I think it's easy to forget that Wages are also a big party of FFP. Spending say 20-30M more on wages this year with Falcao, Di Maria, Mata, etc takes a big bite out of that 100M figure.
Disappointed that Welbeck has been allowed to leave but Falcao is definitely an upgrade.
Mata is going to be the one to miss out as they can't all play unless RvP is going to be out for a few months.
With all the new arrivals I think we will switch to 433
------------ De Gea
Rafael--Rojo---Jones---Shaw
-------------Blind
...Herrera------------Di Maria
------------Rooney
--------Falcao------RvP
Back 4 could be better but the front 4 if you include Di Maria is as strong as anyone in the league.
By the time they all settle we will be well off the pace for the top 4, but a much better foundation too build upon than we started the season
Your top 4 earners combine to a million a week.We have also got rid of Rio, Vidic, Giggs, Evra all on over £100k and players like Welbeck and Hernandez on about £75k each.
That is probably £30m knocked off the wage bill.

Like I said t'other day; that entire right flank is fucking laughable. That entire line-up is fucking laughable actually. This isn't Championship Manager son.
I could fucking waltz through that midfield and I make Charlie Adam look like new RonaldoLike I said t'other day; that entire right flank is fucking laughable. That entire line-up is fucking laughable actually. This isn't Championship Manager son.

By my math, Mata+Falcao+Di Maria add roughly 800k/wk to your wage bill. Plus I'd imagine Blind and Rojo are on fairly generous deals, and isn't Luke Shaw on a bumper deal as well? So call it adding 1M/wk to the wage bill gross.
I would be very surprised if you spent anywhere near that 100M figure in the next several windows.

I'm going to skip financial debates from now on, think most are tiring of me repeating the same stuff over and over.
I believe Rooney's contract specifies that he always has to be the highest-paid player. (The things clubs are prepared to agree to! 🙄 )
The Falcao deal presumably means that Rooney's pay will go up.
I bet you couldn't.If I had a flamethrower id burn this thread to the fucking ground.
