Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[Richard E]

I think people are taking that as the implication from what Purslow said because he didn’t say anything about further new signings.

[frank black]

No more signings, I gather

Close the thread til Jan

Who told you and why? Pixies are good whisperers but...

Purslow just announced we’ve done some great business, thanks Jack and we’ve replaced him with 3 players…very much left you with the impression that’s business done. Could be a double bluff?

[PaulWinch again]

Sounds like we’re done based on that statement.

We should still have like £5M left of the 100 to go spend on someone.

We are short of a defensive midfielder for sure. We are in the black with our transfer dealings this summer so we must have money to spend still surely?

He said we've replaced the rat. He didn't say anything about other positions one way or the other.

Doesn’t suggest that in my opinion. Just states that we’ve got in three players to be better than relying solely on one. It doesn’t replace our need in midfield, at CB, another keeper etc. So I think one more top player to come in probably in the middle and then a back up CB and keeper.

[LukeJames]

Sounded to me like he was just saying we have brought 3 players to replace what Grealish brought, rather than relying on one. We'll still do business in other positions, I am 100% confident of that.

[Richard E]

Well we know, I think, that Tuanzebe at least is still coming in.

[andyh]

The 3 signings plus AY, the now settled team and academy players did ‘sound’ like that’s it.

[PaulTheVillan]

He was hardly going to say we’re after more when we’ve just pulled a rabbit out of the hat in Ings

[cdbearsfan]

He said we've replaced the rat. He didn't say anything about other positions one way or the other.

Exactly. He'd have to be pretty stupid to say "and we still have another hundred million quid to spend, can't wait!"

[PaulWinch again]

Yes on reflection I’d be surprised if all our business was to cover the loss of Jack. There are other issues that need fixing.

[frank black]

He said we've replaced the rat. He didn't say anything about other positions one way or the other.

He didn’t, but he quite deliberately went from talking about the signings to saying let’s go for the start of the season…. Perhaps this was deliberate to give the message we’ve spent the Grealish money and therefore can’t be taken for a ride… It very much gave the impression the big business is done

[Dave]

I didn’t know until I read it today that in Spain, (I’m probably oversimplifying) the authorities set club's wage cap based on projected revenue.

Yup, apparently Barcelona are going to have a wage cap (or were until that big La Liga investment the other day) of around £160m - which is about the same as Crystal Palace.
