Brighton about to spend another £55 million. Jesus how is it possible to survive in this league?

By selling £300m or whatever it is that they did in the last year or 2

It’s the teams without those sales who are spending our transfer record fee multiple times in the same window that is more concerning, especially as we are going to have to finish above one of them minimum to survive
 
O’Riley to Brighton almost done according to Romano. Not sure why the Saint Matthew thread was closed already but may aswell post it here so it doesn’t get lost
 
Because we're clearly not signing him.

Well yeah but the news literally just broke, surely makes sense for people to post their happiness/frustration/sadness/general opinions about him not signing in there rather than closing it 1 minute after Romano tweeted he’s off to Brighton, otherwise they’re just going to do that in here instead

They can do that just as easily on this thread.

Interestingly these next two signings for Brighton will suddenly flip them into net loss on transfers over three seasons of €30-40m. I assume there are standard profits and prize money that level this out? But they are going for it properly - completely reshaping their team and squad.

It’s like a multi year version of us investing the Van Dijk windfall. With the windfall coming from multiple players - like 7 rather than 1! And their replacements and scouting seem a lot better than ours! But they might be entering “need a big sale territory” soon. But have plenty on the list I would say.

But this season seems to be the push. They will be well over £200m. Sort of need champions league to justify it otherwise this league really is too rich for us. Kind of is already it seems
 
But it’s not a transfer rumour anymore and actual rumours might get lost <laugh>

That other thread is obviously the place to post about O’Riley related stuff, it’s not a big deal but just seems like common sense to me

Toms bake bean tins all face the same way forward
