If Palace have told him we have bid, he's going to report it.
Pretty sure we did the same with Minteh and Romano, and have tried doing the same with Ben Jacobs and Miggy.
We came 7th with Chelsea and Man U having off seasons. I think it will be harder this year, although it is still pretty open.
Can see it being only a few points separating 8th and 4th unless one team storms it.
and our club. The pressure on him will be immense with that kind of price tag.
Will be great fun when he gets rinsed in the air by Richarlison at the weekend.
The players Ashley bought and a 33 year old Trippier.
We would have to buy solid level European players and make. Unless Anderson gets injured or has a horrific season he maintains value and would fill a need in the team.
Not everything has to be a profit. We could have signed Joachim Anderson for 30m 4 year deal and sold him for 25m next summer and broke even.
A clever deal where we temporarily improve the squad could be the difference of 10s of millions in prize money.
I don't know why every one of our signings needs to be a potential superstar or a young player. Sometimes you can paper over the cracks for a season with decent loan.
