I wouldn't believe we have to sell first, we have got rid of a lot of dead wood, Rafa will have a pot he can play with, hopefully Leon Baily COYB.

Walcott, Bolasie, besic and king have all left as their contracts have ended.
Admittedly no fees for them but it is 4 wages off the books.

With no fees in for any of our transfers out we will only have a small pot of cash available. I am under the impression we need to sell to be able to buy to stay within Premier League sustainability regulations. Its not so much the owners don't have the money and don't want to spend it its they are not allowed to spend if they wish to stay within the regulations. The club needs to work within the framework and not get saddled with unsustainable increasing debt. Well that's my understanding anyway. I'm sure Ed002 may be able to clarify if my thoughts are roughly correct or not and let us know what the situation is in his opinion.

{Ed002's Note - It is more complex that that as it does not apply to single seasons but clubs need to work within the rules.}

Will we still be able to buy more expensive players this window Ed?

{Ed002's Note - If the club sells players to raise funds.}
