Why are people talking as if we only have £15 million? I swear we went through this earlier.
Also someone even alluded to JJ's info about evaluating the value of each player and deal.
It's not as black and white with a club such as Spurs that we have a definitive amount... It's more likely to be we will be willing to invest if the potential benefits of a deal outweigh it's financial cost... E.g through the gaining of experience and boost in shirt sales (Villa) Or the potential to move them on in their peak for huge profits (Halilovic and Jedvaj). This is obviously all going to be within the guidelines of a loose budget.
You really think if the deal ticked all the boxes for us we wouldn't be able to find a couple of extra million 'over the forecasted budget'? (In relation to someone above saying about how could we afford 17 million for Croatian lads if we only had 15 million.)
We ain't setting up LOC's for the good of our health either. I would be astounded if AVB's backing this window was a measly 15 million. Not to mention the likes of what its saying to Bale.
Like you allude to anyway, Levy will buy if it makes good business sense to do so.
