How Dry should our Powder be?

That's not unrealistic. It shouldn't be.

I wouldn't sell Richy if Gimenez is the striker we bring tho. I don't see Gimenez as 100% the starter of the two. at least not straight away.

We'd also need a couple defenders and maybe a back up GK.

For me as it stands, going for a mix of realistic and what I think the club should be prepared to do:

IN
Openda (70-80m) I get people want a big unit here but Gyokeres isn't happening.
Hudson-Odoi/Summerville (20m)
Eze/Gibbs-White (50m)
Gallagher (35m)
Gray (25m)
Amazingly scouted Japanese CB (10-15m)

215m

OUT
PEH (15m)
Davies (8m)
Royal (20m)
Gil (12m)
Solomon (10m)
Spence (10m)
GLC (10m)
Ndombele (Walkers Crisps)

85-86m

NET
130 ish


There is no #6 there either but if we get Gallagher I can see us getting to January at least without one. Market for 6's is a bit shit and if Ugarte is the only one on the market, he ain't coming here.

Not one star or established player amongst that lot ;)
 
You can't compare those 2 cases at all. Palmer is older and had a few EPL games already and he had Bernardo Silva and Foden in front of him - two of the best left-footed attackers in the world. And in CMF he had de Bruyne, Silva, and Foden to compete with.
Spurs ended up spending the around the same amount on Brennan Johnson, so...
Ha I know. The Mikey Moore comparison was a joke. I just don't know if you could call Palmer PL proven last summer when all he'd had was a smattering of sub appearances.
 
He's not Kane or Bale.

You love to get lost in this definitions of shit don't you? Really weird.

He's still a star.

A "star"

Wonder if his value was half of that you'd be saying the same thing, probably not. 😆

Like I said:

3rd top scorer in the Bundesliga
Belgium's starting striker for the Euros and could be a darkhorse shout for golden boot
31 G/As this season (More than Haaland's last season and 4 less than his best season in the Bundesliga)
25 G/A's the season before in France
20 the season before in the Eriedivisie

That is a star player by every rating except Shady's magical land of denial.
