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
Unnecessary short term pain that could last until seasons end.
Will be hard pressed to get a quality striker in January.
Maybe Torres will miss England (LOL).
18 outifeld players to carry us through until Jnauary, Sinclair , Boyata and Nasty are unlikely to feature much unless we have an injury crisis when we lose YAYA and Lampard.
Looks like we might have do a fair bit of business in January if we are still on Chelsea's heels.
