I would guess that the targets are already lined, no way Roy would leave it to the last second. If the money comes he knows who he wants, it wont be panic buying.
Yer exactly. Broughton has probably told him what the sitation is right now and when they are looking to get the deal complete. Roy will have his players in mind. I think Purslow will be keen to make a mega signing to send a message to other teams, like City did when they bought Robinho.
