[Albion] There is ZERO chance of SIGNING anyone today.

BG does have a bit of a point in a way.

Jow much is left in the warchest after £60 million transfer fees, big sign on fees for especially Balogun and Andone, a new contract for Groß, no doubt another one for Dunk soon, and squad pay rises and wages ?

We need to maximise our incoming fees for sure.

And paying a big fee for a central defender as well looks tricky.

It's not about following the palace model. It's just that sometimes the budget is spent and further big fees ( £15 million for Moore etc. ) are not possible.


We may need to set aside budget for a new contract for Dunk when Leicester want to spend the Maguire money as well.

I am glad somerbody else can see my reasoning as we may struggle, hopefully not, and need to buy again in January when prices are at a premium for buying players
and may need to spend more than we want so putting some aside in case seems prudent to me. As many have said TB is a billionaire so he knows what he can afford and what he cant.

Pure conjecture...

Blue Valkyrie said:

Well yes, but that conjecture is that after Jahanbakhsh the budget is pretty much spent, and most remaining coins could be needed to fund a new deal for Dunk rather than paying £15 million to Reading.

It all depends on the incoming treasure for Skalak, Baldock, Norwood and Towell.

I reckon that Tony may have a few extra notes down the back of his sofa, but that is pure conjecture...

Cowfold Seagull said:

Tony Bloom has said on more than one occasion, that funds will ALWAYS be there for players, so affording them isn't the issue. Any potential problem arises on whether the club think the player in question is value for money. As we all know Tony won't ever spend more than he thinks a player is worth.

What a mess.

Extremely cheap bread.
Rind left on the cucumber.
Bits of chopped chive on the bench, but nary a sign of any in the actual sandwich.
Bits of random other green stuff on the bench and in the sandwich - why?
Cut the crust off the bread - what is this, the 1970s?
Most of all - WTactualF is that white spread anyway?

Total unmitigated disaster.
