I'd be surprised if Charlie Adam doesnt sign in the summer, but I dont think the club can add much in the way of marquee players without blowing the fair play rules out of the water.

I don't think the fair play rules should hinder us too much. I think this year is the first year it comes in to play, and so far our player sales match our purchases. With the sales of a few more players currently on the squad (Soto, Javanovic, Maxi, etc..), we should be able to spend 50-60 million pounds and stay within the rules. I'm not saying we WILL spend that much, but I think we have the option to.
It doesn't really seem like the FFP rules are slowing other teams down either, I mean just look at Chelsea's spending. They spent over 80 million pounds in January and there is a lot of talk about them going on another huge spending spree in the summer. I have no idea how they plan to get around the rules.
