It is still is all very weird. I can't quite understand why Chelsea seemed fine with this deal when they didn't want to sell him to PSG just a few months ago. Maybe it does make some sense for them in meeting FFP, which would be an good sign, but Manchester City will probably be the ones to test and break FFP anyway and I imagine Chelsea will then follow suit along with everyone else once that happens.

Maybe the size of the bid and a perception that it isn't what United need most that made them willing to do the deal. Maybe it leaves less money for a big signing where United are weak but if United are willing to go beyond £20 million for Luke Shaw then transfer funds are clearly not a problem for Moyes. Hell rumours are Rooney will get nearer £300,000 a week!
