So it appears we may be spending close to 40m this window with the very real possibility of only a loan out for Digne.
Either FFP was a simply a cover story for an unwillingness to spend in the summer, or we are prepared to run the risk regardless now.
My suspicion is it’s the former with the board now worried about our terrible form and acting accordingly.
If we look at wages saved with the likes of James off the books and kean leaving. Then take into account amotization of the deals we may be doing we'll probably only actually be spending under £15m. Which will be easily covered by the James and kean deals.
For what its worth I will be massively suprised if we let digne go on a free. I expect him to be sold and I also think that the plan will be to let one of mina or holgate go this window as well. With Branthwaite taking over as the 3rd or 4th choice cb.
