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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 28, 2021 Moderator Share Posted July 28, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited July 28, 2021 by VillaChris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I think we can spend a lot more but would need to redress the balance next year (unless we get into Europe). They’ve stretched the loss making period over several years due to COVID 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted July 28, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know mine needs work, it hasn't seen much action since I got married. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
