    It really puzzles me that you get teams who are recently promoted spending 1.2 million on a player and when we get promoted we can’t even spend half of that. Yes they have a bigger ground but come on it don’t make that big of a difference surely

    if you look at the players they have sold over the past few seasons plus the sell-on players its easy to see why they have cash to spend.

    They're owned by Chinese billionaires now so that's peanuts to them.

    Silly has it spot on, forget about their billionaires. They’ve got promoted and received 4 million for doing so and not hung about seeking players to help retain their championship status next season.

    As for us last season................

    Sigh , but they aren't bankrolling us , we have money to spend because of the increase in tv revenue this season .

    Looking like Stendel is getting a good slice of that to spend this window .
