Cos if we sell Morison, Martin, Vaughan, then we can buy Rhodes. It's all part of the masterplan

hmm, concerning.
strikes me that hughton is trying to rake in funds. there may or may not be any truth in this story but combined with the vaughan rumours i suspect this is more than just paper talk with regards us trying to offload one of our forwards.
i know he splits opinion but really we should not sell him for anything less than £5m - that is his worth to us, absolute minimum. he's a proven top flight striker, whose form only dipped when playing with an injury. i think it would be suicidal to sell him but who knows what hughton may have up his sleeve. one thing is for sure, the clubs linked to him aren't going to be paying £5m for him...
well, qpr might! where are liverpool when you need them...?![]()
I'm confused as to why Hughton feels he needs to rake in funds. We were all told that this season we would spend more money than ever before. I would imagine we have spent around £5m so far so unless Hughton is looking to smash our transfer record on one player, why would he need to bring more funds in, as surely we still have around £7m left in the budget?
Can't see us being in for him in al honestly. Far too young and not WCT (World Class Talent) unlike our preferred target Del Piero who is the right side of 50 and a Global Player
Nope its just the usual pre-start crap the media love to throw about.
i do think people overestimated how much we had to spend though!
if you think we've spent about £4.5m already this summer in fees alone, we've probably got about the same amount left to spend on fees. there is no way he would spend every penny available to him this season during the summer alone - he'd have to keep some back for january too in case we desperately need more investment.
I can't see how we will spend another £5m unless its all splashed on one or two players, so if its true that we are looking to offload Morison, we will surely be spending £5m or more on one player alone.
...can you just clarify if your joking about Del Piero, I can't tell.
we can take mackie off your hands if you like...
