Some folks theorise this might be us bringing in some players before any takeover announcements, when clubs will most likely hike up prices. A theory but one that makes quite a bit of sense when you think about it. Wasn't that an issue when Lerner took over, memory a little fuzzy but didn't we end up paying over the odds on a few players because clubs knew we had money to spend.
Whatever it is, much more exciting than talking about some Championship defender we've never heard of.
