So with the Bergwijn and CCV sales, we’re at £100m outgoing so far this window (Romero purchase activation included). With Winks, Lo Celso, Ndombele, Rodon and Clarke to possibly leave, this takes us close to the £0 mark again.
With Lenglet set to join on loan, and possibly Spence at £20m, one suspects we’re still going big on 2 more players or this £150m cash injection looks unusual timing.
I don't think it quite works like that. Firstly transfers cover over multiple seasons and secondly there's no requirement for us to 'spend' £150m net.
I think we probably need to exceed £150m on incomings of pure optics after the cash injection but not necessarily net.
Some of the injection could help with potential new deals for Conte, Kane, Dier or Davies too.
I'm sure if a great opportunity arises we'll go for it. This just gives us that bit more flexibility as much as anything.
For example if PSG randomly put Hakimi up for sale in a fortnight we'd probably be in there bidding.
