Also option to buy their loan players which would take it to 50m+ I know they haven’t spent it yet but they had about a 50m quid attack today without counting Grabban who did not start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to Wolves. If they go up think they become permanent in the 12-15m range. Wolves already had Costa and Cavaliero(21m worth) Jota and Bonatini added another 20m or so. Plus Neves and Boly(around 10m). Think it is more of a loophole. Mendes know one good season in the championship gets player 15m moves across Europe. It is having that connection that counts. I don’t like it and imagine many around the league do not but not illegal. Maybe need to limit the loans that can be brought in. Maybe 2 per full season with another being allowed in Jan? That would probably hurt the chances of youth getting chances though so I don’t know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's an option to buy, that's their get out up to a point...though I still have big doubts about their compliance (and moderate doubts about Reading too FWIW).
