If it was the Dutch league I would say the chances of success would be 1:99!

Bmuff simply get on with it and aren’t afraid to spend the cash (£77m in fees alone last summer, including WC star Lerma for £25m).
West Ham the same. Gold & Sullivan were slagged off as mean, until last summer (£94m including the brilliant Felipe Anderson for £35m).
I suspect not being bound to a wages ceiling helps attract, paying up to:
West Ham £140k pw
Palace £130k pw
Bmuff (excluding Defoe) £75k pw
Leicester £140k pw
Wolves £100k pw
Watford £70k pw
Albion £50k pw

Transfer windows now also appear to have a hierarchy - Now Real Madrid have started (ffp doesn’t seem to apply to them) then Barca have a go, then PSG have a go, then the big 6 (oops meant 5 as Leavy won’t spend anything until last day of window if at all) (oops oops meant 4 as Chelski not allowed to buy this year) and Bayern etc have a go then the rest have a go. So at this rate we sign someone in last week of July

VILLA SNAP UP WES
Aston Villa have signed Brazilian striker Wesley from Club Brugge for an initial £22m, subject to a work permit and international clearance.
Sky Sports News understands Villa are confident that there will not be a problem with him receiving a work permit.
Wesley has spent the past four seasons with Club Brugge, helping them win two league titles and two Belgian Super Cups.

With Jota and El Ghazi also having signed for Villa in the last week.
Quick work despite only knowing their fate a month after the likes of the Albion.

I genuinely hope we aren't shopping for strikers from Belgium or Dutch leagues, it doesn't seem to go well and 22 million!
True when TB first took over I think I remember the estimate from the Argus was that he was worth £500,000,000 now it's estimated its nearer £1.5,000,000,0000

One must assume that in order to stay within FFP Bournemouth must get a tremendous amount of sponsorship to compensate the income from their miserably low gates.
Doing a Fulham then?
I fairness Villa have offloaded 12 players (citation needed) instead of just buying a load of foreigners and saying 'you don't mind if we play these guys instead'.

Their accounts show the same commercial income as us, so they’re not doing a ManC. The total annual income of both clubs is essentially the same.
They simply invest far more than us on the playing side in terms of wages, attracting faster and better quality players (Albion 0 - 5 Bmuff).
The PL is unforgiving.
