From: Boris Punk on
"There are players who come with a big name and are very expensive. So we
have to wait and I think the World Cup will determine the transfer market
this year."

On his spending budget, the Spaniard added: "I have an idea and I think it's
important to wait and do the right thing at the right moment."

The WC will, if anything, raise the value of players. So it's a good idea to
wait until after the WC to look at buying. Rafa baffles me sometimes.

We are leaking money, the club is up for sale, we are out of the CL. No
fresh injection of cash will be available until we're sold. He'll spend
some through sales, but I expect the yanks will cream some sales cash to
shore up the leak. I would if I were them, much as I despise them.
