In a well-ordered universe...
...or is this yet another Soccernet "rumor"
<a href="http://www.soccernet.com/england/news/2002/0310/20020310afcinterbid.html" target="_blank">Inter offer 100m quid for Arsenal trio</a>
The post also claims Scholes turned down a move to Inter for 31m quid. Scholes is a fantastic player, but if a team offers 30m or more, it becomes business sense to sell him. That money would buy 2 defenders without digging into the PLC transfer kitty. Nesta (20-25m) and Hofland (12-15m). So the PLC would use around 5-10m.
