I know that a lot of people took this number as the transfer money and already when this "fund-raiser" happened it tried to explain the real meaning of it.
A lot of sports journalists rarely have real knowledge of business or finance. That is why they confuse these things. For the casual fan that might be ok. I just wanted to prevent further confusion about this issue. In the end folks just take those 120 million substract some amount of money of this mercato's transfers and whine why we could not buy enough players they had hoped for.
I got the intent of your original post and agree to a certain extent with it. The idea behind my post was to clarify the misconceptions related to that "cash injection".
And there is no correct transfer budget to know. At least not for us bystanders. We can roughly guess how much we might spend in one mercato.
