Ex-spiller: Charlie Cresswell

[leedslife]

Englands Charlie Cresswell is our Golden Ball winner for the 2025 #U21EURO.

Cresswell made at least eight more clearances (42) than any other player at the tournament. He also won the most Aerial Duels. Incredibly, he won as many Aerial Duels as the rest of the England squad combined.

In a summer where the quality of defending has been relatively poor at UEFA Youth Tournaments, Cresswell has just catalogued a course for up-and-coming centre-backs to study. He was England's most consistent performer throughout the entire tournament and defended his box and read the game with the nous of a seasoned veteran.

Litt synd vi ikke fikk mer ut av han i Leeds drakt. Spesielt når man er linket til litt av samme type stoppere i dette vinduet.

Var god i Millwall og etterhvrert i 22 / 23 sesongen. Close på årets lag i CC - tett på PO for et imponerende Millwall lag.

Mal apropos - Cresswells karrierevei viser vel at unge spillere MÅ ta litt vanskelige valg når de når en alder hvor spilletid blir det viktigste. Han ville neppe vært der han er i dag om han hadde blitt i Leeds, til det ville spilletiden blitt for knapp. Det blir bittert hvis Cresswell blir en klippe på A-landslaget, men klubben og supporterne får heller være stolte av å ha skapt enda en god fotballspiller

Svært godt oppsummert og nøyaktig min tanke.

🚨 EXCL: Borussia Dortmund approach Toulouse over deal to sign Charlie Cresswell. Opening bid for 23yo centre-back rejected as falls below #Toulouse valuation. Talks on England U21 int'l continue & #BVB also maintain Aaron Anselmino pursuit @TheAthleticFC

Toulouse har visstnok takket nei til Wolfsburgs 23m Euro-tilbud på Cresswell.
Vi har visstnok 15% av proF***en Toulouse får ved et salg.
Her er en poster som viser hva det faktisk kan ha å bety for oss:


Let's say he goes for around €30m. That would indicate Toulouse make a profit of about €25m give or take. 15% of that (I think it was?) now goes to Leeds, coming to about €3.75m, or roughly £3.25m

As far as I understand, that 3.25 goes all on this year's income, meaning we can directly offset 3.25m of expenditures. Assuming a 4 year contract of linear amortisation, that would allow us to sign a player for 3.25*4=13m without affecting PSR

Probably lots of nuance to it, but I think that's roughly how it works

...

Brilliant post. 👍 you would have to take wages into account although these could be offset by a player sale, but for me the main nuance is the fact that we only have 6 months of this financial year and PSR left so for PSR purposes the Cresswell money only has to cover 6 months of the new signings transfer fee, so I recon we could sign someone on your example for £26m. Have I got the maths right ?
