That’s not true though is it. My point is why are we the only club that has to fund transfers by sales? Of course I’m not saying we should never sell a player again, but we’re the only club to be in profit from sales, I think the nearest too us has spent £50m more than they’ve earns. The defence say we’ve made bad signings. Well so has every other club. The defence say we’ve got players on our books we can’t sell. Well so has every other club The defence say we’ve got to pay agents fees, bonuses and running costs, well so had every other club. What other clubs haven’t done is make £70n profit the last two years Then when all else fails you get told to stop demanding we pay millions for more crap players, stop being spoilt and wanting a new pony because the other kids have one. The only other option is to do a Pompey and be totally unsustainable. I’m amazed even clubs like Watford and burnley appear to Have more financial clout than us, but maybe it’s just me wanting a new pony.

Has he signed it yet?

Think we need someone to clear up the Forster situation. Is he a really good player who has been treated really badly or his he one of the raft of crap players on big money we can’t sell that mean we can’t sign any new players? Seems to be a divided view on this one

Great post pal. Amazing input as always

Looks like this place is regressing back to the days when the only opinion that was allowed was the pro-club, happy clappy one. The only discussion allowed was congratulating each other on how great the previous post was as we all nodded along in agreement with each other.. Anyone who dared to question a post or present a few uncomfortable facts to back a point up was immediately castigated as a bully with an anti club agenda.

Also are we still paying off the debts Cortese built up? That one was dragged on for years too

You have to remember crabs that are the only club who has made bad signings, we are the only club who has expensive players on our books we cant sell. We are the only club that has to pay agents fees, bonuses and national insurance contributions. I don’t know what people like you and me are thinking when we are DEMANDING we spend 100s of millions on more crap players. I don’t want my club to do a Pompey which is exactly what would happen if we decided our aims were higher than survival and winning the net spend trophy.

When you say “pretty much” would you say £112m more than they made was “pretty much just spent what they received from sales”

Yes you’re right, isn’t it a shame. We must not let them win!

No pal, just pointing out we aren’t the only club to make bad signings.

But Crystal Palace have NEVER made a Bad signing. that Christian Benteke, £30m transfer fee, £120k a week banging them i tell you, week in week out, no stopping him. Him and Connor Wickham up front, the envy of Europe.

Look at the net spend table there’s your proof. Now the burden of proof is over to you pal.

The burden of proof is on you to convince me why we are the only club that has to fund transfers by sales, you have failed so far.

Listen pal, you’re the guy who banged on for years about us spending £40m to expand the stadium which we evidently didn’t need to do then and still don’t so your opinion on these sort of things is irrelevant.

How are all the other clubs in the league managing to survive then?

I really don’t get how people like you can’t grasp it’s not about the quality of the signings it what makes us so different to everyone else that we have to fund purchases by sales. Are we the only club to the world to have made bad signings or players on our books we can’t get rid of? Unlike you and your band of merry men I’d actually like to see us improve the squad, I don’t want us to have open top bus parades with Goa holding the net spend trophy whilst Nelly’s waving the cheque how much profit we’ve made each year.

What basis? The net spend table for the last five years. The only club to make a profit from transfers. The reference to Brighton, Bournemouth and all are not about the quality of their signings but why those clubs and all the others are able to spend more than they get from sales. The excuse that we’ve made bad signings doesn’t wash, as you you rightly point out so have all the other clubs too.

This would be the Everton that have spent £275m more than they’ve made from transfers in the same period we’ve made a profit, yes?

Obviously. But we are the only club that has to sell to fund our signings.

I’ve not seen a single person say they want us to sign loads of expensive crap players because everyone else does. What I have seen is fans rightly question why is it we have to sell to buy when no other club does.

Where has this £30m available in January come from?

Heterosexual white men with right wing islamophobic, with extreme right wing Christian adjacency but are in complete denial.
