We’ll find out in May. We don’t make things as easy as we could though, given our financial clout it’d be nice if we wrapped up some title wins with a few weeks to spare.

You were talking previous years when the same thing happened we know what happened. It isn't easy it isn’t supposed to be that’s what keeps success interesting. All I do know is our approach works better than anyone else maybe splashing the cash on big names doesn’t work so well and wouldn't have worked.

Was widely reported we were interested and had a much lower valuation. When we move on from targets, we tend to let journos know.

If, your belief is true, then it would suggest we have had no plans for getting in a 6/8 as we have had no substantial other links.

Tolmie said we were prepared to pay £85m for Bruno but no more so there is money there and if Newcastle would have accepted then he would be here and we would have to make room in the squad? We must be able to sort something for midfield if we have that sort of cash even before an Alvarez sale?

Money isn't a problem - we were fine for PSR before selling a load anyway - more to do with valuations. Bruno G was unlikely anyway due to us not wanting to meet Newcastle's valuation and doing nowt when they needed sales in June. Him being made captain just solidifies it to me.

On the brilliant Wharton video from Jonas -This was my contribution in early July:

My Blackburn supporting mate kept telling me to get City interested because the lad has class. He has been supporting the Rovers for over 50 years. So I watched Wharton playing for the exciting Palace side. Lad has good positional sense, is a reliable hub for his team mates to find, a fast control and and accurate pass record. Unlike Manoo, and Rice to a lesser extent, Adam can pass a ball forward, he is not a Ray Wlkins clone! Check the Palace fan ratings on the BBC Sport and he is always near the top.
I doubt if the England manager will pick Wharton for the remaining Euro games - better to stick with those you trust. But agent Foden, agent Walker and agent Stones will all be reporting back from the England camp, and they will certainly be impressed. My newspaper reports that he passed his GCSE school exams without any revision and, as we all know, intelligence helps towards a long and succesful career in this game. At City, any youngster can only be improved by our brilliant coaches and I am not alone in thinking that the sky is the limit for Adam.

If this player ends up at United/Liverpool or Arsenal I will be very disappointed.

Either no leaks from us or players and agents or other clubs. Or we aren’t looking for a 6/8. I know which is looking more likely as time goes on

But more money coming into the club constantly and for the right player Pep wants to improve we have to go that extra bit? Record revenues , record profits, the profile of the club has never been higher but a lot of that is down to the signing of Haaland and more so Pep making us so successful? Pep will go in the next few years so we need to make hay while the sun shines?

Hes a superb talent I just don't see where he fits unless we have a shake up next season. I sadly see him at Arsenal, next summer they could likely cash in on the likes of Jorginho and Partey and I reckon they would make a move.

Right, but the point you inferred was that we weren't ever interested in a 6/8 despite reporting to the contrary regarding Bruno G. That's different to having a specific player in mind, being priced out, not seeing any others you want and now not being interested.

I agree that there aren't any substantial links now though, which makes it unlikely that we sign anyone. Things can change quickly though

I'm not saying we shouldn't mate - I'm rarely arsed about the financial wrangling when it's the right player. Just saying I don't see it happening now as there was a better, more viable time for it to happen
 
So far Palace have made a £24m profit in this window. However the cost of their new main stand has sky rocketed, for some reason. Maybe they would be tempted to cash in on Warton if we lumped all the Alverez fee on him. Personally I don't see the fuss about Warton, but would love to be proved wrong (again)
I don't really care tbh, but for Palace fans it would be a major bummer to lose another top prospect after Olise,

Stadium building not part of PSR/FFP? (someone correct me) dont think this effects the team just the owners to put their hand in
 
We can do a lot better than Wharton. There is nothing in his game that our current Academy players aren't capable of either.
