We could have better squad if Txiki and City's scout listened to me.

We do but it will be more of a concern about salary than about transfer fees, I suspect that is where we will manage more tightly so if he doesn't want ridiculous wages it will be ok budget wiseI think you're missing the fact that we still have a budget. Money isn't no object to us.

To be honest with the new prem money 65m today is about 40m last season - just the reality of things.I am not convinced that he is worth 65million.
We should be getting business done quickly , don't want to be leaving deals till after Brexit an put vote and short term run on the pound could make deals 10% + more expensive for non uk players . Though I suppose it could work both ways and we could hedge

If Watford are turning down £20M for Troy Deeney and Lyon are turning down deals left and right for Lacazette, it's no shock that Auba is £65M.

Depends. A likely on vote will see the pound strengthen over night.To be honest with the new prem money 65m today is about 40m last season - just the reality of things.

I also suspect not all of our cash in the sterling.
For a start we get paid our CL money in Euros so I'd imagine we keep a euro cash balance to hedge with transfer funds.

Good point on Euro's reserve I would wager we have a lot either on forward rates as we are actually probably paying lots of euro instalments- I suspect we have a fair bit of treasury sophistication too.Depends. A likely on vote will see the pound strengthen over night.

If Dortmund set 65m, we will pay it. It's pennies from what we have the work with. We will splash the cash much more hopefully!
POWER OF PEP
We will only pay it if it sits withing the bounds of how we do business. Only have to read the Pogba thread to see we won,t overpay
