I agreeLonger he goes without signing that new contract the more I think it will happen, but then again I saw stories from yesterday that they're still in talks.
Seems odd we've gone from being linked to all the strikers to all the wingers now.
You think we have the funds to do both those deals without selling Kane?I’ll put in here but I think we will end up with Martinez and Traore
and play a 4-4-2 with son and Traore wide
Kane and Martinez central
To the extent that there was truth in these rumours in the first place I think those expensive striker links was seen more as potential Kane replacements.Longer he goes without signing that new contract the more I think it will happen, but then again I saw stories from yesterday that they're still in talks.

We’re in profit so far so yeah I doYou think we have the funds to do both those deals without selling Kane?To the extent that there was truth in these rumours in the first place I think those expensive striker links was seen more as potential Kane replacements.
A week left of the window and Kane is still here, so we're looking at other areas to strengthen.
Profit, but we've committed on Romero for the future. Even if deals can be made as loans with obligations to buy that money will have to be paid.We’re in profit so far so yeah I do
I think Traore could be a pain to buy on the never never (how they sold Jota) and Martinez is money down this window and payment plan
But I’m playing FM here don’t forget

I think it’s exactly what we’re doingProfit, but we've committed on Romero for the future. Even if deals can be made as loans with obligations to buy that money will have to be paid.
Can we put ourselves in a situation where we're committed to paying big sums for several players over the coming years with no completed incoming fees to offset that?
Whatever happens this season chances are we'll need to do some business next summer too. Starting next summer way in the red to the tune of somewhere north of £80-100m+? Someone needs to check on Levy if we do that.
If we find that illusive buying (loan+obligation) club for Ndombele, Sanchez and/or Winks that might be enough?
We are in profitWe're not in profit. Loans aren't free. We haven't spent that much though.
The deals we did last summer were reportedly also heavily weighted towards future payments.I think it’s exactly what we’re doing
Wouldn’t be surprised to see if we have some new Covid income insurance in place too now (like Wimbledon had)
The club can hedge it’s stadium income this season and because our wages were always sensible we may well have the ability to commit more money than people realise
We did some deals like this last season too when everyone expected us to spend NO money
YepThe deals we did last summer were reportedly also heavily weighted towards future payments.
Hey, if Levy thinks it's financially viable I won't argue or complain. Would surprise me is all.
We are in profit
The reported money we have brought in is greater than money we have reportedly spent to date
Happy for someone to show me more details of the clubs finances that none do us have access too.
We haven’t took the Edwards dealCan only go by reports.
In
Gil £25m
Romero loan. Fee expected to be £47m. So loan fee in the region of £10m.
Golini loan. Fee expected to be £15m. So loan fee in th region of £3m.
Total £38m.
Out
Toby reports between £3-13m.
Foyth £13m
Hart £1m
Sell on edwards £3m
Total £20-30m.
Yep
And of course who did we actually end up buying last summer
Rodon
Doherty
Reggie
Hojbjerg
Anyone else?
The Reggie deal was reasonable big money
That deal went through first window under Jose didn’t it? The January oneLo celso. He was on loan before.
We haven’t took the Edwards deal
And whilst I don’t agree with you around the loan fees there has been nothing reported anywhere on them
Most reported the Romero deal as a straight transfer at the time too
You forget Lamela out too
That deal went through first window under Jose didn’t it? The January one
I’ve read it was Lamela and £15mLamela was part of the gil transfer. It was lamela + £25m for gil.
We didSummer 2019 we got him on a season long loan according to wiki.
