We couldn't splash the cash because of the UEFA sanction.
We can splash it in January - up to a point should we be able to find a player at the right level. No more restrictions
Celebrate that. It's something
Lots of City fans annoyed we are down to 3 strikers but please note he can't play until October at the earliest and would miss the Champions League games, so if we lose our strikers between October and December, we could buy in January
The risks about going through an entire season with Only 3 strikers are being over-stated.
We are also forgetting that this player left at his wish, and he had not scored for an eternity. Had we needed him this season, which Negredo would we get? Legitimate question I think
We've done right by the player, got a great financial deal.
Short term pain admittedly
