All a far cry from Les and Lee running the circus, eh guys? like to see his impact for more then 6months before giving too many slaps on back. Remember a few pulling off Beale relentlessly before he deserved it and look how that ended. First impressions very positive but maintaining standards for extended period is harder trick to pull off. Yes of course but, almost by the day, so many indicators look far more encouraging than the last regime |

Am not one of these fans who normally gets sexually aroused by the size of a transfer fee - our two last Premier League stints should cure any QPR fan of that - but with the likes of Celar, Varane and potentially Dembele and the Japanese lad I must admit it’s exciting to see us able to pay actual money. In recent years we have had to sign players essentially that no one else wants - hardly surprising that a fair few haven’t worked. But someone like Dembele (IF we get him - don’t want to tempt fate) would be wanted by a lot of clubs.
The obvious word of caution is: let’s hope the club know what they are doing.
Everything seems much better run but still very early days for Nourry, much as I like him to date. Are they just hoping they can sell at least one of these signings for big money in the new 3 year cycle? Or counting on Eze? Even after losing a lot of squad salaries the step up in spend must be significant

Seems like we have 'merely' spent the Armstrong money on Celar and Varane. If we spend some 5 million more on a couple of players, it's not like a mad spending spree or anything. Just good business, imo. But let's see how it all pans out.🤷♂️

Also to note, all signings we are after and ones we have signed are all under 23, with the exception of Nardi.

The Jap won't be that cheap if we get him. As you say not crazy money but last season our marquee signing was Paul Smyth for, what, 50k and packet of plain salted? If we can afford it they seem great signings, am as happy as the next fan, just noting its a definite step up in spend and ambition. |

More or less same as LF and co. spent on Dickie, Dykes and Bonne a few seasons back. I think current dealings have more potential, but we'll find out soon enough. |

Armstrong rumoured to be 2.5m. So that almost covers rumoured Celar and Varane fees.

The way we make money is selling for large profits so makes sense from a business point of you. Speculate to accumulate |

We have been prudent for the last 3 years so the pressure has eased, plus we have more TV money coming in, we are far from out of the woods but the new set up are working miracles.

Add to that the money received for Sinclair, eze playing for England, sponsoring everything but the toilets etc etc. We’re just not used to spending a few quid. The way I see it is the club are investing in the squad and our future not just splashing it like before. I’m all for it. Say varane for example gets to grips with the league and really excels, he could easily be sold for a ten fold profit in a couple of years. It was always dead money before hand, not so much now. You’ve got to invest a bit for the club to grow. Coventry were going out of business very recently, now they are spending 8 million quid on strikers and have one of the better squads in the league. All through smart recruitment |

I’d imagine some of the money is the fact we delayed the purchase of Dembele for a year.

Saw a few online whispers (most likely bollox) that we may have sold our sell on to Palace which could also explain us having some cash to spend? |

Selling the “sell-on” fee isn’t a bad idea. Otherwise we’re constantly hoping that he gets sold.

Win win really. We pay less, which is good if they are shit. If they do really well, then it was worth it as we'll still make money. Doubt Palace would buy out the sell on. No guarantees that they will sell him so why would they pay out when they might never sell him and he runs down a contract etc. |
