"It's very clear in the process we're going through commercially that our value and our appeal and our reach in Asia is a huge attraction to our commercial partners," he said.
"As many of them have seen this week, when we come to town, it kind of sets the place on fire ... the buy-in from fans and partners alike is phenomenal and it's one of those quite unique experiences for some of them when they see the size and the appeal of the club."

The highlighted comment has me wondering if the remaining transfer budget is based upon Suarez leaving.
Did the so called failed transfers not happen because we didn't want to spend first?
Did the other transfers only happen because of the players sold?
I wish the transfer window would shut already, or we buy someone that excites. I'm still wanting to know who the player was that was meant to excite the fans last summer. At least the Jan signings surprised me, and hopefully they will continue into the new season.
