Don't understand this sneering at other clubs. Didn't we have the 5th highest spend in Europe last summer or something stupid? And running at £20M+ per year losses?
Perhaps they are interested, but the only club properly interested and the agent has leaked the story to drum up interest? So now Palace are annoyed at that

Also you can...
How much did Sheff Utd spend last year / when they got promoted? They also have a fairly wealth Saudi - although even he says his wealth is fairly 'modest' by Saudi standards.
Like I keep saying I think we simply have wasted too much in previous years and still have too many big wages on our...
Is there not some middle ground in that ? There is a world of difference between if Liverpool don't want him back then he must be shit and being good PL striker. Same with Ake, Chelsea had a buy back but let him go to Man City instead.
Eitherway, £25M and/or wages obviously out of our budget

That's the issue innit - every couple of years they can sell a player for big bucks. We've gone through 4 years with 0 outs and a big spend. We now have a bloated squad, with big wages and although we've offloaded a few, still not attracted much in terms of funds.
I wonder - was giving Murray...
