We don't need those players, the money would be better spent elsewhere.

Yeah, its huge breaking news in some places, but the truth of the matter is that the reporter breaking it is a notorious fiction writer.
I have no doubt that Masch wont play, hes probably still injured. The rumoured Barca offer is a complete joke, £12-15M +2 Barca scraps. But they've got no choice, they're broke.
Apparently Roy's asking price starts at £26M and no players. I'd want to see £30M+.
Also, this 'strike' business is total bull, anyone that has seen how hes held himself the last month or so and how he played against Arsenal would think hes a better professional than all that.
