That proves my point.
We always leave til deadline day and never get it done.
Hence living off one Van der Vaart for 20 odd years

If that was a tactic, people really shouldn't be so fickle as to be cheaply distracted.
Which is what exactly?
Our best bet for regular goals is to put the guy who is only 15 months removed from winning the golden boot up front. We need a 1v1 threat on the left. We lack a dribbler who can disrupt the defensive shape of the opposition.
No it doesn't.
Not true.
Nah..... Do better. That's not how you prove something.
They're a big club. They will just leave players out in the cold with no squad place.
We give them a place.
Thing is; as I already noted, a sell on also acts as a buy-back by proxy anyway......
Insert a first-refusal and it's even more solid.
eg 15m +25% sell on >>>>>>> Eventually CP sell for 40m... We get 10m and Palace still double their money..... Or we can buy back at 30m and Palace are still doubling their outlay.... Palace get 30m upon sale either way.
Because we desperately need wingers who suit the way our manager wants us to play
Don't know whether Kyogo (or Paulinho, also featured in the video) would ultimately cut it, but in general I'd like us to go for this profile of striker to really stretch defences and make Ange's system work:

Hope your right, unlikely though when the person in charge has the skin of a Pachyderm.
I’ve gone back and forth on this so often in the last few weeks. Still can’t really decide what is more pressing a new CF or a winger.
Was thinking that a new winger will provide better service to Richy leading to more goals, but aren’t Ange’s winger putting more balls just outside of the box for the midfielders to get on to?
Either way we need all three positions that you’ve mentioned. And depending on outgoings add another CM in there as well
When Lloris leaves that will be the last of AVB's signings.
Here's his list:

It's almost as if many of us knew we were spending ahead of Kane leaving, even as far back as last summer.
Nobody spends £60,000,000 on a forward to sit on the bench every week. We bought Richarlison for when Kane left.
Now it's time to batten down the hatches un cease any spending until further funds are raised.

Why is Levy and ENIC determined to set us back further and further is the question I want to know. Since we have moved into the new stadium it is like they are trying to make us worse and help devalue the club. Something is going on, it isnt just incompetence, it cant be, now it just feels too calculated but makes no sense.
Why not....? That's infinitely more rational & plausible than sabotage.
Their new tactic is to release news of a potential takeover rather than player signing it seems. Has happened 2 or 3 times since the start of the year.
We have no idea if it's the fee or something else.
we already have a very expensive striker who's offside more often than not, probably why angie likes him

No he doesn't, he plays the one that he feels will deliver what he wants best.
Nice problem to have actually
Sabotage is too strong a word. Levy isnt an idiot. I would say that since Martin Jol took over up until 2019 the club were on an upward trajectory and he played his part in that in a big way. But since the stadium has been built the decisions have been bizarre have they not? He has gone from being a person making good decisions to an individual making a succession of poor ones. It could just be as simple as that he is tired, has run out of ideas and just doesnt know what to do or doesnt have the balls to take us up another level. That is probably more likely but we just cant keep going on like this window after window. We all know how it is going to go from here on in.
I’ll loan him the thirty quid myself !
