Something's obviously happened behind the scenes if the club are interested in Piazon. Fulham were big money in this division, and he's played for some big clubs like Eintracht. His wages I would imagine will be tasty. I don't think FF is going, so loopholes must have been exploited or favours called in. We need to break even this year due to p+s. So we need income, from somewhere. The signing makes no sense. Am I the only one who sees that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However joking aside, we are a bit late rebuilding the side, spendagedden wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I the only one who sees that? I take your point, in as much as if any money needs to be spent it's in defence. I have the feeling that there's been a change. Maybe, by sharp practice, Chansiri has found a loophole. I mean, the problem isn't a lack of money, and never was. It's simply that our turnover isn't large enough to allow us to spend more.

Time will tell, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJMortimer Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I still don't understand how we could be under a transfer embargo supposedly for months and then suddenly be potentially able to bring in a couple of loanees even though nothing of much significance appears to have changed.

This is my guess but I think we have spent the last few months trying to convince the football league that our income is genuine income and can be used for FFP purposes.

Groundhopping Owl Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 if money is tight we need to be picky about signings. Hector would be a logical addition, but Piazon doesn't seem to offer anything particularly different to what we've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/10/1983 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) I'd like Piazon to sign on the basis that we could us The Clash's 'Spanish bombs' as his song. Cannot be arsed to figure out all the lyrics but the, 'oh my corrazon' line can be, 'oh, Lucas Piazon.' and before you all say... ...you're welcome!

Guest Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 It’s hard to see where Piazon would fit in without either a Reach or Fessi missing out, but competition amongst quality players is always healthy He would be an excellent addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
