This precedent suggests that you can do this as Utrecht lost the case.
Yes, that's what I meant to say.
No idea why, but I thought I was replying to a question asking if there's anything to stop it hence me saying "probably not".
Seems I imagined that, and yes, I think they can do that.
We've seen similar dodgy looking workarounds with PSR recently although perhaps not quite as obvious.

Onana wasn't dodgy, he was hyped and played a great CL season for Inter. Hype drives up prices, dodgy doesn't fit here in my opinion.Got you. I think there have been a few dodgy cases over the years, as pointed out, often PSR related.
The Melo and Pjanic deal immediately comes to mind.
There’s not a lot that can be done except investigate latest cases afterwards. Otherwise you would need some sort of fair value committee to approve transfers and that’s not practical- although surely such a committee would have flagged the Antony and Onana transfers as clearly dodgy!
Like you say, can’t really stop it.
I was being somewhat sarcastic, and not saying they were ‘dodgy’ as in there was some nefarious activity involved.Onana wasn't dodgy, he was hyped and played a great CL season for Inter. Hype drives up prices, dodgy doesn't fit here in my opinion.
Antony wasn't dodgy as well - it was downright dumb. Ajax didn't want to sell late in the window, so they created a pricetag they thought would push away any potential buyers. We were just so dumb and desperate that we still followed through. I'd love to be in that Ajax office watching the reactions when the email came in that United were ready to pay that amount for Antony. I am sure they thought to be part of some sort of practical joke.
Otherwise, I do like the idea of such a comittee, although I also agree, it is probably difficult to execute. Could consist of anonymous questionaires though - like if a deal seems dodgy for the FA, then it triggers a process where every CEO of the league clubs has to answer what they think would be a fair value of the player. Then FA takes the averages and if the deal in question is in excess of that by more than 10 or 20%, it is either stopped, or a more thorough process has to follow.
I guess we do need better penetrative.Huge mistake letting him go
Nar, Argetina won the WC with a midget man walking around the middle of the pitch.
You can press high up but still spend lots of time walking, as long as your team is good at pressing as a unit. United are shit at pressing as a team, yet we expect our forwards to run all over the pitch, most fans these days seem these days to value this above goals & creativity.
Ronaldo won how many CL’s without being a pressing monster?
Genuine question not intending to offend... People who commit such act, do they ever regret what they've done? I suppose people would only believe that if he made a public statement acknowledging what he did and apologising for it, would he then be forgiven?
I wonder how many regret doing the thing because it was an awful thing and how many regret it because of the repercussions from doing the thing.I'm sure most people that do awful things regret doing them.
Greenwood denies doing what most people think he did, that's a huge issue for many and why the general uk footballing public won't forgive him.
The pics and the audio are out there and he's never tried to explain either to the public. He doesn't owe me an explanation but without one I'll think what I think.
Yep. Temporarily closed until we decide what to do. Season is over so it no longer serves a purpose.I haven't read the rules in the OP, but I'm fairly sure there's a lot of posts in the last few pages contravening those rules.
Yeah you didn’t understand my point at allThe best modern teams have high possession, high possession partly comes from high pressing. High pressing means forwards who work hard to win the ball back.
It’s really that simple.
No team in Europe is as foolish as us, unfortunately.We bought Rasmus for 70+ after a lot less right? I don’t think it’s too far away from what someone might be willing to pay. He’s a goal scorer and there aren’t that many around.
We’d pay it if he wasn’t who he is.
I wouldn’t be crying about Henderson either. If VAR did its job he’d have got a brain dead red card in his clubs biggest game in years.
Or Arsenal could sign him and stick their fingers in their ears like they currently doing. They are media darlings too so the coverage would lean into them "rehabilitating" him.The only way he can play again for England or an English club is after a public interview alongside his wife and telling the world they have moved on and football fans should also move on.
Henderson is a better keeper than Onana that's for sure. I didnt understand the hate he got when he was here, young keepers need a bit of time and patience. Too often the fans seem to turn on young players if they are not consistent, which is part of being young. Look at the hate that Mainoo gets as a good example. I would hate to see us sell him and spend a fortune on another midfielder who will prove in the end to be worse.I wouldn’t be crying about Henderson either.

Lamine could use a good mentor.A move to one of the Spanish teams?

I wouldn’t have Henderson back. Sure he was one of the ‘leakers’ and a terrible whiner.I’m with you on the lack of patience for young footballers. I just think we could have done a hell of a lot better than Henderson when we replaced De Gea (and, unfortunately, Onana)
I always thought this was his only way 'out' of the situation. For his wife to do a round of pr trying to explain away the circumstances of what happened.The only way he can play again for England or an English club is after a public interview alongside his wife and telling the world they have moved on and football fans should also move on.
Two reasons:Why is anyone even thinking or talking about the rapey little twat?
It's not just football fans though. Also, I still think there's legal issues to doing that too.The only way he can play again for England or an English club is after a public interview alongside his wife and telling the world they have moved on and football fans should also move on.
Sadly this is very true. As has been proven over and over including on this very page.Because he good at kick ball and that's the most important thing for some.
Depressing that it is.
When we need a new player I always long from some utter twat that we got rid of for being a despicable twat. Seems sensible.Two reasons:
- watching Hojlund every week
- having a sell-on clause to profit from if he does well and move to a bigger club
