Can’t stand them or their smug CJTC of a manager. Hope they quickly fall back to where they belong. Plucky cheats.

It would be nice to think that Mr Smug and Bournemouth "are feeling the pinch". They have signed David Brookes for a reported £12 million but Blades fans are moaning that it is three instalments of £4 million.
It all smells a bit Palacey doesn't it. Poor show from Plucky to treat the bloke like that.

"The Pluckies" to make another statement of intent with a £57 million double swoop for Colombia midfielder Jefferson Lerna and Uruguay star Diego Laxalt (The Sun). Lerna valued at £32 million - he cost Levante £500k and Laxalt at £25 million - he cost Genoa £5m.
I hope Smug Eddie's boys will have enough left to pay their FFP fine for "cheating".

Laxalt was brilliant in the WC. Surprised that a CL club somewhere in Europe didn't beat Plucky.
Possibly using their Defoe clinching tactics, of paying obscene wages.
£62m on 2 players = signalling their intent to withdraw from the group of clubs in the relegation mix, as West Ham & Stains are.

Problem is all the time a team remains in the premier league any fine is petty cash

They don't seem to bother with scouting any more.
Instead, they watch great players on TV, then spend sums on wages/fees at a similar level to far bigger Everton, Arsenal and West Ham.
FFP cheats?

Of course. Anything other than that is a bonus.

Plucky are rich. A fee rising to £27m on one player!
Great article.
I see that in 16/17 Palace paid their players the highest percentage of their income, with (surprise surprise) Spuds the lowest.
We appear to have been careful and well run, with our present income (based on guesswork) and spending 'feeling' sensible and appropriate.
Yeah but they have a tremendous coach, and lovely beaches. Just like Barcelona really.
This.

Not really, just more likely that the plucky will end up in the top half of the table. There are plenty of other clubs not spending that big and in fairness we have been splashing the cash recently. It more than likely just helps Bournemouth avoid the relegation scrap, it doesn’t make it any more difficult for us than it was already.

You’ve enthused me. Dropping NSC for Rightmove, to look at making that big move to B’muff. What a place.
I'm with you bro. Let's be inspired by this (you can be Rolf):

Nice article again. Seems a fairer settlement than the QPR shambles.

I particularly love their futuristic stadium. No expense was spared.
Seats are a bit narrow though.

Ta. The lyrics and video don’t match. The video contains shots solely of the Cote d’Boscombe, whereas the lyrics talk of less exotic Hawaii and Ibiza.
