With the Kaboul sale and soon to be Kone fee? Should be in the region of 21/22 million quid, burning a whole in his pocket. Maybe a nice extention and double glazing. His gaff is looking a bit shabby. please log in to view this image Or maybe a bit of sea air. And still have change for a Steven Pie-naar. please log in to view this image Help dear Uncle Ellis spend his money.
I watched David Moyes interview with interest. Where he said we couldn't afford Benteke for example. From what I understand Palace have bid 27 million plus 5 million in add ons and this has been accepted. So far in this window we have sold: Kaboul 4 million Giaccerini 2 million Bridcutt 1 million plus two marbles Graham 2 marbles Kone seemingly at least 18 million at the moment. So there is the money for Benteke or at least enough to make a decent offer? If we had another owner with ambition then this is certainly doable? All this is without the TV money? Worst scenario just selling Kone would leave us 14 million to cover this transfer. 14 million for Benteke is peanuts. Something sadly wrong here somewhere
He has standards to maintain. Also a house here (lucky bugger) http://www.forbes.com/sites/erincar...e-the-billionaire-getaway-kukio/#e67fa8a80828
I wouldn't like to think that we bought any players if Ellis needed a new carpet on his yacht or something. I'd rather he held onto his money personally, never mind the club.
