We're bang on target for FFP,we don't need to sell players like Ulloa or Dunk,
Oh,hang on....

There was a Lewis Dunk rumour I heard (from an unnamed source), and that was he taught Churchill how to attack and defend. It was his efforts than won us WWII.
West Ham would be a dreadful choice - assuming Allardyce is still the manager. "What are you chesting it down for!? Get fooking rid!" "Stop fannying about with it. Hoof it"
This careers are short thing annoys me. It doesn't matter how long or short your career is. If you're a 23 year old car salesman with a decent track record at a local Ford dealership, if you get headhunted by a Jag or Porsche dealership you're going to move on! There is prestige attached to playing PL football as well as the pay packet.Players careers are short, and they could pick up a career ending injury at any time so it may be the only chance they will ever get to play in the top flight so why would they want to stay here (or any other Championship level or lower team) instead?
They may be happy and settled here and not really wanting to go but it is just too go an opportunity to turn down and hence why they go.
If you were attempting to sign players and said to them that if a Premier League team were interested in signing you, we'd tell them to get lost and you will be here until your contract expires, meaning they are very unlikely to make it to the top flight should we fail ourselves - would they sign for us?
