Bit of a risk to cover the costs with a transfer you have no idea is going to happen, like.

The way our board is theirs no chance in a month of sundays we spend money we dont have first before selling, so Kone was a leftover from january with fer etc, probably in installments mind you but most deals our now, creative accounting afetr we sold may decide to eat away at the sales though using kone as an excuse, but its utter Bull**** and our transfer history shows that it is too
 
People seem to be forgetting that the McCarthy purchase was NOT dependant upon the Fellaini sale. There's 3 players we need. Another CM to cover the loss/injury to Barry/McCarthy. For me that'll be Noble from West Ham, that lad knows how to pass. A quick, young winger (Pienaar has been alright this season, but he's ageing). RM knows the Spanish market and could find someone from there, and finally a finisher. Berbatov would be ideal (I'm sure you'll disagree and could point me in a different area), we've become quite amazing at building up play and getting the ball into the box, we need someone who'll score 9/10 chances with the ball at their feet in the box.

Thing is mate for all our great build up play its not like we are sticking 7-8 chances on a plate for the striker every game, what we actually lack more than anything is that player to put in the decisive ball to the forward

That's just not true though.

We didn't have £13m to spend on a player before sales. If we did, why wait until the last day of the window to move for him ?

I think we were trying to make a phantom bid on the last day for McCarthy, but it backfired because they accepted it.
 

The Leroy Fer money in January 2013 is where the Kone & Robles money came from. That was £8m, Kone cost £6m, Robles was around £2m.

Fellaini out for £27m, Anichebe out for £6m, McCarthy in for £13m.

That eaves £20m. Take away optimistically £5-6m for the Barry & Lukaku loans and if you REALLY want to bail out Kenwright you can talk about agent fees for £4m and worst case scenario it's still £10m in the back pocket, but realistically it should be closer to £15m.

If we don't spend at least £10m this window, I'll be keeping a careful eye on OOC again...

And that is with us sitting right in the thick of the CL hunt mate and not dipping into the end of season tv money, when its pretty much guaranteed now to be top 8 or higher for purposes of figuring out the final amount we will get, the backing him with a bit of money quote from kenwright at the initial conference HAS to be evaluated by us as the kone and robles money making all your points pretty spot on about the rest of the figures
