A lot of spending has come about because of the amount of money we have been able to shift of the wage bill. Not sure how accurate this is [Link] but even if it is vaguely accuarte we will have cut the wage bill by £25m- £30m , ok we would have to add on for Olise, Guehi, Andersen Gallagher and others who are likely to come in but none of them are going to be close to Sakho or even Cahill wages, £50k a week for each of them would be £10m.

So really depends on how we are paying, if it's in instalments then in could well be offset against the saving in wages, not sure given Reading and Lyon situation if they would be happy with installments.
