Early on in the summer I think I projected our transfer trading profit at over 20 million pounds. I expected us to sell both Fabregas and Nasri, fetching 60 million in the process, and to not spend more than 40m pounds.
We're on track, I think. With Oxhead, Gervinho, Campbell and Jenkison, we've bought about 12+13+1+1 =27m so far, and we are likely to make about 35 + 22 + 10 + 7 + Eboue = 74m from the sales of Fabregas, Nasri, Bendtner and Clichy respectively. That's around a 50m gap if we assume Eboue fetched around 3m pounds.** We will try to spend around 30m on a forward and a defender and be done methinks.
I don't think we are far off from what i expected. The only thing that has really surprised me is how left we have left everything.
** correct mistakes if any, please.
