At first, we all laughed about the "transfer fees" when a player moved from Salzburg to Leipzig, but it seems those were cleverly calculated to circumvent FFP. Sadly, that kind of #### is still tolerated in world football (the Pozzo family and their Udinese-Watford-Granada network is another example) and it seems to get worse.
Meanwhile, Kelechi Iheanacho FINALLY gets his move to Leicester for £25m. City have a £50m buy-back clause. Makes sense for all parties I think.

That buyback is why I didn't want him at Spurs though. I like him and I think that he's good, but City doesn't care about money. They could buy him back on August 31 and you're screwed. Sure you have the cash, but now 4 months without a striker.
Anyway, maybe that gets Mahrez/Gray/Drinkwater moving from Leicester now?
