1st signing - Alfie Harrison

[Magzer]

He looks a cracking prospect.
I've watched highlights of his games and although it's for Man city's lads he oozes talent and knows where the goal is.
We are certainly looking to bolster a cracking future it seems.

Very pleased with this signing because it’s probably the best way to beat FFP (buy young talent and develop it - and we have the staff to do it). It also shows commitment, planning and patience from our owners (some of our supporters could learn from that).

Does ffp count when buying youth team players ?

No, ffp doesnt count if its a youth contract

Not sure why you say ‘not that they need it’? We shouldn’t be contemplating selling players but that’s FFP for you.
Chelsea buy anything that has 2 legs, Klippity complains then breaks the bank - it’s easy to see what’s happening. Sporting integrity in football has gone.

They don't need the money.

They don't need the money.

No they don’t but they still need to ‘make space in the books’ to satisfy FFP (like us).
