They are starting to remind me of Man U a few years ago where they seem to just be senselessly buying players looking like a chicken with their head cut off.
When I saw the Madueke deal (I like the player but 30 mil for a guy with that kind of production in Eredivisie?) right after they spent 80 mil or whatever on a different winger and tons of money on Felix with Ziyech, Sterling and a host of other wide attacking midfielders in the squad it just seemed completely brainless. Hard to understand how they will find playing time for all of these players. Unless they are just trying to keep players like Madueke from mid table teams as he had been rumored to be heading to Palace for a year or so?
Also re their FFP circumvention, glad to see it cut out, but wouldn't they be handcuffing themselves from spending money in future years with this approach they have taken almost like buying out a contact in the NHL that counts against the cap for many years?
