Spending £20m, £30, or even £40m on a single midfielder is not going to make any difference to the outcome of this season. We need at least 4 decent signings at LB, CB, striker and in the middle. If we don't get that they might as well keep the cash and pay down the debt. I'm wondering if they are already starting to view the money from Fabregas as compensation for missing out on the CL next season, the Nasri cash for the season after that, then RvP, then Jack who would be worth a couple of season of lost CL revenue. Then they could start spinning bullshit about getting back on top once the stadium is paid off, "loyal" fans might be asked to be patient until that happens. They could even be banking on the authorities levelling up the playing field with the fair play rules (no chance). I wouldn't put anything past the board at the moment. One thing's for sure, they are too fucking pig ignorant, arrogant and smug to tell the fans what's going on.
