I find it difficult to see how we have "overspent" when you look at what we brought in and the relatively tiny size of our squad. I suppose we have wasted wages on the likes of Costa, Casilla and Roberts but even so. Not sure what the effect of the Augustine shambles is but presumably that will be a net outgoing.
And now maybe some may understand why KP went to City - he had to - no extended contract offered, no noises trying to persuade him to stay, so who can blame the lad.
Said it four weeks ago that Kalvin and Rapha where going to get £100 million into the coffers so that they wouldn't have to spend any of their own or the TV money which will all go into their pockets.

weve spent about the same as weve recouped from the sale of Phillips so far, will have to wait and see how much more we spend - will depend on what we get for Rapha IMO
