Mon was on tv in January saying we had to sell to buy players but I'm not sure if there's a new budget availaBle this summer, if we have £10m to spend plus raise £15m and sell milner on top that could be £50m plus at his disposal which could strenghten well if spent wisely!

Taking your numbers as right, that would still be £25m WITHOUT selling Milner, which if used right could also see us strengthen well!

MON spent £25m on Davies, Shorey, Sidwell and NRC.

I don't trust him to strengthen us too much.

I'm not all convinced we need to sell to raise funds to buy. admittedly, we need to get rid of what might be deemed dead wood (still think there's a player or two amongst the six IMO) but that is necessary.

We probably will buy as we usually do with one player in the £10-15million bracket and a couple of solid pros from the sub £8million bracket as before. I think that will happen regardless of the Milner money and the money from shipping out the 'dead wood' will contribute.

I don't think this is the first summer Martin has said there isn't that much money and every summer we have made healthy investment. It is kidology. If we are perceived to have lots of money it will put millions on the price of any target. It could be the difference between paying £10million and £15million on Robbie Keane or Carlton Cole ;-)

MON has had some good buys, but more shit ones IMO.

I really hope he is a bit more adventurous this window. Couldn't bare to sign dross like Carlton Cole, Bobby Zamora and Steven Taylor. Which are the type of signings I'm expecting.

Man city bought another midfielder then. Yeah I know hes defensive but still another fooker...


 
Yaya Toure to Manchester City could be concluded as soon as today with the player’s agent claiming that agreement

Yaya Toure and De Jong will be a really difficult midfield to break through.

With Adam Johnson and another winger they could be right up there next season.

Yaya Toure is a fine player but if we keep Milner and get Ireland from them I wont be too unhappy. Quite the opposite.
