Interestingly, the purchase of AOC kinda corroborates a story I read about the whole transfer prevarication being down to wages as we have the money to pay the big fees, he'd be on a relatively low wage compared to the guys we'd be looking to bring in (aside from Jagielka and Samba imo, that may well just be ordinary parsimony).
