It's always better than nothing, on the whole though I'd prefer just inserting reasonable buy backs,

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.
 
We need wingers that can dribble, a striker that can score, a rotational
Cb that can run fast and probably another midfielder too. Think a goalscorer is probably the most pressing.
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.

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.
 
If the club do not bring in a proven goal scorer to replace Kane before the window ends, I honestly think they will have failed Ange on the same if not bigger scale than they fucked Ramos over when we sold Berbatov and Keane.

Richarlison is not and will never be the answer.

Gift Orban is also not the answer. Sign him sure, but sign him as Sons back up (and potentially eventual replacement) as a wide forward, not as a replacement for our best ever striker.
Regardless of how anyone spins it, Orban is a punt and we simply cannot rely on a punt to replace even a fraction of Kanes goals.

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.

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.
