Bomb squad, the Premier edition

Shelvey I get but surely we can't just bomb squad Dennis? His not that bad that he can't play a part, also that's 20mill we payed for him. Rather then bomb squad, would a loan out and paying 50 per cent of his wages be a better for us?
Dennis may not be first or second choice at the moment, but even a loan where we retain some of the wages would seem like a mistake - Unless we sign several players, or someone pays a fee of some description for him, then I think he makes the 25.

There's plenty of space in the 25 to include him as injury cover, especially given our lack of cover in forward positions, and I have to assume that Dennis still makes the cut ahead of Hwang.

I think it was reported to be around 10mil transfer fee. No one really knows these days though do they!

I reckon the club are in the process of shipping Dennis out so don't want him to get injured. It would make no sense otherwise to ignore him all pre-season in favour of Hwang.

Sauce salad?
Apparently Shelvey has plenty of interest from the championship, though noone will be able to afford his wages in full.

Are you allowed to send players away after your transfer window closes to countries where the window is still open? This year, in particular, there are many countries where the transfer window closes much later than September 1. And I'm not talking only about Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain etc. where the window traditionally closes very late in order to attract leftovers from the big leagues (September 20 this year): Belgium's closes on September 6, Switzerland's (Freuler?) on September 7, ours on September 11, Australia's on September 12 etc.

Yes, we can sell players cancel contracts etc out of the window, we just cannot bring anyone in.

You can - you just can't transfer registration outside of windows. Players with no registration can still come as long as they aren't registered when the window shuts - we got Aurier last year after the window shut.

We got Kapino / Ansarifard a few years ago when Oly released them on deadline day (therefore had no registration when the window shut). If they released them after it shut it wouldn't have been allowed.

I'm talking us selling to other countries who have a window still open. But you are correct in what you say.

We always seem to get someone after the window 😂😂

If Dennis would stop cutting in he'd be dangerous but as it is he's too predictable.

So you've not learned how attractive money is to some people?
Can't be that loaded, not with all his maintenance payments....He's always borrowing money though isn't he? He was even getting his food provided free by Lord Bumford while PM, he tried to get some other lord to pay for his decorating. f***ing freeloader.

Johnson? He’s an absolute grifter.

He’s gone through his entire career sponging off of others, in return for influence.

He’s a crook.

You still have a massive bomb squad. I know I said that you can offload players to Saudi Arabia, or Kuwait, or Qatar, but not all of them.

And I'm beginning to worry that we'll be "offered" one of your deadwood squad.
