How do you know you have £40m to spend though Nick?
the board stated thats how much he will have for the summer , the joys of mutv ..


i herd he was 24 aswell was that a fuk up ?? he dont look 24
lyon reportedly want 25 mill for diarra as they rate him as a much better all round play i cant see us paying that
He doesn't look 24, no! I'm pretty sure he was only young when he signed for Barca from Boca, and that wasn't that long ago, and you'd expect decent players to leave south america at an early age. I'll take your word for it about the £40m then...

Though I think it'd take more than those 2 to finish above Chelsea I suspect, especially if they sign Ballack and a couple of others, they'd have a pretty sweet midfield then... Of course you could probably get more than just those 2 for £40m unless they think you're in the same bracket as Chelsea...
