Why would Split pay his wages- he’s out until the Summer?

This is probably a rare example of a club doing the right thing for a player and his family.

(And frees up some of our medical resources ready for the next crock.)

Yeh been covered off
 
His return date is June and our last fixture is 19 May. Ange said quite clearly that he'd never be an option for us again.

The move is about him getting fit for the Euros, and also helping the Split dressing room get over the line in their title chase. They are 6 points clear at the top but have played more games. Their rivals Zargreb have won the league for the last 16 or 17 consecutive seasons.
I stand corrected i thought he was back sooner.
 
A more stylistic fit type option for Porro may be a good change at some point. Emerson is less vital after Dragusin came in as we have a viable RCB option. Still I'm not convinced January is the time to be looking for another right back in addition to what we're seemingly already trying to do.
Agree in general. But i wouldn't want to condemn poor Royal to Saudi, whatever the price. He's a good guy and a decent player, and deserves much better

If they were willing to pay 50m+ I'd say we have to do it. Double the price for a player who doesn't quite match our prime attribute needs is great business. I say this as a fan of Royal, I've been one of the use who have always seen the quality here brings in defensive spaces.
 
I read we are paying the wages of Ivan and Dier even though they are on loan? Is this the case?

No, Bayern are paying his wages and a loan fee (hence the talk about £3M)

Perisic wages are probably being covered by insurance, to @johnola point, we are just doing the right thing there with the only real upside for us is the freed up slot in squad. We have been a been decent with that in recent times (no fee on Lloris, other examples)

Cool
 
Seeing as some recent transfers don't suit angeball so well (like Maddison and Richie), and on top of the dross that we have failed to release over the years, I think it's another 2 windows at least to get a suitable 22 playing angeball seamlessly.

A lot will depend on finances as usual...playing in Europe (more games more tv cash?), stadium sponsorships and cash injection (from a third party) will hasten the process but also the quality we bring in. Noted that the club announced losses recently, hopefully the non football activities are pulling their weight in contributing to the bottom line.

On the bright side we seem to have a lot of high potential youngsters and hopefully with more games next season Ange will feel more comfortable using them. Can always loan them out mid season if they don't make the cut.

Since paratici's arrival we seem to be able to find good deals mid season. So I expect it to carry on and expect lange to cast the net wider across Europe.

The goal for next season should be champions league placing. No need to rush to win the league or trophy ASAP.
