He said it is a bit more complicated than that.
Khaldoon said we'd follow the pattern of previous windows in terms of numbers so it looks like half a dozen signings max.
Last summer there were effectively 6 incoming - Bravo, Nolito, Stones, Sane, Gundogan and Jesus (delayed) in addition to Zinchenko/ Moreno/Mooy/Mari/Rulli etc. In 2015 we recruited only 4 - De Bruyne, Sterling, Otamendi and Delph to the senior squad and also Roberts for loan plus assorted unknowns in La Liga. In 2014 we got 5 - Sagna, Mangala, Fernando, Caballero, Lampard + Bony in January and a few youngsters including Zuculini. In 2013 it was 5 again - Fernandinho, Navas, Negredo, Jovetic & Demichelis.
The previous year was the dross provided to hobble Mancini - Rodwell, Garcia, Sinclair, Nastasic, Maicon and Richard Wright - let's pass on that.
