But you're not accounting for a transfer bubble, hyper inflated market, unrealistic demands and whatever next seasons excuse will be for starting with H & M as the striker options.

[Albion] How big a bonus is staying up rather then promotion in the transfer window?

I reckon that 2.83cms on Friday will prove to be worth well in excess of £100m...........expensive real estate!
It will be different this time...
... they've only got 3 months to not sing a striker.

You all seem to have forgotten that we still won’t be paying the desperate wages and inflated transfers fees that teams like Palace do 
I think money talks louder than just about anything in the Premier League for that reason I fear we may miss out to other clubs on some targets.

You can't have successive £100,000,000+ seasons, show a profit and automatically qualify for an extra years parachute payments without players, old and new, having their hand out.

I am not complaining about it, just suggesting it may be an extra hurdle as we chase quality players. By virtue of the fact that our recruitment team seem to go for players who appear to be under the average Premier League teams radar

Will the transfer window be swinging closed earlier this year? I know it was talked about and agreed on, but is it from this summer? I bloomin’ hope so. It was interminable last year.

I want Charlie Austin.
It doesn't matter how low flying the targets are, the principal is still the same.
'You want me - You're gonna have to pay more, because I know you can afford it'.
Desperate wages and inflated fees only look like that if the player does a Benteke and flop.

Early August, unsure of exact date but before the season starts, and yes, from this year
Who would you play for the other 35 games though?

Is that just being contrarian?
We’ve done well this year. Only been in bottom three in first month of the season. More often w’e’re been in the 13th-15th positions. The squad will be stronger next season.
Yes, we cold go down. I am not expecting that, but I was fearful for this season.
It's not cold at the moment. It's bloody hot and lovely

Don't wait for me!
Knowing we will have 100m+ in May and another 100m+ next May will please the chairman. 2018-9 Aim for Europe. Then Champions League. Then blow it all on hookers and babycham.

The 3 promoted sides will be in the top 5 sides expected to go down. Even Swansea who looked like they would be relegated before Paul Clement arrived were able to sign Tammy Abraham ahead of both Newcastle and us. So many players will consider us a better option. Some great results in the next week would help us immensely.
However we don't tend to follow the pack in a mad attempt to sign players with premier league experience of failing to stay up after a relegation fight. I also would imagine we have a good idea already of the players we will be signing.

This. I was one of the those who thought Stains, WBA and Stoke had a telling a huge advantage over us due to expensive squads of PL quality built over many windows, plus the know-how of getting PL results.

I'm not sure too many players would be happy to follow in Uwe's footprints here, he's barely played for three years. Also, they'll be aware that Suttner has failed to get into the team due to his direct rival for the place being considered better defensively. Gross has been fantastic without question, but our other Bundesliga signings haven't worked out well either for us, or for the players.
