A possibility of signing players is exciting. A possibility of signing players in positions we desperately need is doubly exciting

Nah he has always said that

This season and last. I mentioned the previous managers due to the three reasons of costs. Everything I said was true

How much did we spend in the summer? Genuine question, I have no idea... 6-7m

On the lowton link I wouldn't mind if he left for a few million but it does just leave us with a midfielder as backup

For a wide forward his goal/assist record isn't impressive

As Gil and Sinclair play on opposite sides of the field they may both happen

I'd be happy with Sinclair and dembele

Respectfully your wrong They were of similar sizes to what we were under MON. They also had either location or infrastructure going for them depending on which club you want to talk about. In a world of FFP where you can't spend anything you like now you also can't have someone come in throw 500m at it and do the same thing as several clubs have found out in the first round of sanctions.

I agree with that to a large extent but as of now we don't need to spread what funds we do have around that will be a choice of the manager so we could just bring in one or two a season and pay more

We can't afford it we break even with what we do now. Best option in future is to buy players under 25 with potential and hope they sell for more to build aka the Spurs model over the years.

Drugs are just bad.....mmmmkay.I was thinking the same thingExplain why this is a drug induced comment? Which players do you think the mighty villa will attract playing shit football and paying relatively low wages? Or did u forget that vlaar delph & benteke are on their way out. Next season expect to lose okore aswell. Even cleverly who most of the supporters don't want doesn't actually want to sign for villa 1. Selling Benteke for 45m isn't going to happen also finding buyers willing to pick up gabby and weimann in the same window isn't going to happen this isn't football manager. 2. Those players combined don't earn over 200k a week so the wage bill would be going up a fair chunk - there are other costs than transfer fees such as wages and sign on bonus'. As Sinclair and dembele is a combined 10m in fees that suggests you think it is a good idea to spend 40m on someone out of contract in 6 months, a player who has played in the premier league for 5 months after playing all his career I. The lower league and he ain't 20 and a Spurs bench warmer. Just no and that isn't even debating if they are the right players to sign or not. Seeing as your so clued up please tell us what's goin to happen? Who is going to be sold & who are we bringing in as you think the players I suggested ain't good enough? Not being rude just curious I replied to your comment with common sense not who was going to be signed

I wouldn't say they are miles apart they just play in vastly different teams

I really don't get all this discussion. If Lerner wanted to fund a transfer spending spree - he could - The fact that he doesn't is the problem - not FFP, Amortisation, capitalisation, how much profit we make - Lerner doesn't want to fund it. Agree totally. It was like when fans were saying he had no money, when he still had billions sitting around and he just sold the Browns for another cheeky Billion. He only doesn't want to fund it because he doesn't get enough back. He's making a loss constantly. One of the reasons Mr Fox was brought in, in order to change that, I assume. We don't make losses anymore with our spending it's roughly break even maybe even a couple of million in the black but it wasn't previously so to comply with FFP if we finished in a Europa spot we would still need to have less losses over the past 3 years to not be fined. That is the explanation.
