I would be disappointed if we didn't spend £40-50m on players this summer. That would be covered alone by our £55m TV money. No excuse not to.

All went to clubs with more money than us.
I just mean he doesn't seem like a special player that the board would really push the boat out on. I'd be surprised if we were to sign him and then spend big money on anyone else. We dont have the money that the likes of Chelsea, City, Man U and even Woolwich will have.
Would people be happy if our only two signings were Paulinho and Villa?
Thats a fair point about what money gets you I suppose. Just look at Bentley.My point was that spending 17M now a days doesn't guarantee you a special player in the way it would have in years gone by.
I'd be we'll happy with Paulinho and Villa. Don't know what some of you are expecting.
I'd be amazed if we signed all those players personally.Buying Paulinho, Villa, a striker and maybe another winger for this speculated 433 would cost around £40m and they're all players we need.
Last season we would've broke the £60m barrier if Moutinho had signed, the money is there if it is needed and its sure as hell needed if we want to keep up.

Again, referring to last season; Dembele, Lloris, Dempsey, Vertonghen, Adebayor and Sigurdsson all signed. Not sure if we had champions league money despite not actually being in the competition but TV money makes up for that. I understand that we don't need to sign 6 players again but it doesn't hurt to strengthen and improve.
But it never really has; that's down to scouting.
Look at Andy Carroll.

That reminds me...I haven't done my cash flow analysis for iron side Tucker yet.
Notice he hasn't prompted me.
Knock yourself out. Go on, go and count your beans.
