Being on the phone is one thing but not comparable to direct involvement. Or had he already worked the targets out by Wednesday morning? If so, it didn't look that way and they cut things a little fine. It's odd he wasn't around yesterday.
He only needed to be a phone call away though tbh, i think he was aware of deals, how nuch he played a part in the signings is the question. Ones things for sure these were not his targets in May.

We all know he wanted, Cahill, Hazard, Benzema and A DCM/CM and maybe a keeper.
