Does Smith leaving give us the chance to get another quality player?

    Just wondering if his 60k a week is off the wage bill and we just got a bumper new deal of Puma for kits, could we use them funds to bring in a player we may have waited until the summer to go for? E.g. Vertonghen, Douglas, Zaha etc, whats your thoughts?

    No as we pay most of his wages. He'll be gone in summer though.

    Yeah i know, but i mean using his wages (once the leach actually leaves) to get a defender or winger.

    I think we'll still be paying at least 40k a week for him.

    Maybe, Smith was good in the CC, he could be great for them at that level. He could be a captain and have impact.

    Maybe 15k.

    It's not ability, it's their finances. They're paying about 2.5k.

    A league one team wouldn't even be able to afford paying a player £5,000 a week.
