Apart from Thierry Henry I can't think of a French striker who has done well in the Premier League.

Depends what you mean by well, but I'd add Giroud, Saha, Pires, Malouda to that for sure. (Pires and Malouda are wingers, not strikers... but so is Thauvin).

If we're talking more generally about attackers, I think you could also add Wiltord, Ginola, Djorkaeff, Nasri, Lacazette... I'm sure there's more.
 
Does anyone know whether a phased payment (in or out) in relation to a transfer counts in the seasons in which it is paid or does it all count in the season of signing/sale?

Just pondering FFP.

I'm fairly sure it's as the money is paid. Which is another reason I think transfer fees have become so inflated. Reported fees include so many add-ons that most won't actually reach those amounts. And I'd imagine the add ons and installments have increased with FFP

if we are paying £40m up front then it would all count this year, if we are paying in instalments then each instalment would be included in that years figures
 
I was led to believe that the payment (for accounting purposes) is spread across the length of the contract so in this case £10m per year.

Then again I could be wrong.
 
As it stands, with one month of the transfer window left, Leicester City are the Premier League top spenders this summer.
 
He's an insipid ****
I can’t think of a more boring player to watch. I’d genuinely rather watch Andy Impey chugging up and down the wing.
 
Apparently we have enquired about Mario Lemina from Southampton, along with Man Utd and Arsenal.

We're playing at the table with the big boys this summer!

Not sure we need another centre mid now though, since we've got Youri, Maddison, Ndidi, Choudhury and Mendy (probably keep as back up). Also not sure Lemina is all that? Maybe we just enquired in case we didn't get Tielemans.
