We won't have '' wasted '' £20m because the upfront fee is £15m. That and the fact that Johnstone will be leaving. Johnstone is on a decent contract, any ideas what he is going to bring in, there seems to be no mention of it, anywhere?

Only what I've heard, no idea if it's true, but he has a release clause of £10m apparently. If he gets the move back to the Midlands which he supposedly wants, then he has a few options although I can't see him being a first choice anywhere unless he drops down into the Championship. How about we use him in part exchange for Iversen and Iheanacho ?

Why didn’t we keep Butland and put the£20m wasted on Henderson towards a decent Striker?
Secondly, because the club didn't know in advance that Guaita would throw his toys out of the pram and didn't think it appropriate to keep 3 potential 1st choice keepers.

You mention Brighton ok look at Brighton yes playing extremely good football highest Premier league position last season in their history. Sold a number of good players and made good profits hit the Jackpot with Roberto De Zerbi. The difference between Brighton and Palace. Palace have the 15th lowest debt in Premiership of 84m

This is what we never know. Our financial position (accounts aside) have been and remain a total mystery to us fans. We can only guess what is available based on outgoings and incomings but such is the secrecy of some deals these days, even they are guesswork.

Exactly, which means their debt is 0, he could sell the club, clear the debt and still make a profit, which he won't anyway. I can accept other clubs just being better run than us, like Brighton, Brentford but we've got a great opportunity now and I'd be disappointed if the board didn't jump on it. I can understand in previous seasons with the threat of relegation but this season we must be about 20/1 on to remain in the league. Give Roy the three players he needs and let him have a good go.

“Three top first team players shirt in the squad” - sounds like Roy is either conceding defeat in anymore players being added or another cry for help to the owners

Much to shareholders and some to a bank. It's probably more now. We've been making small losses or just about breaking even recently. We have very tight margins - as is reflected in our transfer business. Still, a lot goes on wages and our Matchday and merchandise income is poor.
