regarding PSR, which have clearly come unstuck with UEFA, hence the sanctions which have just been announced. I am still unsure what exactly the plan is for the club on the field. The player trading and constant in and outs does not give me confidence for regaining our status as an elite club.

Tom. I think you are right, we can’t go into a negative transfer balance.

Thanks Jimbo for taking the time to explain your views.
