Ashley 'Balancing the books'

Oh, ideally we'd keep Cabaye and Cisse and spend the extra £18m (on basis we wouldn't need De jong and Bent) but if a big club comes in the player will probably go anyway.
We probably never will be a league winning club when those types of club are spending £40-80m on one player.
I'd settle for a continuously improving team and a trophy but more importantly some decent football. Swansea and Wigan won trophies last year and they didn't throw money about.

 

We are waiting until Cabaye has been sold and then we will we make some signings. I called this weeks ago and I hope I'm wrong but I think it may happen now

 

This was in reply to Julio Geordio's comments on buying players with Cab money

i would be happy with that mate, but would we honestly get it or would we just manage to get ONE over the line? whilst we would be fed the same excuses about agent fees, low transfer bids etc. he didn't pull his finger out when we desperately needed players at the start of last season, he only did it when we were staring relegation in the face
