I think its becoming abundantly clear that we will not 'buy' anyone to come into the first team until Eddy is sold. We may bring in a couple of loanees at RB & CH, and maybe a small fee for a 'project' if a deal can be done. This will be the reason we seem to have moved to the Couto loan option at RB rather than buying Juranovic, also why we are waiting to see if we can get a loan deal for Itakura from City. Scales could be a low cost project to give us cover in a number of positions. We won't sign a striker unless Eddy is sold, we won't sign a Left Winger unless Christie is sold.
The cash we have spent so far in this window has been covered by the sale of Ajer. All of the cash from Frimpong, Elhamed, Hendry, Klimala, Bayo and Shved will have gone towards reducing the losses of the financial year to June.
