I can’t recall ever seeing someone doing their kit picture while wearing glasses.

Because if we get €10m, we've made €5m profit on him, plus whatever we get with the 30% sell on and his wages covered.

I don't get this.

We signed him for 15m euros, going up to 17. And might be selling him for 10m euros. How would we have made a 5m euro profit on him?

He's only worth 5m in the books to us.

Wasn't he signed for €15m plus add ons?

He was, they're saying it's a profit in terms of how much of his fee is left to be amortised on our books.

Right. Thanks.

So in that respect you can spin it like that from a PSR perspective. The wording made it sound more like a profit on him overall as a player - in terms of the fee we paid for him compared to the fee we're selling him for - not just how he currently stands on the books in terms of PSR.
