TheSiegeBig ErnTheSiege We could have bought Zaha in the last window. Whatever we paid, we would have made a huge profit when we sold him on - if we chose to. RFC are a business as well as a football club, to have a brilliant up-and-coming player in the squad In the sure knowledge that we will not lose should we sell him on, is a no-brainer!
No we couldn't. Far more to it then a straight transfer fee. You really struggle to understand how football works sometimes.
Yes we could! Though now, with the pinnacle clubs all looking at him, he has gone beyond our financial ability. Also, although this thread is officially about three players, there are other highly-rated players, who could have made us more of a Prem. team, who we also missed out on.
As for an understanding of how football works financially, I have seen some of your past posts. Nuff said!
What posts, can't remember commenting too much about financials? Maybe I did on Planet Siege
with regards to signing these three players, then no we couldn't. One of the reasons we didn't persist more with the actual fee for Zaha was the demands being made by the player. It would have dad a dextrimental effect on the current players. You may say the Pog get more than anyone else, but he is not a young hopeful, he has proved what he can do.
Of the three palyers, the only realistic one was Clyne, and he wasn't our top target for RB so stop working yourself up into a froffong rage over 2 players we never stood a chance of getting and one we were not that keen on.
Unfortunately outside planet siege and back in the real world, things are not that simple.
