My hope is that we have all our ducks in a row before we sell Gordon,

Spend the money before announcing the sale otherwise we will end up paying over the odds for players and end up in a very precarious position of desperate buys to try and plug gaps.

Never east been a blue but we have the potential to come out of this window much stronger than when we entered it fingers crossed we have everything in place.

In the flip side we are more than capable of cocking it right up ?.

I would only sell him if we have a replacement? or the money will go missing.

You go to buy early in the window and pay top money, you go last minute and pay top money. What does that really mean? Players are sold for whatever the deal is. We can't be held over cash filled barrels for higher prices like the last 5 years as everyone knows 2 clubs tried to sue us for FFP possible breach. So I'm sorry but this is just some fan paradox. We will hopefully get that money for Gordo and already have our targets lined up. We won't be going out competing for 50m players all of a sudden. We will likely get a cheap or nominal throw in with someone like Bat's (like it or not, he's the one consistently linked and ed2 has repeated that all summer) last year of contract and clearly not going to play so they want rid. And then a possible Che Adams type or Diaz (my personal fav of the recent linked) and we will likely be looking at about 10 to 15m and we will still haggle to pay that over several seasons. If we do get 50m + then we may end up getting a surprise 3rd signing? I'm discounting Gueye here because I've a feeling he's going to come regardless, we're just playing Window chicken with PSG. Sounds like nobody else is in for him and they have the choice to get rid or keep a player who'll cost em a small fortune not to play. I think we've handled the window exactly how we had to. It's frustrating and unnerving obviously but that's our lot for the next 18 months. 2 strikers and 2 midfielders wod be just what the doctor ordered please! And if 2 of them are PXs from Gordon's deal and another is a cheap nominal for Gueye. That gets the next winter window into credit and gives us some breathing space with say 35 to 40m in the bank. We could be Leicester so it could be a worse window.

Lee, bit of a silly statement to make there mate. FM has spent fortunes on the club since coming in, albeit wasting most of it. When has cash ever 'gone missing'?
