If we accept finances are difficult, why are we bothering?
Presuming Arsenal will want all his wages covered and maybe a loan fee.If we accept finances are difficult, why are we bothering?
Get Bentley involved going the other way and with a young pup as back up.
Sounds like we’ve had our head turned by some cash from Saudi for Sa.
Sa and Podence... All that lovely money though, eh?If we accept finances are difficult, why are we bothering?

Yeah, but it's shit transfer news.Blimey, an actual bit of proposed transfer news.
Every Arsenal fan in the comments on The Athletic article want an obligation to buy, rather than an option - and all his wages covered. £120k a week mooted.Presuming Arsenal will want all his wages covered and maybe a loan fee.

Anyone know what Sa is on?
Dire ain’t it.Yeah, but it's shit transfer news.
Our club is a shitshow.
If Wolves made £150m profit then Fosun could take the lot.Profit over what period?

In theory, this could be good.
We get money for Sa, and a superior replacement for zero investment in Ramsdale.
Thus putting about £15-20m immediately into the transfer pot for this window.
I did say “in theory”.
Ramsdale being superior to Sa is debatable and his previous antics and allegiances to Albion will mean he gets a very short leash. I wouldn't touch this deal.
you need positive ‘distributable reserves’. you could make a profit in the year but if your P&L reserve is still negative due to past losses, you can’t pay a div.Profit over what period?
Only answer I can give is in the numbers.Comes back to the point why make statements 12 months ago about being more competitive in the transfer window then not delivering.
It’s not sensible business to run the risk of losing your yearly £100m cash cow.
The policy of sell big buy cheap gets you so far until it all dries up.

I hear you on the Albion antics but I was around when we signed a cheap centre forward off them once upon a time……that didn’t turn out too bad.
Happy to debate all day long that he’s a better keeper than Sa.
Especially after Saturday. Again.
