£100m investment this summer

If we do go up, there's quite a bit of work to be done.
Don't envy the club on that front. Could easily and
quickly become a fight for life (see Norwich & Villa).

Not only is there a lot of work to do, there is very little time to do it this time round. And not much money without fresh investment.

Your forgetting the £23m going out on promotion bonuses

This is interesting, transfers are more complicated than you'd think https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/transfer-window-premier-league-revealed-how-a-transfer-deal-really-works-a7837031.html

Not sure we paid £16m for Costa. Undisclosed as usual.

White would be good at £30m. He’s class.

Keepers a steel at £5m.

Harrison will be undisclosed no doubt.

Need another striker for sure. Will Kev come back?

Just a point on the Costa deal, it's not £16million the club needs to find this summer. It was structured that we pay for him over the course of his contract. £4million a year for 4 years.

So this summer that's £4million on him.

With FFP, what is the point of an undisclosed fee? I thought we already had a number for Harrison and believe it was around £8m...well worth it!

We had a number for Costa but it’s now undisclosed.

16 mill for Costalot is ridiculous. He can be a great player but has been pretty inconsistent so far. Wolves didn't think he was PL quality, but then they didn't have Bielsa working to improve him.

We won't be able to sign White. Brighton will sell him for top dollar. AR won't be splashing 30 mill on anyone. They're already searching for a possible replacement, I believe. It would be great of they are able to sign him but I don't think it will happen.

Agree on Meslier as a steal at 5 mill and very relieved Bielsa has stuck with him. It's a shame Casilla was on the bench instead of Miazek last night but I guess this is about maintaining his profile to facilitate his sale? Meslier has also become "Leeds through and through", it seems, something you can't say about Casilla. So far, we haven't seen any of the glaring cock-ups we've had when Casilla was in goal. Meslier seems more solid all round. He made a great save against Swansea last week that kept us in the game and last night he was outstanding by all accounts. It's a no-brainer: the petulant racist mf is toast.

If you pay £30M for a player who had one good season in a good championship team, then someone should get fired.
