Ahhh, that is the key to understanding how the board operates!
They are accountants and use every accountant trick that they can. Regarding transfers this means that they assign expenses along all the years that extend from the player's first contract with the club. This lets them not equate real payments to accounting expenses, which gives room to the business operations and simply helps to equate publicity contracts that run year by year to weird (in the financial sense) expenses such as transfers.
Buuut it also means that if you sell a player for less than what is assigned to cost (salary + transfer amortization) for the remaining years (again, as seen from their initial contract timeline), then you have to note a loss into the clubs books. This accounting loss, as your instinct very well tells you, is not a real loss, but an accounting one, and has taxation and credit servicing consequences to the club, meaning that it well could translate into real losses if the margin is too thin.
Also the board members have to tie a significant amount of their assets to the club in order to be the board, and an accountant shortfall can trigger a legal battle for those assets.
In summary, transfers are valued in a made-up way that has very real consequences, and those consequences can be avoided entirely by pretending that the player is being amortized in the pitch, even if he is a Douglas-lite that never plays.
Looks like Gomes will be staying given he's got out for a while with that injury ...
What about getting Milinkovic-Savic who's had his price reduced to under £100 million apparently ..

^ I have talked about him.
I personally believe that we must not get more than one CM who is 25 or younger. The board seems to be very very interested in FDJ. There is also Tanguy Ndombele and as you said Milinkovic-Savic. I would not mind any of them because I have not watched them enough. But we need only one of them.

Okay let us see.
For all of you guys, who do you want out of the three: De Jong 21, Tanguy Ndombele 21 or Milinkovic-Savic 23? and why?
I know we have got Alena, but we never know. I still believe that Alena is going to make it, but it would not hurt to have an alternative in the squad.

De Jong.
Ndombele i havent seen enough of and Savic is worth nowhere near 100mil, wouldn't even pay 60mil for him, hugely overrated.

Question is when. If this transfer window, definitely Ndombele.
De Jong needs at least one more year at Ajax, we can't do the developing here. Ndombele is at the moment more ready as I see it.

The fact that people on reddit still considers that lying fat fuck a tier 1/2 source says it all really.
