There has been a pattern to our transfer dealings under Rafa, and we dont always give players time to settle in. In his frst season the deals for Garcia and Alonso were only completed once we had confirmed CL qualification. Last year we missed out in the end, but it was late August when we were trying to bring in Simao, Figo and Owen. Based on how we have done our deals in the last couple of years I'd be surprised if we make another big purchase until CL qualification is confirmed.
