Have to remember as well that if we sign a player on a five year deal say for £25m, then the cost per year in the accounts is only (only lol) £5m per year (plus wages of course).Yeah I know, we're both saying the same thing.
I was just pointing out the difference between the money.
I think the Janssen 'cash' was "come on Tony it's only £20m, have you looked under the sofa cushions?"
Whereas the club making a £25m deal in this transfer window will be because it has £25m to spend on one player.
Or, if some prefer, 25,000 x £1,000 and 25,000 sets of tracksuits. [emoji38]
It's also unlikely that cash wise we would have to stump up the full £25m in one go as that's usually staggered (see Villa, A. for further reading on that subject).
Basically we can definitely afford to be putting that sort of bid in. Crazy as it seems for a Brighton fan!
