We could afford it in the summer so why not now?
Because we still had money in the bank from last few seasons. We've also had to borrow £32m to keep cashflow into the club until end of the season.
Nobody here know what the £32m are brought in for.
Chronicle says it wasn't for transfers, so it's for day to day operations.

If it was for transfers, how smart would it be to tell the whole world that we have just borrowed £32m for new players?
