Of course it's relatively easy to loan players out since you are basically giving them away for free, but Levy isn't going to do that and neither he should. If he already can't stomach splashing £70m ish or whatever on Zaha with a recoup of £20m for Sissoko for example, he certainly isn't going to drop the 70 then give away a player for free.

Levy's transfer dealings have got us from mid table to CL basically every season with a squad worth somewhere in the billions, let's give him the respect of the full window before we crack up!
Crack up!

Hopefully hercs info renders this pointless but we’ll be financially worse off if we finish outside the top 4 by not improving the squad compared to being a little flexible in outgoing loans.

UPDATE
Home grown is no big issue. VJ as good as fine, so, and? Plus sensationalism from Standard.

We have offered better wages, better bonuses, better package to Wilf. If you knew the true reality at chavs, you wouldn’t sign for them.
Amazing VJ is still with us... he should have departed by now. Honestly very confusing why we hold things up.

It’s the accent
We ain't getting nobody - little money only available plus what we can raise from sales - at min looks low, plus zero Stadium sponsor - just like last year only way we spend is to sell an asset but shouldn't fall for that again unless crazy money for Toby and we get Martial in return. Delay with JG is to make it look like we get someone close to deadline. Only my opinion, would love to be proved wrong but doubt it

Zaha will be a revelation for us - anybody who has watched him carry Palace on his back last season will understand what a good player he is. Poch obviously rates him and has wanted him for several years - really hope we get him.

It’s a classic deadlock situation.

Poch won’t release VJ until we have signed someone else, and Levy won’t sign someone else until we have released someone.

We took a beating when we sold most of the 7 we bought when Bale was sold. Lost a fair bit on Paulinho 7m and Soldado ..who knows what we lost on him but prob up towards 10m. Sometimes you’ve got to bite the bullet and do it. Everton just sold Davy Classen for 13 a loss of around 12m. On the other hand we used most of the 10m we got for Paulinho to buy Alli and Dier. Swings and roundabouts. Just don’t take a gamble on cheap foreign players. Take a gamble on our own young players.

I don’t really get why everyone seems to think we need a wide forward such as Zaha. As it is we have Eriksen, Dele, Son, Lamela & Moura competing for maximum 3 places behind Kane. Whilst I think Zaha is a good player we have not even seen the impact Moura could have. As far as I am concerned there are other priorities that we need to address. Would love to see some ITK on a CM
Possibly Eriksen might play deeper but I don’t think he is as good in a deeper role
