All transfers have FFP implications spread over a three year period. Swansea have big parachute payments to soften those but they still have to watch the pennies.

Well Stoke have spent a net £~15m in this transfer window, when in ostensibly the same FFP boat. That could be Stoke gambling on not being in the Football League for long enough that FFP matters, or indicative that Swansea have deeper financial issues than Stoke. Or most likely some combination of things being worse at the Liberty Stadium, and Stoke overspending in the hope of an immediate return.

Fulham have spent £110m and added expensive loans to their wage bill.
What's their ownership like? Because that looks like the sort of shit-or-bust thing that failed a lot of times in the mid noughties.
That said, there are some good players in there.
In: Jean Michaël Seri Nice, £25m; Maxime le Marchand Nice, £3m; André Frank Zambo Anguissa Marseille, £30m; Aleksandar Mitrovic Newcastle, £22m; Alfie Mawson Swansea, £20m; Joe Bryan Fulham, £6m; Fabri Besiktas, £5m; Timothy Fosu-Mensah Manchester United, loan; Luciano Vietto Atlético Madrid, loan; André Schürrle Dortmund, loan; Calum Chambers Arsenal, loan; Sergio Rico Sevilla, loan.

Fulham are now owned by the bloke who wants to buy Wembley, aren't they? Letting a club go bankrupt would be a bad move on his part whilst that deal is still being made.
Fulham's parachute payments had ran out, so they have also seen a massive budget increase this summer. And if they manage to pay themselves for transfers (cf. "Joe Bryan Fulham, £6m") that will help keep the money within the club!

When are the 25-man Premier League squads coming out? You'd have thought that if you're going to be neat and have your window close before the start of the season, you'd also want the squads all tied up as well.
I suppose the thinking might be that clubs will have to cut loose a fair bit of chaff in the open European markets, and delaying the squads means they can name those left behind at the end of that process.

Originally posted by cantagalo View PostThis probably counts as the best ever transfer window for Brentford. The breakdown of negotiations with Swansea for Ryan Woods means that for now, weve managed to keep all our best players and add to the depth of the squad with more promising young talent.
One worry though is the loophole in the new transfer window deadline. Players can be loaned with a view to a permanent sale in January right up until August 31st. If Swansea come back and try that one on, I hope our Directors of Football tell them to piss off.
Im struggling to understand how Swansea, having received about £100m* in TV revenue from the PL for getting relegated plus substantial fees for Mawson, Clucas and others and with parachute payments to come, can have got themselves into such a financial state that they cannot afford an extra £500,000 to meet Brentfords more than reasonable valuation of Woods.
*Im guessing here

You know this is all being discussed on the right thread, Summer Transfers 2019, not the one for last close season?
