Then we spent £50mil on transfers and £30mil on the mortgage is £80mil leavings us with a missing £31mil somewhere and we haven't even sold Arshavin yet (Or almunia, Denilson, Bentdner, Vela and so on)
What about contract renegotiation, and the agreements we have in place regarding paying our loaned out players? And do you include player salaries for the new lads within that 50mil?

I'm sure there is money to spend, but as we're being tight-arsed cunts who don't take risk. Covering their arses if we don't get in the CL I guess.

I'm sure the Yank has told us not to spend until he gets here....at which point, I'm assuming the old board will be overhauled, and his glitzy team of cowboys will take over the rodeo.
