Gooooooooooooooooooooolll
Thanks for the update [MENTION=24867]chaileyjem[/MENTION] - much appreciated, good work.
Just one comment: Poor old (young) Josh Kerr must be feeling a bit left out of your "Incoming Signed" section, even though he is in the U23's. You do after all include the U23's in your "The usual" paragraph!

At the moment we've got just 3 strikers with two prone to injury and one unlikely to make the grade in the Premier League so I think we need to sign 2-3 decent strikers if we are to hold our own (stay up) this season. I'm confident the club will do whatever is necessary to get the right sort of players in but I won't pretend that I'm not nervous about the consequences if we don't.

And these words from TB about 2017/18. Its mostly his money after all:
"Money is spent every season at every single club. We have to strengthen, that goes without saying. But we’re not looking to spend huge amounts. We’ll do things on a gradual basis, as we have done. We have good players already, and we want to strengthen from that position."
The most important words to take notice of this summer. TB knows what he's doing.

Depends on what he means by huge. Relistically it gong to take at least 25m to get us in a position to maybe compete. Still have trouble getting my head round 25m being a small amount in football terms.
They will spend huge amounts. Club turnover per annum rising from £25m to £130m. Part of the £105m will in effect mitigate the current annual loss of £25m, covering the excess of expenditure over income. Leaving £80m this summer alone to go on increased player wages, agents fees and a share of the amortisation of new transfer fees (spread over the life of contracts).
Bloom is not going to sit on most of the extra £80m, whilst watching up go down with a whimper, due to a Championship level squad.

Yeah, we're going to have to get used to those buggers sticking their fingers in our Piglet Pantries.

A last resort could be the Barry Lloyd route, by raiding West Sussex clubs.
