True at present, but if the flotation in the Far East goes ahead selling off part of the club on the stock market, then SAF's transfer budget could be swelled by around £50M per year. Then Modric and others may become viable targets.

Be afraid.

That's still going to be around half your annual transfer budget on one player - which won't happen.

The last time a manager spent the majority of their summer budget on one player, it was Rafa Benitez on Glen Johnson - it didn't work out for him or the club.
 
Let them have him...the last time they took our best player for silly money, it went really well didn't it!!! :D

As long as we don't spend half of it on some Blackburn player who doesn't fit into our system or style of play, where the justification for his signing is "Aaron Lennon can play on the left" instead of signing a left winger - or playing Bale there...
