Has anyone any idea why we'd opt to pay the fee for rojo in 3 instalments? Not trying to get into the finances as such but we've supposedly got a lot to spend so what would be the reasoning? Not concerned just genuinely interested in why it's done like that?

Why pay it all upfront when you don't have to? My guess is that whilst there's no set limit on our spending; there is a finite amount of cash readily available within the club.

Might have been better financially for Sporting to take it in 3 installments.

Probably so Ed gets a A+ on his next performance review with the Galzers.
Imagine the extra interest we'll get.

Cash Flow is important in any business, if you don't have to pay for something all at once it gives you cash to spend elsewhere.

If we don't have to pay it all upfront, why not pay it in three installments.

This isn't concerning, this shows that we may well be spending money later in the transfer window and are just limiting our spending.

Also, the 20% sell-on clause that Sporting Lisbon have inserted (over £18.4 million) may have something to do with it.
