We are not well stocked at number 10. Our Hernandez is not good away from home and is beginning to feel his years. Roofe - not good enough. Any other stand out candidates? I don't think so. Personally, if we had the cash Vydra and A. Hernandez would be a bit of a handful. A centre half ( or two) ; A left back and a goal keeper. With the players we have we would be in a decent position, . Cost? Vydra - £10million plus £1.7 annually; Hernandez £0 plus £1.7 annually, Centre half - £4 million plus £1.25 (possibly x two) ; Goal keeper £.75 million ish plus £0.75 million annually. Left Back - £4 million plus £1.2 million annually. Very rough but potential ballpark figures. Up front spend - £ 22.75 Annual cost £7.85 million. All this partially offset by offloading players and possibly cash + player deals. Given the 49 er's connection, and what the club might have available, makes it perfectly do-able if the club has the desire and the ambition. If we get Bielsa the good part would be his ability to get decent players in - Downside? Whatever his financial package turns out to be.

From what I've been reading, Bub's financial package is sorted, just a matter of him shoving Orta to one side now so he has full control of the first team.

Bub was on 150,000 a week in his last job, I think for leeds and the quality of the division he'll drop to 100000 at worst, are you forgetting that other 5 million hess? 35 million on just transfers and a manager after paying off whatever heck was on is a hell of a lot. Phil hay has said we can't afford bartley, Hernandez, vydra and bielsa, I think we'll get 2 out of the 4, vydra and bielsa. Hernandez i'd love and I think we need him the most but I don't see it for some reason, unless it happens today or tomorrow its too late and his head will have been turned by gala. I get the feeling bielsa doesn't like barts, and has his own ideas of who he wants in from abroad, but again who knows if even bielsa is coming. the whole summer depends on if bub turns up in his big black tracksuit shouting Spanish at the camp and only Hernandez understanding what he's saying.

PH was only £500k to pay off due to a clause in his contract. That's why Radz waited until June 1st, otherwise it would have been double that amount.
