Feel like we would be pissing in the wind tho

...blimey, that escalated quickly
Or we stood back and let him make his mind up, passively, and got "lucky" that he chose us.Yet we just signed Dragusin rather than walking away when Bayern tabled a bid and the player (very sensibly in my view) took some time to consider what was best for him. :/ Utter made-up agenda-driven nonsense.
Rodrigo and Kulu disagree

Of course it was, We have a reported £485million of FFP wriggle room at our disposal built up through years of frugality and profit.
But we just never, ever, seize the moment and take the opportunity to push on.
It's the way this club works and it's why Ange will be unnecessarily be operating in a straight jacket just like his predecessors
Are you not one of the mob punting us to spend 50 million on Gallagher? We spent 50 on BJ and 60 on Richarlison...
We can thank Juve's incompetency for that
People really struggle to understand this bit! You're absolutely right.£485m wriggle room isn't £485m to spend.
This was my point. There are incompetent (financially) clubs out there that might be tempted into a sale they wouldn't normally because of FFP.
Who is to say we throw 90m at Milan for Leao that they don't accept it because they need the money? For example... This feels like the kind of window where that type of opportunity might be out there where it wouldn't usually be and all our years of prudent spending might present a chance to capitalize...
You can at least see what I'm saying?
Copamine levels high in here today!
I doubt we even have that kind of money is the point. Let alone the repercussions of spending it then failing to recoup it through income.People really struggle to understand this bit! You're absolutely right.
If we went and spent £300m this summer on new players, it didn't work out, we'd then be in the position Newcastle and Chelsea find themselves.
I trust the current set up (Lange, Munn and Paratici) to spend it wiser than others have, but still.. It needs to be done carefully and correctly.
Seen links to Dewsbury-Hall. I'd have to put my personal dislike for the guy aside if we were to sign him.
Leao's release clause is £175m
I can see what you're saying but there's one thing we know about Levy is that he knows when there's opportunities in the market, nothing obvious stands out to me from what I see.
More than that imoThe Chance we should take is Niko Williams a player I have actually watched. He would cost £50M and we would have to pay the clause but he can be an elite winger who can go both ways and would come straight into our first team.
£40m is a little steep for a 25 year old that hasn't made a single England senior appearance, no one picked up when they went down. I think he is an alright player, but think you can get better for that.Where were the links?
Probably the perfect fit for a player that can play the B2B 8 with Maddison but also play the 8/10 role to cover Maddison. Can probably play the 6 as well.
Never really paid attention to him as a pressing player without the ball but in possession he's a much better fit for what we need than Gallagher.
40m would do it.
I think you're pretty much on the money there, mate. There's been the odd exception but that's usually a last minute panic buy like Sissoko after dithering, fucking about and ultimately missing out on the managers first / second choice or, as you say, pulling away when someone else gets involved.The club's strategy appears to be, that we go after a target, if we are able to get a clear run at them.
They seem to want, a player to be all in on them, with no other clubs involved, so no bidding war which increases the amount.
I think it's quite risky and limited, relying on a target not changing their mind, like we have just seen.
I guess this has been a Levy policy, to ensure we don't pay too much, but Kane will need to be replaced, and another year or two so will son, that is going to cost a bit is the club ready.
