Maybe we're getting Mateta after all, and Watkins is off?

Bit of a strange one. We can only make three changes to the Europa squad. Tammy/Bailey/Luiz in, so if we are bringing in another player are they just going to play in the league + FA Cup? Or can we sign someone U21 who we would not have to register.

Sterling as a six month gamble I could live with. I imagine he's off to Saudi or the US, though.

He hasn’t played for 2 years, has he?

Anyone we sign at this point and we want to play in Europe needs to be named in the main squad.

Or one of Bailey / Tammy / DL doesn't go in the EL squad.

With buzz kill PSR and all UEFA’s own sinister machinations, it might be a case of the bulk of Malen’s wage going towards Tammy’s arrival and the Guessman’s going towards Doug.

We have Bailey back on the books, too. And he’s one of our top earners.

Might not be a whole pile left to do much more, even if Palace are helping us out.

You can post here from your dreams? That's some impressive tech.

Feels very unlikely for the aforementioned UEFA squad rule reasons. We can't use them all.

I think Roma are still paying whatever they were due to pay aren’t they?
