Bale bid...

I'll believe it when I see it....can't see us spending £80m on Bale AND £70m on Pogba, unless we supplement them with 2 lesser players.

Remember, we could easily spend £250M this summer now we've seemingly passed FFP. We'd still have £100M left to spend and that could easily buy Sterling and de Bruyne.

I just don't see us having that amount to spend - or spending anywhere near that....but hopefully I'm wrong.

For FFP, only £50M will hit the p&l account and we're getting an extra £30M from the new CL tv deal alone. We've got the new seats and, hopefully, re-negotiated Etihad and Nike deals.

We can spend that sort of money. If we want to pay in one go, we need some more money from Abu Dhabi. If we pay in instalments, no problem. We'll be spending a few players as well. If we do it right, we should try and get the money up front or at least a big chunk of it upfront.

Fuck it, buy um all
