I think it's a bit of a PR gaffe really. At the moment, it looks like we've brought in £100m or thereabouts and borrowed a player for a year. The assumption being that you only borrow when you can't afford. If Saints had announced their marquee signing(s) before announcing a loan deal then all would have been well. I guess the fear is that there will be no marquee signing, just a couple of loans and the cash disappears from the club coffers.
