I originally thought A but I am starting to worry it is B!
No my friend IMO your exactly right, our issue is not buying players, it's the actual paying for them.
If we get Diangana for £12m it will only be £3 million (25%) to begin with.
The same with Krov (if we cant get him on loan). Anyone else who comes in I would expect us to only stump up 25% of the fee initially.
For us this is an issue, unlike other clubs our owner will not make good any loses. so our debt will grow which is a major problem.
It's certainly not clear if Lai is taking money out of the club either. He didn't spend £200 million for fun that's for sure. He could already be
increasing our debt - it's all hidden so who knows. A sensible business man would expect £10-20m return per year on his investment.
Agree with some things you state blue but for me if we do go into debt the clever thing we are doing is buying young. Most of the players we are being linked with Barring Deeney are young enough that if or when bought have a sell on value. We already know that 1 good season from Pereira will triple his value. For me Kipre would be a steal at Million. So it’s not like we have done in Pulis Pardew era buying experience with no sell on value. For me the club is in safe hands for the foreseeable future we’ll I hope so anyway.
