Any imposed financial regulation is likely to be met with kickbacks. It's no different to FFP/P&S/SCMP. Also, clubs at every level are already finding ways to navigate past their respective rules - salary caps probably won't be any different. However, that doesn't mean further restrictions...

It's hardly ridiculous is it as nearly every other major sport has implemented caps of sorts. They were quite clearly an important step to help ensure that clubs could operate in a more sustainable manner. Also, they didn't dictate it. All League One and Two member clubs voted in favour of...

Oh dear. It was a good move by the EFL to implement salary caps - although I did think they should have been indicative of turnover. The majority of other sports have caps in some form or another, why not football? The PFA are mindless fools who can't see beyond their nose. They claim to act in...

Given that we currently only have one recognised first-team LWB at present, it was obvious he was brought in as a backup for McCallum.

Credit to them. As egotistical as they both are, they certainly know how to maximise the value of their own players.

MacAnthony mentions him regularly on his podcast. Would take a significant fee to prize him away from Peterborough.

We will have a LWB as we brought one in, in January.

I don't particularly mind if we retain him or not as I think for me it's gotten to the point where it's whatever's in Jodi's best interests that matters. More than happy to see him stay as it's likely he'll be on fairly minimal wages and would be relatively low risk, but given how long he's had...

Personally, I think if we offered to forgo future payments - perhaps along with a modest up front fee - Norwich wouldn't be overly bothered about agreeing to a permanent transfer. I think by my count they currently have 3 left backs in front of him - one being signed in January if I remember...

His mentality is quite remarkable. Even if it's not with us I really hope he goes on to have a great career. Few deserve it more.

Why? At the end of the day if you lack a footballing brain or lack natural ability you're not going to find much success in football. If he had a shred of self awareness he'd realise he's probably done quite well to get this far in the game.

Yes and no. Properties are usually valued based on what a similar property in the same area has previously sold for. There's not much else too it and there will be little room for subjectivity or nostalgia to be taken into account when calculating the guide price. This is proven by the fact that...

Exactly. Not knocking his profession at all but take the social worker referenced in the article as a case in point to why the valuations are simply not credible. What qualifications or experience does he have to be able to appropriately calculate something as complex and subjective as a...

If you actually took the time appropriately assess the quality of Forest's squad, you'd realise they should never be in and around the bottom half of the table and given the talent they have at their disposal it was always likely that they were going to pull away. Equally, and I'll say again...

Appreciate you not wrong? It's probably a good job I didn't write an essay isn't it. This is why your point is ridiculous. We don't have the capital to invest in a proven striker. Regardless of what's on the line you simply can't spend money that you don't have.

The budget is the budget and Robins - as does the club - has to adhere to that. Whether you like it or not is irrelevant as those are the facts. Why are you surprised that clubs whose wage bill dwarfs ours are able to bring in such players, even in this current climate? That just proves your...

Which proven striker do you think we could've realistically signed?

I've heard through contacts that the Ricoh move is looking pretty positive and is as close as it's ever been. However, the same has been said to me twice before so I'm not holding my breath.

Odd read. Perhaps some clubs might reference it when scouting players but considering the majority of valuations are calculated by volunteers who work outside of football I highly doubt they use TM in transfer negotiations as it's just not credible.

Transfermarkt valuations are pretty futile to be honest, as without sounding too cliche it's what clubs value their players at that matters.
