I have been monitoring our money situation, and if we are bringing in a new centre back and right winger. How much do we have to spend??? we had 25million to spend at the start of the season and we spent about 20m of it already. however if we add on the transfer money we have recieved onto the left over money then we have about 10 million left. this is enough to get a decent right winger and a centre back.
another thing that has come to my attention is that if (sorry....when!) we get in the champions league we get an extra 10million. therefore we would have 20 million at our disposal! whether rafa spends all of it before august or saves some of it for the january window transfer window is unknown.
Basically what i am trying to get at is all though getting a striker is not priority, its more than possible for rafa to afford
upson(5million), malbranque(5million) and kuyt (10million)!
i believe the kuyt signing will happen if we get rid of baros, which would add more funds aswell!
