A month or so back, I was saying that we should look to buy 5 players at £8 million rather than one at £40 million. The answer that came back was that we only had £20 million to spend. Although no one could explain the basis for this figure. 6 weeks later, it doesn't really seem any clearer. We have signed two, but we are talking about another four. The figures being spoken about makes it seem like ww might even be north of the £40 million i was talking about. Does anyone have any better ideas how much we have to spend? Transfer budgets are the stuff of pure speculation unless revealed by the club's themselves. It's becoming an increasingly tough market unless you are happy to overpay. With Palace, I suspect there are a couple of outgoing deals to be done as well as incoming, and timing is key to getting those done.

Even if the club reveals its transfer budget, I guess that they need to be taken with a huge pinch of salt. It is all part of the game of smoke and mirrors, I guess.

We could do with upgrading Ward but it's certainly low on the list of priorities for me. He's a fairly consistent 6/7 out of 10 for us and though there is clearly room for improvement, getting in a new GK, another striker and a defensive leader significantly more pressing concerns as far as I'm concerned.

The simple answer is "no" as the only people that know exactly how much we have to spend are the manager and the board of directors. Incidentally if the figure of four more signings is correct one of them could be a loan don't forget Yeah I'd agree that Parish is most likely trying to get one of more expensive signings as a loan with option to buy. Maybe Chambers or the striker possition. If a £10-20m transfer can be a loan it's sure gonna make things easier. Don't expect Parish will make the same mistake and not have a buy option agreed should the player be for sale.

the further the the window is open, the better for us re: sakho. if LP can't offload him by end of the window, we may be able to get him for much cheaper than they'd be asking. they can't want to pay his wages as there's no chance he'll play.
