We will be covering a substantial chunk of his wages so Fleetwood can meet FFP regulations.

So helping Fleetwood meet their FFP regulations has a higher priority than us meeting ours, does it? Our club needs to get its priorities straight.

[tomphil]

How much of CM's reputed 16 to 25 grand per week are Fleetwood paying i wonder ?

My guess would be not very much at all but i reckon Mowbray would prefer Charlie Bhoy well out the way.  Poor do all around leaves nothing to spend but still cheaper than paying him off i suppose.

Well the option is pay 80-90% of his wages or pay 100% of his wages....

Save 10% wages for a player we are never going to play until his would be contract with us expires or pay him 100% his wages just to sit around at the club trashing the morale of the club?

Which would you do?

Or try and pay him off for 50-70% of his wages upfront

Yeah, why have him making waves at the club, he's obviously disaffected for what ever reason.

Assuming we are getting his wages off the books, could leave some more wiggle room for Ayala?

Although as we've shifted Graham, Smallwood, Samuel off the books, we should have had enough room anyway, i guess.

I very much doubt it. I was told he had already done a deal with a side in the Middle East so presumably mega money.

Just hope it isn't another case of free training facilities down at Brockhall

It would've served us better if we'd been dicked at Leicester.

Mowbray will be using Magloire's shutting down of Vardy as reason not to bring anyone in.

It won't wash this time.

Aye, it will be mega money if that's where he is off.

isn't he going to La Liga side Cadiz F.C?

[windymiller7]

Sorry if this is a daft question, but do players generally have a medical if it's a loan deal?

Can't say I ever remember hearing of it.

Latest line from the telegraph is that Aston Villa could hold the key for us bringing in a better standard of player.

They in for King who Sharpe believes we have 20 percent sell on and they in for Martinez at Arsenal and if they sign him , Arsenal will look to bring in Raya as his replacement.Sharpe speculating we have a 15 % sell on clause

With the money, IMO, more likely saving V's having to cough up yet another £multi million share issue..............................!!!

[JacknOry]

Watch Brentford turn Raya into a huge profit just a year signing him off us.

Paying part of Mulgrew's contract, the lionshare, means we can't bring in another player or renegotiate contracts.I wanted Mulgrew's wages completely off the books and that doesn't mean paying for a player who isn't present.

Who on earth was going to come in and agree to sign Mulgrew on his current deal?You are living in a dream world if you thought that was going to happen.

The mistake was giving him the contract in the first place.Getting whatever we can out of  Fleetwood or another club is the best we can do 

[davulsukur]

LET have done a bit about our new signings and opening day fixtures: https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/18706319.lack-new-signings-opening-day-nothing-new-rovers/

The stand out bit for me is:

What a sorry state of affairs that is in 3 and a half seasons, they are the only defenders that he has brought in. Only Tosin and Cunningham would be wanted back and there would be a big question mark over Cunninghams fitness.

Mendez Laing just been released, Not a priority position but would be an upgrade to what we have

Good player but obviously done something very wrong for them to release him like that, he’s deleted his Instagram as well, got to be a police issue or drug test or worse

We need a quality centre half and a quality full back more.  No point bringing in a new centre mid to take Buckley's place on the bench.

He'd start. 

But then I'd be trying my best to ship Johnson out if I was in charge.

Shows how badly we're managed. 

Sitting underneath the table, begging for scraps.

That money should be a boon, if those transfers happen, rather than dictating our transfer policy.

[RevidgeBlue]

Yet more sob stories about missed targets today I see. Only another month to go and Mowbray can drop the pretence.

No way would that lad from United be starting ahead of Corry and Bradley in Tony World.

It would be a complete waste of everyone's time and our money.

More shame on the Telegraph if they're trying to spin the line that was the plan all along.

So Raya's good enough for Arsenal but not good enough for Tony.

Strange one that......... 

Should have been sacked for flogging Raya on the cheap and replacing him with Walton alone.

Never mind squandering  12m on BB and Gallagher, or paying our top paid player not to play for us for 2 seasons or paying Smallwood and Hart for 12 months not to play for us then giving them another month or giving Gladwin an extra deal as an act of Charity while he recuperated.

And people blame the owners for the fact we're short of money!
