The question is whether with sales from Rodwell and Richards and maybe Nastasic we're interested in going for Barkley or even Di Maria. On balance I doubt it but we'll see.
The Club had 4 principal targets this transfer season and we've got the lot. Quick efficient as Khaldoun promised. Impressive stuff. Fans are spoiled. If we don't sign a big established name the whole site goes into overdrive attacking the Club's judgement. It's disappointing to say the least. I'm really looking forward to seeing this guy personally.

He might not fit into the system he plays for example. Or the existing two centre backs have a good partnership which he doesn't want to break. Look at Hansen. Best defender Scotland had yet Miller and Mcleish were the preferred duo mainly due to them

The ceiling was actually set in euros at 60m, the 49m was at the exchange rate at the time, closer to 48m now.
Agree on your second point too, people have been screaming for a central defender and are whinging now we are spending on one.

Crikey, if that's true, can we cancel the Mangala deal and go for him instead ??

Cavani at CB. Are you Stuart Pearce? Be honest.
Cheers

I would rather have Mangala and sell any combination of the following players to raise the cash & wages;
Javi García
Jack Rodwell
Martín Demichelis
Richard Wright
Dedryck Boyata
John Guidetti
Scott Sinclair
Luca Scapuzzi
Emyr Huws
Reece Wabara

I'd sell everyone on that list bar, Demi, Wright and Boyata (Boyata only stays because we need his HG status)
Shifting Javi and Jack has to be the priority now, they just don't have a place in our club anymore, In Jacks case this is because he hasn't delivered as a player for us and in Javi's case because he is unfortunately foreign and we need to trim to meet the quotas.
I really feel for Javi though, he has improved, he just looks doomed to be sold. He's the least vital and easiest to trim of all of our foreigners, it's really unlucky for him.
