Forget Doucore and keep Kouyate. Plenty of funds then for RB and one other and a loan. He may not fit in anyway.

What does give me confidence is having had Steve & Dougie working together for as long as they have done we will have paid our dues, made mistakes along the way but learnt from them - if we are going after a player you can be sure that we have had the opportunity to have a good look at them first & due consideration of all the aspects will be applied which as many posters on here will know has not always been the case in previous years - for sure things can go wrong but if you do your homework properly it reduces the risk element.

Who else loves the fact that each summer window with Palace there always seems to be a move for a player which comes out of nowhere!? Luckily we never agreed terms with Oumar Niasse from Everton on the deadline day we signed Sakho. If Downes signs hopefully he'll be more in line with Will Hughes than Jordan Mutch.

Kouyate is 32 and Doucoure is 22. We need to be looking to the future NOT the past and Doucoure is the future for our DM position. Yep, and if Freedman/Vieira's evaluation is correct it's likely that his value will increase beyond his transfer price.

He is a fantastic player and is most definitely an upgrade. PV obviously rates him highly and even rang him to make sure he was not hijacked by Leeds. I don’t think the fee is bad as it will be spread over 5 years.

His value as an asset on the books will depreciate by a fifth year by year but you still have to find the money to buy him in the first place!!! The selling club might agree to staged payments over the season but they aint gonna wait 5 years for their money.

Presumably there are exceptions depending on hoe desperate selling club is

Domestic Transfers have regulations that dont allow it. or something. So If that's true, 1) looks as though it wouldn't be spread over the length of the contract and 2) could be why there's so many foreigners in our league !!

You are mixing up the payment with the accounting of cost. The transfer fee will spread across the length of the contract. i.e. 10 mill fee on five year contract will be lodged as a 2 mill cost for the next 5 years. However, the full 10 mill needs to be paid to the selling club 12 months after purchase.

Have to say I’d be a little disappointed if we secured Flynn. He looked average last season in the championship, 37 games, 1 goal and 1 assist. I know he’s a defensive mid so these stats don’t tell the full story, however I find his all round play to be average, he also lacks discipline. I'm been impressed with what I've seen personally. Definitely a good Premiership standard player in my opinion...I rather him better than Will Hughes for example, who himself deserves his place in the squad. I would be very happy if we obtained him.

Perhaps a different point of view on Downes - We have/are expected to introduce a lot of players in their late teens/early 20s in the past year who have the potential to go on and play the very highest level of football. Guehi, Mitchell, Doucoure, Eze, Olise, Ebiowei McArthur was an excellent signing - bought him at 26, heartbeat of the team, drove standards and we were never at risk of losing him to a top 4 side. Perhaps this is what we see Downes as - someone who could be an important fixture in the team for a longer period of time than we can expect some of these wonderkids to be. I don't mean that to be a slight on Downes - the likes of Kevin Nolan, Mark Noble, James McArthur play hugely important roles. Good post
