Nah, they still need to sell to avoid getting hit by FFP. Investments does not count as revenue generated by the club and they could get hit with fines or penalties like point deductions etc.
Chelsea sign Michy Batshuayi

Interestingly our friend at sky sports is saying wages aren't an issue but interest from Juventus, Atletico and Dortmund which hasn't really been mentioned here.

Which players have turned us down to join Man Utd? Ibra probably will do, but he was always out of our reach and wants to play for José again.
It is when it's a guy coming in after two half-decent seasons in Ligue 1, expecting to earn as much as the likes of Kane and Lloris

We've spent over £20m 3 times- Son, who had an OK season but has a lot of potential to improve, Lamela- who is now a key part of our starting XI, and Soldado- the only example when it has actually ended in tears.
Based on what?

this Mirror story then, they've either made it up which is unlikely or someone else wanted them to print it, but who?
His agent could be trying to up the ante in which case could well burn the bridge to a favoured destination club
We think his wages demands are excessive, perhaps MB and his agent having heard what they could get from wham or Everton have suddenly demanded more
Wham, Everton or even Roman fc are trying to up the ante to suss out how high we might go
Good job I'm not a PI.

You'd know better than me. I wouldn't have thought so, but he's the only player thats been linked to both of us in the press that I could think of.

But we have doubled our premier league money and will have millions more because of champions league so we can afford higher salaries for the right players

We would never go for this prick good player yes wants wages that would put the euro zone defecit to shame, and has an ego the size of the ozone layer.
He is a total **** and not someone i would like to see at this club, hope that helps.

Where he's coming from is irrelevant. Players at other clubs who cost circa £30m are on a damn site more than £100k per week. We can't expect a £30m signing to be happy with average wages. £100k is a lot for us but pretty much average for the current market.

I wasn't suggesting that we were, or should try and get him. I was just trying to get to the bottom of the comments about players choosing United over us as I can't think of any so far. As far as I know they've only signed one player so far.
But back to Michy...

That's why this should have been wrapped up by now. Levy just never learns...

It's not who is quickest or shouts the loudest that gets a player, every bit of talent in the world is known to any clubs worth their salt. As always Levy will look for value especially for a back up striker.
Transfers don't work like that

It sounds like he's got Jansen lined up as well so it looks like he's learnt not to put all of his eggs in one basket.

Batshuayi said he wants to transfer after the Euros (although Marseille may need to sell him by the end of the month). Not everything is Levy's fault.

It's not just down to Levy. There has to be a willingness to deal on all sides and it's very early to expect clubs, agents, players etc to be signing up when there could be better to be had. OM are doubtless holding out for a mega rich club to throw their hat in the ring and it looks like Levy is testing their metal by having a snout around players like Janssen with Bats allegedly wanting to join us. It's how the game is played.
