I don't have any answers to that. I would imagine there will be bigger signings closer to the transfer window shutting.
There are those with parachute payments, those with chairmen 'gifting' money to reach the promised land and those whom are trying to survive. I think we slip in to the last...
We want to be self sustaining. We are not in a position to offer silly money to ensure a signing when the most sought after players hold the cards.
However, we have done so in the past.
