We have 100m to spend. The club could spend 20m on transfer fees and bring in some pretty decent players, and still pocket 30-40m themselves.

Crying out for a target man , who better than lambert could we get ?
Id hope we can do better than a guy who only managed 1 goal last season and needs a permission slip to leave the old folks home to show up for game day.
As Ellewoods said, the fact he struggled to get into West Brom's team tells you a lot. He isn't the player he was for Southampton and Norwich, why couldn't we get somebody better than him?
Also, he's only half an inch taller than Hernandez, do we really need a target man like that when we have one who's pretty good at holding the ball up anyway?

The Crouch of a few years ago would be first choice for most teams in the top flight,
Sadly them days are gone but he could be good value for a late impact role.
Nah...they'll sell all our decent players, stock up with a squad of 20 players on 8,000 quid per week, charge 15 quid for 10,000 supporters per week for the next 3 years and give the club away for a quid. Still walk away with 20-30 million quid clear.
If we spend £20m odd and add in the likely wage bill, that's all the money gone, there's no £30-40m to pocket.
Either he's looking to sell (which he's in the perfect position to do today), or he's looking to stay (in which case he'll have to spend to compete), he can't do both ffs.
So you think our transfer kitty is 20 million? it might stop posters sneering at every name mentioned. Good reality check for some.
I'd take Cameron Jerome, good foil for Abel.
The transfer kitty is dependant on how ambitious our owner is (whoever that is) and as payments are staged we could probably spend up to £40m no problem. But if you're purely looking to balance the books, there's far less cash kicking about than some people seem to think.
Jordan Ayew, scored 7 in a **** side last season. Signed for 8 million on a 5 year deal, they might be desperate to get rid?
Edit. Bollocks Jerome has just signed a 3 year deal at Norwich.
