I don't often post about transfers involving 40-year-olds in the fifth tier of French football, but when I do it's because Steeeeeeeeeeeeed.

they weren’t docked 3 points per se, they didn’t fulfil a fixture because their squad were suffering from illness. The other team were automatically awarded the victory. That had nothing to do with financial fair play.

No, Boro were deducted three points and Blackburn were also awarded three points.
The reason for the deduction was really as simple as that Robson decided they were going to abandon game but didn't notify the FA in due course. Or rather, they claimed they had the FA's blessing but the FA disagreed.

Very cringe. Still think we sold him too early.

But FFP wasn't included in the question I answered, even though I see it had been mentioned in the discussion before

Sounds like PSG are going after Florenzi instead of Bellerin now because they want a loan with a purchase option (which Arsenal won’t accept, but Roma will).
Can’t see them getting anywhere close to enough funds for Partey or Aouer at this rate.
Seems like most of the other PL clubs are having an almost impossible time with unloading the deadwood and/or raising funds right now and it’s not just us.

A natural consequence of being the richest league in the world over a number of years. Players both starting and fringe get paid extraordinary amounts more than they would in any other league so they become harder to shift before their contract expires.

Probably been talked about already but I totally missed that Joel Veltman left Ajax this summer to join.. Brighton for £900k?!
He was supposed to be the next big thing from Ajax for a long time but seems like his career went steadily downhill. I saw he did his ACL but Brighton?! For £900k?!

He had a €1m release clause this summer apparently, must've only had a year left on his deal or something.
Brighton have bought very sensibly and got Ben White back who was outstanding at Leeds, I don't see them going down this season.
