Think some of the young recruits will come through but really only to bulk the squad, as if they had been that good would their previous clubs have let them go. Plus if you overplay them they end up getting burnt out like Viera. Think we really need a good back up for BPF. Then might try Dallas at LB as he is not good enough in attack. Added to that think we also need 2x CH, 2x wingers, DM and a striker . If we can get 3 of these on a Loan to Buy option. Then £7 to £10 million would cover the cost for the other 3 players, we have £5 m to come from the Wood sale for each of the next 2 years ( £10m) and most likely a Cook sell on clause . Think we should have enough to invest, its really just getting the right players, if we can get the players of the caliber of Saiz, Foreshaw and Pontus that's all we need . Then just to bed them in and get them to gel

What part of skint don't you understand? The bit that we have no money or the bit that we have no money?

Marty don't know why you think we are completely skint, we are owed £10 million from Wood. We have a turnover of £40million at least, Rads bought the ground saving us rent (not the actions of a skint businessman) . Rads is supposed to be worth at least £500 million and is on the record as saying he has the investment funds. He would not have gone about his business plan thinking he would run out of funds mid way through his first season in chargeand then giving players improved contracts only 3 months ago, not the actions of a skint businessman. Suppose he might be trying to disguise the fact he wants to spend money this summer, so as to avoid inflating the price of any targets they may have in mind. But we should not be buying the line that we are skint when the evidence shows different, unless of course their are some porky's in there somewhere, so think that answers your question and there will be funds to bring in players unless you think Rads is going to repeat the woes of previous owners

It's all on paper. How far is woods money going to go PA? You can't get a decent striker for less than 15mill nowadays. We can't compete

Your idea of skint and a multi millionaires idea of skint are two totally different figures. If there is a bargain out there and a key to our promotion I bet he can find a few million spare, in fact if he hangs on I am due to win the Euromillions anytime soon.
