£30 Million to spend?
« on: November 07, 2013, 08:32:42 PM »
Imagine you are Paul Lambert, we have just sold Benteke in January for £30 million and Randolph has told you buy replacements to strengthen the squad with the money. Who would you buy ? UTV

Shinji Kagawa

Not that he'd be likely to want to come here

I think we should exploit the fact that there's a world cup.  a few squad players would probably welcome first team football (at minimal cost):

1. Kagaawa
2. DE Bruyne
3. Schurrle

Therefore spend 15m on a star, loan one player and have, 15m left over for the summer.

You really think players who have signed for Chelsea a few months ago are going to give all that up to come here for less than 1/2 the wages they are currently on?

I shuddered when i worked out that Supertom's list cost the best part of 45 million by memory of reported transfer fees!

No wonder Lerner lost heart!

The thought of losing Benteke doesn't bother me so much now as it did in the summer. It's fairly inevitable that he will go in the summer, and if the funds are not there for quality players in midfield then provided we spend the money well it could be the breath of new life we need. Would hope for more than 30 though!
