No. Shorthouse.
[Albion] There is ZERO chance of SIGNING anyone today.

No. Shorthouse.
Of course.They have already done so, with Maupay, and previously (allowing for slight inflation) with Locadia
Not that I'm suggesting for a second that we don't desperately need another one now - just disputing the suggestion they've never paid those figures.
The point I was badly making is there always seems little sense of need over financial principles.
At this point I struggle because I want to have my cake and eat it.
As said on the one hand I never expect Mr Bloom to play fast and loose with his money.
(I doubt he even has the capacity to do so).
But by the same token I don't want that rigidity to keep standing in the way of forward (in every sense of the word) progress.
Much like Bozza I firmly believe a striker will be signed.
I believe that striker was agreed upon (in Sussex at least) a comparatively long time ago.
My questions surrounding this eventual signing are:-
How much did he cost?
How much would it have cost to have him arrive 01.01.20?
The way the club tells us it operates would suggest it would rather buy the player at the right price than at the right time.
This transfer in particular, even without hindsight, smacks of one that needed to be done and dusted irrespective of the financial hit incurred.

It seems that this is possibly not a loan and Ahannach has left the club on a free.

Fair enough- it looked like his career had stalled here. Too old for the U23s, and nowhere near the first team. Surprised he's not gone before, tbh. Anyway, good luck to him.

I'm trying to get someone to take him off my hands in Football Manager - no takers...
Have you and lunch with Paul, Dan and Tony or something?
Where does this belief come from? Or is it just hope?

It's made up balderdash and piffle, as usual.
But we've had enough missives from the club to suggest it isn't too far from the mark.
I doubt anybody at palace ever pops up to say:-
'this window we're going to be super cautious with money'
In much the same way Mssrs Bloom and Barber has never been seen like this:-

Dev Squad ?
Actually, in all seriousness, it is unthinkable really that we won't sign a striker for the men's first team squad.

I am absolutely convinced we won't.
We’ll probably sign someone for the Women’s team, and NSC will literally combust at the club’s “NEW STRIKER SIGNS!!l” email.

McAllister paying dividends would be good - plus reduce the total value (very high) of players we currently have out on loan ( and that is before Glen Murray potentially going).
I made it £38 million worth, which is staggering when we are so short (in all senses of the word) , up front (Locadia - £15m, Andone £5m, Tau £1m, McAllister £7m, Knockaert £10m)

Apparently Graham Potter is currently at Heathrow flying out to Prague. With another man, not sure who.

Well it is Transfer Deadline Day today for the women, so perhaps they can resist that little stunt for just a few more hours...

What, condoms?
Nah, we'll sign a guy, but it will be another very young 'one-for-the-future' who we immediately send out on loan to Rochdale or Walsall
