Schweinsteiger would be a stop gap. He would stem the flow for a couple of seasons like a Ballack type signing.
If money wasn't a limitation we would be getting business done like most other top clubs. Obviously the Mata signing was an indicication we are prepared to but at that time CL football (or even European football) wasn't off the radar. I wonder how the end of season finish changes things with Woodward and the budget.
When my mate told me in the gym last night that Fabregas had joined Chelsea I called BS for about 10mins before checking my phone and verifying it. I then moaned about it for the rest of the session.
