Useful £11m for Lavia, thank you Chelsea, and seemingly the best offer for Cancelo coming from Saudi, so the pot to buy a midfielder and LB should be pretty decent. Don't know much about Paqueta or Barco who apparently we are bidding for but I am sure Alvarez would help the lad from Boca settle.

In 1906 they were found, in essence, to be funnelling money through secret accounts to circumvent rules designed to stop wealthy individuals from pouring their money into clubs, skewing the market and gaining an unfair sporting advantage

It isn't a bottomless pot.
£50m+ profit on academy sales so far this Summer, add in the £300m in prize and TV money from last season however does give us a healthy kitty.

Think that's the end of it with Paqueta. Shame cause he was very good last year for West Ham. But there's always another player.

Serves West Ham right for being greedy too.
