Summer Mercato 2011

This financial fair-play is probably the reason why we will probably buy some young and promising players and future stars like Ganso ... Then, we will probably struggle to pay, so it's now or never.

There are two ideas behind that:
- building a new squad
- having future stars means that if we are in trouble financially in the coming years, we'll have players to earn huge amounts of money

It's the way I understand our sudden will to invest on WC/young star players ...

Long term it's also better financially because young players tend to earn only a fraction of what older players, or players near their prime earn. So when financial fairplay sets in, it makes more sense to have a bunch of players approaching their prime on lower wages when financial fairplay sets in, since our wage bill can be less at that point. This also means that the younger players' new contracts will be negotiated in the new environment (Which will surely be an enviroment where players play for less money)
