Sorry didnt mean to offend pigeonho and wasnt having a go and you're right in waht you are saying but when you have been saying your talking facts you have chucked a couple of opinions in their 2.
You say that they have spent 20 plus million on squad players. Do you know that hernandez and smalling are squad players or are they going to start you dont know same as i dont. Technically all the money you spend is on squad players as all the players are in the squad.
You're right no one knows their situation but what we do know are the the 2 points i said to you in my first post is that without the sale of ronaldo, their balance sheet shows a loss for the first time in a long time.
Also you asked why hasnt he signed for us. Well if the papers are to be believed its because we havent bid as much as united and we arent offering as much wages. Given the current state of play do you think we cant or we wont?
Curiously does he only become the best thing since sliced bread because united are interested or because he is. You and I know both know that we can outbid united on anyone that is a fact regardless of whether we know their financial situation or not.
Fair enough, the 'facts' are also abit mingled with personal opinions. I said £18m on squad players, without being pedantic. I would say Smalling is definitely a squad player and won't see much game time. He was £10m though, and all I am getting at is if they can spend £10m on what could well be just a squad player for the time being, perhaps even being sent out on loan, there must be some money there somewhere. Lets not beat about the bush though, they are a massive club and no matter what certain people on here want to believe, my personal belief is that if they want someone, they will get them and have the means to do so. Just now someone posted their odds of them buying Ozil have been slashed, and when we hear that about a player we're after we all instantly presume its possible and most likely close to completion.... the same goes for them too.
