Palace fans happy to see back of Bolasie RK must see something in him to pay £25mill good on his day but doesn't have too many good days but we will see.

Hopefully now we're active in the market we might be a bit more attractive to bigger players. I'v got a feeling we will have 1 marquee signing before window shuts.

bigduncan - great point mate.

Dont get me wrong 30 million is steep but like bigduncan said id rather pay that for Bolasie than 55 mill for sterling, who is utter dog spaff.

Everyone moans when we don't sign players, we finally start making positive moves and now your moaning about the money, can't win.

Selling Stones for 50 mill (with add-ons and minus the barnsley fee and legal fees) we will have about 35 mill.

If we sign Bolasie 25 mill upfront, Kone 18 mill, Williams 12 mill - makes use 20 mill down for 3 players that are going to strengthen are team massivley.

If Joe Allen is worth 13 million and Leroy Sane is worth 37 million, an unproven kid who might be the next andre schurrle. Il take it all day.

We finished 11th last year and have no European football to offer. May as well add in that we are not a London club.

At the end of the day the team is strengthening. Whether it be players that are going to come in and start, or be it, they come off the bench. Its better having Gueye/ McCarthy/ Barry, Kone, Mori, Jags, Williams, Bolasie, Lennon, Del Boy to bring on than McGeady, Gibson, Osman, Pienaar, Niasse.

I suspect we will sign a keeper and another creative mid and a striker. We still have that 100 mill we had before the stones deal.

The below are players that we could go after/ been linked with:

Stek/ Joel ---> Begovic (most likely) / Enyeama/ Butland

Coleman/ Holgate
Kone/ Jags and Mori/ Williams
Baines/ Oviedo ---> F*** knows

Barry/ Gueye and McCarthy/ Clev ---> Carvalho/ Witsel/ Schneiderlin

Del Boy/ Lennon and Mirallas ---> Bolasie/ / Hiyech/ Ghezzal/ Tadic

Barkley ---> Mata/ Nasri/ Yarmolenko/

Lukaku ---> Remy/ Bony/ Dost/ Deeney/ Bacca

Its better than being linked with championship and Wigan players, so why moan.

COYFBB!

{Ed001's Note - your maths is appalling. You have not factored in signing bonuses, agent's fees, solicitors' fees etc. It comes to a lot more than 20m down. It is best if everyone just forgets about the finances and the prices, they are usually completely wrong in the media anyway.}
