ErwinK1961 Posted 16 August, 2016 Share Posted 16 August, 2016 Most premiership clubs have a decent transfer budget each summer and will spend the money they receive from transfers (as a minimum) Palace got £25m for Bolasie & £10m for Gayle, they probably had £20m to spend before selling and have bought Townsend (13m) Tomkins (10m) and Mandanda (free) So as it stands, Palace have a NET spend as well?

East Kent Saint Posted 16 August, 2016 Share Posted 16 August, 2016 ffs Palace have sold their soul to a new investor as have Everton that is where their new money is coming from !!!! Transfer fees are only part of a deal , wages are now a higher percentage of a clubs turnover than ever before , why don't you get that ? If you want Saints to go down the -10 points route again then buy 6 £50 M players on £250K a WEEK and watch the club in free fall while the same said players continue to have first dibs on their £250K a week !!!!!

What they mean is, lots of the big clubs look strong again. Hard to see how last season could be improved with Leicester winning the league, Spurs (even though I hate them) in the top 4 and Saints and West Ham in the Europa spots.

Hard to see how last season could be improved with Leicester winning the league, Spurs (even though I hate them) in the top 4 and Saints and West Ham in the Europa spots. One of the things that's making it so interesting for me is the amount of new managers at the 'Top' clubs...... have Utd got the 'Special One' or the guy from last season? Will Conte and Pep be able to do it on a rainy night at Stoke (cliche I know, but they're not guaranteed success).....the teams with momentum from last season might still surprise. Klopp (sadly) is a decent manager, ....ditto Poch, who no-one seems to be mentioning; but top 4 for Spurs wouldn't surprise me. WHam could be an outside bet for a top 5/6. Although I'm probably wrong and it'll be a 3 way fight for the title, with Liverpool or Arse getting 4th. Which would be dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 17 August, 2016 Share Posted 17 August, 2016 Why is it impossible to have a conversation on here? Within a couple of posts on every thread it's just ridiculous extremes. Apparently it's sell players and spend nothing or spend so much we go bankrupt. Nothing in-between. This, ask the club to spend money we have recouped in sales and suddenly you get accused of wanting to bankrupt the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfahaji Posted 17 August, 2016 Share Posted 17 August, 2016 People always make out how amazing the big clubs are. They always sign more players but often get it wrong. You'd think City will be better, but teams will love to beat Guardiola, depends how quick he learns and how distracted they are by the CL. Who knows how their defence will hold out and if the new keeper will do alright. I can still see them losing a fair few away games. Utd will do well, not in the CL, Mourinho with a point to prove but still a few weak spots in the team. Arsenal, well will they ever get it together? Still beatable. Chelsea look stronger but their defence is old and pretty dodgy, can't see them winning it. Spurs are slightly better than last season on paper, but will the blow of messing it up last season hurt them? I don't think they'll do as well. Liverpool still have a pathetic defence. Lot of attacking talent but they'll lose plenty of games. It'll be exciting as so hard to predict who'll win it, but don't think anyone should be fearing the big teams. Yes Utd can spend 89m on a midfielder, yet he's not as good as the ones they used to produce for free. I have said on another thread somewhere that I wouldn't be surprised if we saw one or two unfancied teams being amongst the pack and one or two big names struggling again, for the reasons you have listed. I doubt it will be as mixed up as last season, but what I really meant by "hard to see how it could be improved" was in response to presenter & pundit views that the big teams looking strong equates to it being an exciting season, whereas actually the best seasons are the ones like last year. I suppose part of their job is to big up the season ahead - not sure Sky would be happy with a presenter who said "after last season, let's face it, this one is going to be a wash out. And you mugs at home have still shelled out for our ridiculously priced sport subscription package." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 17 August, 2016 Share Posted 17 August, 2016 NBC Sports or BeIn Sports usually are the network the streams use again, they I assume are the agents who rent off of the provider. Do Sky etc put their own equipment in or is it an agency connected to the PL who then supply it all? The point being if Sky and BT pull out and if theyprovide the cameras etc there wont be any stuff to stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 17 August, 2016 Share Posted 17 August, 2016 WEST BROM INTERESTED IN SLIMANI Sky sources are telling us there is interest from West Brom in Sporting Lisbon striker Islam Slimani. We're told the clubs are not far apart in their valuations of the player. West Brom are deciding whether to proceed given Slimani would miss a month in the New Year to take part in the Africa Cup of Nations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 17 August, 2016 Share Posted 17 August, 2016 SCHLUPP ‘DEEPLY UNHAPPY’ Sky sources are telling us that the Leicester winger Jeff Schlupp is “deeply unhappy” at his club’s refusal to allow him to talk to West Brom, who have seen two bids for the player – the latest worth £12million - rejected by the Premier League champions. The 23-year-old was told recently by manager Claudio Ranieri that he could not guarantee him first team football, and that he would be better off looking for a new club if he wanted to play regularly. Leicester seemed ready to negotiate with West Brom when they made their latest bid last Friday. Schlupp was even removed from the matchday squad for Saturday’s Premier League opener at Hull with expectation that the deal would go through on Monday. It appears now that Leicester have taken a different view by turning down West Brom’s offer and insisting that Schlupp sees out the remaining three years of his contract. The Ghana international has been at Leicester since signing youth forms in 2005. He featured in 23 games for the club last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
