£20, 000 000 (Masher fee) = £6, 000 000 (Poulson) + £4, 000 000 (Shit fullback) + £10, 000 000 (Crouchinho?)
Your sums are a bit wrong
£20,000,000 = Shit Midfielder + Shit left-back + Shit striker - Champion's League qualification again + Hodgson sacked

My sum is right. You have merely extrapolated from the initial formula.

We'll get a bit more than £20M for Masher and Poulsen will only cost us around £4M + we'll get a similar fee from Genoa for Insua I hope.
At least £20M to buy from plus any incoming fee for Lucas as well.
Don't mind Brendan Doc he's just mad because... actually he's just a bit 'mad' really....

I hope we do get more than that KHL, but I'm not sure we will unless a bidding war begins. I expect a deal to be concluded behind the scenes with a minimum of fuss for Masher. We'll probably not be told the price. Lucas won't be sold, no chance.
Bren may indeed be a bit touched these days, but it is hard to argue with his logic that, JoeCole apart, we've been linked with a succession of shit players.
