    According to Damien Comolli:

    "There will be business opportunities like never before," ex-Liverpool and Tottenham director of football Damien Comolli told BBC Sport.
    "With the new £3bn TV rights deal starting in July, Premier League clubs have a clear vision of their income for the next three years and know they've got a big ability to spend a lot of money.
    "In addition, the rest of Europe is struggling financially. Teams in France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands and Italy are all looking at the Premier League and saying, 'You can have any of my players'.
    "I've never seen a seller's market as it is now - you've got sides in Europe who are ready to write off their seasons and clear their wage bills. They are literally saying, 'everybody is for sale'."

    I wonder if we will look at players across Europe to try and get better deals, its not the norm for MoN but we do not have an unlimited budget I wouldn't of though especially not as far as the wage bill goes

    not to mention the many English teams looking to balance the books for the new rules, the likes of us and stoke who are close to/or in the black can really take advantage of this.

    Nice in theory, however totally disregards whether a persued player would actually want to sign for that football team.

    a good way of looking at it.
    I expect QPR to spank **** loads of cash to try to stay on the gravy train.

    Apparently both Barca and Real Madrid are in the black and there are no more big signings in the pipeline. Looking to develop their own and buy Spanish.

    Probably the worst source of information on the planet when it comes to transfers. His judgement of the market is now legendary.
