trix: Just spoke to my mate about all things transfer window and he said something I found very interesting. He was with a very well known agent with plenty of Prem players on his books(and some abroad) yesterday and he told him that any of his players that were attracting Premier league attention were being advised to do nothing at all until the summer, when the new TV deal comes in
[the majority of it is paid out at end of the season] and wage budgets increase.
Some info on FFP, tv money and wage caps:

trix again: As far as I am aware we haven't even made an official offer for any of them [MP targets] as yet, we just know they would all leave their current clubs to come to us. As of this morning I am still hearing the same. Players lined up, but until there are outgoings nothing at all will happen. There has been interest in quite a few, but how far down the line any of that is, is generally not something I will be told.
My stuff mainly comes from MP's pov so to speak, so I might hear who we are looking at or trying to get rid of, and basic stuff regarding deals, but I won't hear much else as far how close deals are etc. I do hear other bits and pieces but info from agents isn't always the most reliable, especially when it is second and third hand. When I think it's solid I do generally post as much
