The plan is to go on a spending spree before the FFP kicks in, in fact, buy players they don't need so that they can sell them on in later seasons.

Linked with Bruno eh? Think we're the first big club to be. Always liked him, good midfielder who spoils opponents attacks and makes good use of his left foot. Slightly prefer him to Javi Martinez as he has a bit more to his passing game, whereas Martinez does a similar job but with a more physical game.

i think Montolivo would be a great signing for either Arsenal or United. He is a little stagnated at Fiorentina and the challenge could motivate him. He has great talent and ability, a very smooth footballer.

Fairly certain Milan would be getting him next year and they won't make Aquialani's loan deal permanent..
