Have we finished spending?

[BlueJill]

Very much doubt that Bobby will be given any more money this season unless we pick up some injuries (fingers crossed we dont) if Carlos goes in January i reckon the £38/40 million fee would be banked.

I would be shocked if we didn't replace Tevez. We need 4 strikers in the spring especially if we get out of the group stages of the CL.

Only 9 foreigners allowed in squad.

Is this why Utd is getting the Young (sic) English players in?

Could be. Some think so but the rule not passed yet so perhaps coincidence.

I think a marquee player would really round off our squad now, both in a playing aspect and commercially. If somebody like iniesta suddenly becomes an option or even a similar player of that stance I thoroughly think we would break the bank to sign them. Other than that it will be out of necessity only

We are just about on course to meet FFPR when we finally get rid of the high wage earners that don't contribute. Part of that involves reducing the currently extremely high player amortisation charge we're carrying. That could add £40-50m to the bottom line in 2-3 years if we spend responsibly. That's about the same as we could earn from the CL.

Yes. Ade Bridge and RSC costing us dear. At least the first two helped a little. RSC...don't get me started!
