So Palace sell their best crosser of the ball to help fund the purchase of a big lump who needs crosses slung in to the box . Makes sense.

As far as I'm aware, Townsend has not been sold. To describe Benteke as "a big lump" is hilariously bitter.

Makes me really want the PL bubble to burst and these clubs really find themselves deep in the mire.
I really hope any new immigration rules that come in the future, really stops players without the international qualification from coming here. That could have a huge effect on the attraction of the PL and Sky could have to scale things down.

From our perspective, the sales outweigh the buys, so I think we are being prudent.
The likes of the Mancs splashing shitloads is obscene

Love the way Palace supporters celebrate a transfer fee that exceeds their last administration debt
This. I obviously want Albion to get to Prem but am worried how I will actually feel regarding the obscene money aspect.

[MENTION=25756]Se20[/MENTION] I'd be really careful about describing yourself as 'prudent' if the figures surrounding your Benteke offer have any basis in reality.
Never splashed the cash on Sky or any other pay channel and never will. Still think it is all obscene though. Would help me if I heard that all these cash rich players were helping those less fortunate in life via charities etc..

They went into admin owing just over £32 million to creditors, but yes close.

Absolutely and yes I have canceled mine.

Which funnily enough equates to two years of Brighton's losses.
Let's be honest, the only difference is that your sugar daddy is considerably richer than our sugar daddy was. The level of overspend is comparable.
Back on topic, the cost of players and the wages being spent at the top is utterly repugnant.

£30m for a bloke who can't cross and rarely scores.
Football will go bust soon.

About £20m more than he's actually worth. This summer is just crazy. How clubs can complain about their solidarity payments to the FL is a disgrace.
Good deal for Palace, they've swapped one erratic winger with no end product for another with £20m in their favour. Both are excellent dribblers with plenty of pace but neither has any idea in the final third. Maybe they can put a bid in for the Sainsbury's and clad that?
