We were prepared to spunk money on Hazard because he was available at that time. We are now moving on to other targets. You can't say we didn't spend 30m on Hazard so a week later we spend 30m on someone else.
I don't think we are "fooked" on the FFP front. PSG are making a mockery of it so UEFA can fuck off.
What we are doing is smart. I think we have signings in the pipeline but they are being held up because players are on holiday or their club can't get a replacement in so we are using this time we have to clear the deadwood.
I can't imagine Mancini being told he cannot do anything until players leave. He want's them gone regardless and it is just happening before we sign anyone.
Is it smart - i honestly dont know and i suspect you dont
T Silva - seems to me PSG are crawling all over him
Hazard - We all know that one
RvP - Yup its Le Arse so will take time
Martinez - Wants Barca but Bayern have made enquiries
At some point we are going to have to move for players - some of these players we want out may not go until late in the window maybe the end of it -
What will be will be - i honestly dont think we are going to buy more than 3 players i just ifnd it bizzare that pepople have the impression we are in a position where we can pick and choose - Barca and maybe RM is possibly the only team(s) that can do that that.
