Even including Porro and Kulu, we are getting blown out the water by Bournemouth….

And this is meant to be a rebuild with a lot of player turnover.

Pathetic from Levy

Are you 12 years old?

It's obvious our transfer business hasn't concluded

People that get wound up by these sort of things make me laugh, even more so it's from fekin TalkSport who farm for engagement from gullible and impatient people like you.

Pointless Tweet, pointless even posting it in here.

Pathetic from Liverpool, Chelsea and Man City then too.

Except there are no trophies for net spend. The aim is to improve the squad and out of all Bournemouths signings I’d only take Alex Scott at spurs. And yet on your silly logic if we had made all their signings we’d be doing « better » because we’d have a higher net spend.

It’s definitely pathetic from Liverpool. They’ve failed to attain most of their top targets and left big gaps in the team.

Net spend is the biggest fallacy in football I swear, unbelievable the amount of people who quote it as some form of gospel argument as to whether clubs have spent money or showed ambition typically when fees are amortised across the lengths of the player's contract, also doesn't take into account the wages or agents fees.

That actual table shows that we are £68m net but we sold Kane for a high fee, if we sold him for £60m then we'd be over £100m net, what is anyone meant to take out of that? lol

For example...apparently Man City had a net spend of £8m last Summer when every man and their dog knew that they paid massive money to Haaland's agents and dad which wasn't accounted for.

All a nonsense.

There's been little hints of this since they had the blow-out on VVD and Alison...... Before this season, their avg net spend since 19/20 has been €35m (by comparison, ours has been €95m, Arse has been €119m).

Investors/owners want out so no funding to club

So players there are a sitting duck and even those on long contracts probably obtainable but on high bids and wages.

Hodgson in his 70's hired as club is not appealing to any younger competent manager. poor bloke, I think Palace start as one of half dozen favourites to be relegated after Zaha and Olise depart with no incomings and just £35m in bank so will be no incomings of consequence

Palace will hoover up a load of Championship and lesser Euro leagues potential and then next year flog one of them for silly money to Man United - they tend to be good at it although they can’t identify a decent striker to save their lives

The truth of the matter is, in the modern market you pay more money on "potential" then you do on established players. Clubs pay for what a player could be rather then what he is at the moment. Thats why someone like Joao Felix got sold for 120M when he was at Benfica. Thats why Real Madrid are paying 50M for a 16 year old Endrick who has barely even produced for the first team of Palmeiras yet. The same way they did for Vinicious Jr and Rodrygo.

Granted they have been very successful with it thus far but naturally their will be misses as well. Regardless that is how todays market works.Hype and Potential generates more income and garnish a bigger paycheck to acquire.
