IF they sell Dunk.

Unlike Pakace of course who have already gpt 50 million from awb but spent 2.5million.

But can see you point lolol

I wonder if we go in with a 2nd bid for Watkins?

The difference is that the owners of Palace have stopped investing, so we have to sell to buy. If Brighton need to spend the Penguin just waddles into his Penguindome with another suitcase full of mysteriously obtained cash, which will subsequently appear in their accounts as "community projects" and "infrastructure improvements" or the like. Plus they have a much lower wages to income percentage than us, meaning we have to move high earners on before signing more high earners.

Have you considered Mastermind, specialising in the bleedin' obvious?

You made a point that we have received considerably more than we've spent, so far, unlike Brighton who've spent more than they've received. My response was that, due to current lack of investment, and our overblown wages bill, we need to sell to buy; Brighton don't. I can't see what's difficult to understand about that.

Going back to Watkins and Maupay, I find myself wondering why their former manager Dean Smith hasn't signed them up for Villa within their spending spree.

His view may be that neither are ready for the Premiership and possibly that they never will be .....

Is Watkins only coming if Zaha goes ?
