Sakho brilliant but £30M so far out of our price range.

For a club like us, that's 2 or 3 decent players. As already mentioned- rather we spread the money around, with some shrewd loan signings, and try and steer clear of the bottom 3 the whole of next season!

What can you get for Sakho

Veltman (10m)
Hernandez (13m)
Tete. (3m)
Vorm. (3m)
Loan player

We not denying we'd love Sakho at palace but to pay 30m for a cb at palace is extreme especially with our ground.

It's not just the £30m transfer fee...it's the £100,000-a-week pay packet on top. A three-year deal is £15.6m to save people working it out. Or £20.8m for four years.

It still p*sses me off that Liverpool are asking for 30 mil for him, especially when he isn't likely to play under Klopp

Who do you buy?

Lukaku, Mahrez, Kane

or do you look at those you have - who can be developed - those who are being overlooked, those who are developing with other clubs, those who need to impress international managers?

We must not keep falling for sales talk - Zeki Fryers springs to mind.

When Sam came, we had no idea of the business he would do; Frank is no different.

I want Sahko too, but there is a risk: His type of injury has a habit of reappearing. I'd guess that those injuries really need more than just a few months to be 100%. I can see him limping off again after a few matches with CPFC down 30m plus wages. Great player, worth the money, but for us too risky.
