Our net spend is zilch this season and I suspect Kapustka will not be a first team player but a squad player pushing for a first team place. Why the hostile response?

In all honesty mate I'm expecting us to sign an attacker but I don't know who. If we do get Lacazette it will be sooner rather than later! Mainly because their owner is a right bastard to deal with. If we wait until the final week he'll point blank refuse any deal unless its 50m+. First player we'll sign is a CB in the next couple of weeks and then its all up in the air! For me personally I'd rather spend £80m on Ben Yedder, Mustafi and Mahrez than potentially £70m on Laca and Mustafi. I think Mahrez is absolutely fantastic and our right wing options are dog shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Di Marzio has confirmed Kaputska will sign in the coming days! You can probably afford to spend more than 105m comfortably, so not sure about having reached a limit... heck, if push came to shove we could spend 100m - just don't think our owners would risk that much money and players are always a risk. Not heard anything at all about Kaputska in the Mercury and it would be very unlike them to do a speculative story like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking all factors into consideration we must have at least 200m available for potential transfers without going in any sort of danger zone money wise. Totting things up - Spent 10m last summer Highest match day revenue in european football at just over 100m Teams like Palace now able to spend 50m due to TV money etc Points towards us having a solid 200m which is frustrating because Mahrez, Lacazette and Mustafi at say 110m puts us in a great position to fight for the title.

To be honest, I'm not sure it really matters what players you get in and in what position they play. If your management and back room staff stay the same, I really cannot see you winning the title anytime soon. Mahrez is a wonderful player but in your set up, would make little difference.

If Arsenal want Mahrez then they will have to break their transfer record to get him and from what I know of Wenger he is supposed to be tight fisted, this gives me huge confidence that Mahrez will stay and if I was a gambling man I'd have my money on Mahrez signing a bumper new contract with us and leaving for Barcelona next summer. Kapustka will not be a replacement for Mahrez as he plays through the middle and Mahrez doesn't, he will be signed as an addition to the squad and if he is replacing anybody it will be Kante, although they are two entirely different style of footballer. I wouldn't get your hopes up on Mahrez mate, he isn't the kind of person to kick up a fuss if we kept him here against his wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapustka could be a Mahrez replacement, with Albrighton moving to the right & Gray promoted to the starting lineup & playing from the left Of course we shouldn't be replacing anyone, only adding some smart additions like we have so far.... Loss of Kante though is a massive blow to 442 (4411) because they always joked that we played Drinkwater down the middle & Kante either side of him in a 3-man central midfield Perhaps with Ranieri pushing a pressing game in preseason so far, rather than sitting back a bit & countering through Vardy & Mahrez's pace & trickery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
