Mail reporting this morning that Christie fee likely to rise to 4m with achievable add ons. Lowe 1.5 rising to 2m. Thought it was worth a thread as there seemed to be an assumption knocking about that we are ‘strapped for cash.’ Putting it into context, this makes us the second highest spenders in the league behind Fulham, joint with Stoke. We may have sold Danjuma but WBA and Sheff U both recouped 20m+ and didn’t spend a penny, with higher parachute payments too. Perhaps we aren’t that cash strapped after all?
