An idea what this looked like for the last period for which there are published accounts? It feels like another step up in terms of overall salaries; a step up from eye watering to ludicrous?
Surely the key difference is we:
1. Don't need to sell anyone - Palace's finances are somewhat shakey and they seemingly do need to sell someone (not necessarily Zaha, but who else is worth enough?).
2. We value Maupay and White high because we don't want to sell them - Parris has told Zaha...
I don't see any irony. I feel that as long as they have time to recruit and the fee gives them the finances to purchase 2 or 3 players this may be a good thing for Palace.
