So I see we are "leading the race" for Balotelli.

Probably the least Pulis-like player ever... Complete no-starter (I hope)

The other thing people seem to be forgetting is that WAGES are the barrier to us signing players not TRANSFER FEES. You can't just balance £20m coming in with £20m going out - it won't work like that - and besides, we have money for transfer fees, no doubting that.

If we offload Saido (say 35k-50k a week) and McMannaman (maybe 20-25k a week) then we would only be able to get in one player on maybe 50k-70k a week, and that would be pushing it for a club like ours, not to mention the potential impact on the dressing room if one player were to immediately come in as the top earner.

I realise that you could allocate some of the transfer revenue to your wage bill but after tax I suspect every £1m in transfer revenue would only equal 15k a week or so (maybe even less) in extra wage space.

Plus you have signing on fees, bonuses, etc. etc.

Hence the reason why I am happy for us to let Morrison go - frees up wage space
