From two signings before pre season to 1 during early pre season

Athletic top 5 stand ours at euro u21

You do realise in your scenario he could go to a premier club on a free?

As I've said many times , he won't be going anywhere this summer as no market exists at a price which would make sense for us. Next summer it will depend on if he resigns, if he doesn't we will have to part ways, id still expect between 100-120m though.

This is exactly what is happening. We tried to go early if people recall but we're rejected 3 times. (Huijsen, Delap, Mbuemo).

Which makes sense they don't sell the best players they have until they are over the hill. See RVP. Arsenal fans are such weirdos. Imagine us selling Isak and blasting about our record sale being 100m + Small club mentality.

Which player are they referring? I know they suffer from delusional but the fact they got good money for an over hyped crock and someone who specialised in scoring in the league cup is beyond me.

It's a silly comment. They won the fa cup and qualified for Europe and maintained their place on the gravy train. Massive win for Parish and Palace and vindicates them.

So, we don't reckon he was brought in to do the transfers and this hasn't materlised?

Arsenal seem to get good fees for players which are bang average as well.

Teams have forever being overpaying for liverpools riff raff.

Your right it has. I think this window is fundamentally different in that we do have PSR headroom so we will be investing. As per my original post. It will always be difficult for us to get our first choice targets as the competition for those can and do pay bigger fees and wages. This will continue to be the challenge until we can achieve revenue parity (Which I actually don't see happening any time soon but that's another topic )

It feels that way but we don't know if that is actually true at this point. We can revisit this assessment at the end of the window. After all, it's still only June. If a month or radio silence passes I will be right next to you but for now I don't see any reasons to panic.

Whilst true it's also much more difficult for us to secure our first choice targets. The simple fact is, we aren't any players first choice so we are somewhat reliant on our sky 6 rivals not being interested.

Any young player is a gamble, the point being 6 good months increased the price exponentially. As I said, player value will always have many factors but across the board two identical players one with no premier League experience and one with the pl experience will command a premium. You may want to have a read/listen to how to win the premier League, it's a great book which dives into many aspect of this.

He was contracted to Juve and on loan at Roma. He was anything but obscure.

Absolutely aye, was weird they dragged it up given precisely nothing has been done on this area. Meanwhile Chelsea abusing it right and left and even the whiter than white Liverpool will be spinning something up.

It's obviously rancid but this is something which was discussed shortly after the takeover. It's in the long grass with a lot of other high level decisions.

It's obviously not a myth like. How Huijsen is like the perfect example of this effect. Player prices are very much a case by case factor though.

Now new posters coming in giving it the big IAM deserve the boot. Different cloth

I understand both of the sentiments expressed here however I think it's actually very likely a player would say he's going somewhere without it actually happening. Ultimately the player can believe it as it's what hes been lead to believe by all parties but it still might fall through. I think Trafford would be a prime example of this. I also wouldn't view @Shadow Puppetsas an itk he's just passing on what he's heard and probably regretting it Very little to be gained being a NO Exclusive itk tbh.

Let's not lump on to @Shadow Puppetslads he's just sharing what he gets. He's got no responsibility or control over what does or doesn't happen.

This lads plays for Benfica? If so I imagine it will be a watching brief only. I don't imagine us spending significant sums on moonshots.

Thanks for sharing this SP.
