Apprently Chelsea only major club in Europe that pay money upfront.
He says won't be supraised if you sign three players within next two weeks, as we are going to sign two players in next 10 days, beleied to be Moutinho and Dos Santos.. :O interesting!

I expect us to get our transfer dealings done pretty early on this summer - we did last year and this year we'll want it done before Euro 2008 as if anything the Euro's will drive prices up.
As for Chelsea being the only big club to pay up front - it figures. They can afford to others can't: paying up front would mean having the sort of figures we're talking about (£15m+) in the bank gathering dust; money that would better serve being invested in the business.
