Not to piss on Jasper's bonfire, but JJ says on Twatter that it isn't what he's hearing...
What was the last info that 'he may have jumped the gun' on? Struggling to trawl through the RO on my phone...
After all, if the money was available, with or without Bale, why muck up the Benteke and Bernard transfers for the sake of a few million?

Who says we "mucked them up", there is a huge difference between over paying for a player and paying the player's worth. We paid more for Soldado than was mooted for either Bernard or Benteke so were obviously willing to pay his worth.
Can you copy it over?
Poor choice of words. If Lewis was thinking like Jack Walker, would we have found the extra ten million total that would have got us both? No.
I wish people would understand that despite Lewis appearing to release some funds to us, we will not be over-paying for players. The reason we baulked at Villa's price for Benteke and AM for Bernard was because they were crazy valuations that meant we would be taking massive gambles if we signed them. Just because we have money to spend doesn't mean we will be wasteful.
Over paying for players doesn't show ambition, just stupidity.
Damn iPhone...
So from Atlanta YId's info we should have £50m + £30m(tvmoney) +£20m(ish) from outgoings + whatever we had in the kitty already say £30m including Modric money, so are we looking at a conservative estimate of £130m without even bothering with any Bale money?
No wonder we ain't grabbing at anything Real Madrid might offer, you can only spend so much in one window.
Mindboggling!!!
