Have to remember as well that if we sign a player on a five year deal say for £25m, then the cost per year in the accounts is only (only lol) £5m per year (plus wages of course).
It's also unlikely that cash wise we would have to stump up the full £25m in one go as that's usually staggered (see Villa, A. for further reading on that subject).
Basically we can definitely afford to be putting that sort of bid in. Crazy as it seems for a Brighton fan!
