cool, so basically, with zero player sales, we can:

1) Afford 30m for a player (Bailey or similar), with an available salary of circa 80k.

2) We will then have roughly 10m to spare?

3) Any players sales can be added to the total(s)

4) so if we maxed out expenditure this summer, without any sales, we can expect to spend no more than 73m ish (33m - Buendia, 30m - Bailey (or similar), 10m - other) ?

 

Is that a fair assessment?

 

Yes pretty much. Although some of that spare money might have to reserved for improved contract for Jack and sanson which came in halfway last accounting period and who I didn't include in my calculations.

So realistically after signing Bailey, we will have to sell somebody like Hourihane or Elghazi to balance the books if we want further incomings.

That’s how I read it.

FFPs a bitch.

Semi-relevant as they're players that have been suggested in here previous, but Palace are trucking along quite nicely this window in terms of freshening things up. Olise, Guehi and have just announced Andersen as well as being in for midfielders apparently. 

Andersen is a good signing, he would have been ideal for our 3rd CB spot. I know Fulham were awful last year but he looked impressive and became the club captain even though he was only on loan, not sure I've seen that happen before.

I'm not sure that transfers are accounted for that way.

It's our old friend amortisation and how contracts are valued that complicates things.

I wouldn't be surprised if with a bit of creativity we can spend a considerable sum.

Problem there is he wouldn't settle for being a reserve here as he could just do that at Lyon so going to Palace makes sense as they've released likes of Cahill and Sakho.

It's a difficult one to sign I think given how well Hause played so no guarentee they'll even come in if the regular two get injured. Expecting Lange to help the manager out here in next month really.

We simply can't gamble getting through to January with just Mings, Konsa and Hause though. Mings been playing non stop for a year and often pulls up at end of games so would be far too risky. Who'd even step in if we were missing two at the same time, Luiz or one of the young lads? Although a few of them are being loaned out now.

Good point, I forgot Cahill / Sakho had gone. He'll be straight in their first 11 in that case. 

Its a tricky spot to fill for us, we need someone good enough but who won't be demanding to be in the first 11 straight away. I'd imagine it will be a right footer who will play understudy to Konsa, and Hause will understudy Mings.

Celtic out of the CL, not sure what this means for Odsonne Edouard's price or if we are even interested.

Fans were going berserk during the match about him being useless on twitterverse.  Sounds like he had a nightmare or couldn’t be bothered (might mean he’s off)

Sounds like he's been that way for a while from all reports

Wow, I didn’t know that.  I saw his name trending on Twitter and post after post was very critical.  If he’s been like this for a while no wonder Rogers at Leicester passed on him.

He's gone right off the boil. 

Showing worse form than Leigh Griffith's texting skills.

I would be surprised to see us interested in a striker of Edouard's level. We play with one striker without fail and it's obvious Watkins is the man there. Anyone we brought in up front is either going to be a development buy or someone for the bench.

Tbh unless someone goes out I don't see us buying a striker. And even then we might push someone from the Academy in the gap.

I think they passed on him because they weren’t willing to pay the fee Celtic were demanding thanks to that PSG clause.

Anyone been watching the Olympic football games? Any decent players/youngsters we could attract?

Cunha any good, for example?

Almada, Kubo? 

I don't know about the footballers but I reckon we should just push the boat out and go for Peaty. He'd improve our breaststroke immeasurably.

I know mine needs work, it hasn't seen much action since I got married.
