Id be pleased with £3 million though. I would have liked the boy to come good but I don't think we can actually take that risk. He's on too big a salary. We need players who dont need confidence rebuilt. Ive been shocked at some of the deals they’ve pulled off tbh in terms of selling players. Id be pleased with £3 million though.

We are 3/4 quality signings away. If we can make them and any other signings are to back the first 11 up then great we will fly. Looking at it I would like the following to happen. Sign Coloccini and Cuellar (if available), Warnock, Roque Santa Cruz (worth a bid) and a playmaker through the middle. I am not going to quote a name on the final one because quite frankly its a hard one. Whos available and at a realistic price. That would leave us a squad of roughly: Given Harper Krul Forster Enrique Warnock Taylor Coloccini Cuellar Faye Bassong Beye Edgar Cacapa Butt Geremi Duff Milner Guthrie (NEW PLAYMAKER) Gutierrez Barton N'Zogbia Owen Martins Viduka Santa Cruz (Ameobi out) Healey?? (REPLACEMENT SMITH) Carroll That pool of players would be enough for a top 8 finish. We aren't a million miles away from a squad which would be pretty good. I would really like to see Owen signed up though as he really was the reason we didnt get relegated last season and by far our best player in our squad. I would be very happy with that squad. What about you guys whats your thoughts? All this stuff about us not spending much... If Coloccini is signed hes our most expensive defender ever... We've signed Guthrie and Gutierrez already. I think very clever moves so far. I don't think its a case of money. Its look increasingly like its a case of if the right player is available they'll make a play. The media as ever just stiring stuff and serving up old quotes... I look at it this way. We are 3/4 quality signings away.

If improving the squad can cost less money then it's a no brainer really. Absolutely. If improving the squad can cost less money then it’s a no brainer really.
