It all depends on the extent of our ambition.If we want to be up there punching with the big boys, I think we would need to spend in excess of £40 mill this summer. If Spurs, City and Liverpool are spending big money on the likes of Modric, Silva and now Henderson, we have to at least match that kind of spending. If not we are fighting for the 7th-10th places.
