If Chelsea can 'comfortably' spend £200M before sales, having spent well over £1B in the last couple of years. How much can United 'comfortably' spend in the summer, having only spent £400M+ over the last couple of years? Half a billion, more?

The statement makes no sense.

Chelsea's farming of youth players to sell rather than play helps them no end when it comes to FFP. That and their 19 year structuring of contracts for amortization purposes which I think has been outlawed now, but not before they benefitted from it in recent years.

Operation around 60M, including variables, and 4 years of contract for the Dutchman.

To Liverpool in the summer? Rolfes: "I didn't just extend my contract in the autumn for no reason" - Reported interest from the Reds in Xabi Alonso and the manager

The full quotes from Rolfes:
The fact that there is a lot of speculation about Bayer 04’s protagonists due to our current successes is part of the business. But that doesn’t change my direction. It’s not without reason that I only extended my contract in the autumn. I’m absolutely happy in Leverkusen in this constellation.

For whatever reason, the amount in the post is different to Bruno Andrade's article that was published just before, but I'll assume that he fat-fingered the amount in the post.
