21 minutes in is the interview w/Rafa.
Most interesting thing is that apparently our budget is limited and we need to sell before we can buy

we just need to sell regardless, Crouch, Kuyt, Voronin, Pennant, Riise, Carson and any number of never make it players like leto, guthrie, hobbs to make some place for new players to come in.
Will earn us close to 40 million that can be used to buy one superstar striker and go a long way towards a world class right winger
Nothing wrong with needing to sell first if it means we get rid of players that won't help us win the title. -
Yeah, but I was hoping for more world class signings, I hope we are not back into signing pennant (bentley) types.The Crushing Machine MKIIComment

40 million from sales, a transfer budget of 20 million. with 60 million rafa can buy villa with 30 million and alves too! depends if he's learned to buy quality over quantityComment

What were you expecting with the Texan in charge? All this hope of world class signings was never going to happen.
We're in a worse position now than we were under Moores. We have £30m to pay in interest so there's no way we'll be spending anything over about £10m net and that's if you're lucky.Babel fanclub member # 4!!!

I guess we'll have to wait and see. Hopefully, DIC will be in before the transfer window and throw their oil money at us

Haha, where are we supposed to raise £40m from? You mad? The most we could take in from sales is £20m
Carson £6m-£8m if were lucky
Kuyt and Alonso wont be sold
Pennant £4-5m
Voronin £1-2 m
Crouch £7m
Other fringe players £3-4m
Round about £20m and thats pushing itComment

Id actually hang on to Guthrie. I watched him in Boltons game against Arsenal....and he's a cracking little player. He could easily play on the right in our formation. For the figures being bandied around (£2m) i'd tell Bolton to forget it. He's worth at least £6mOriginally posted by rage View Post"When a man insults my country I insult him, by taking his woman" Tony Yeboah

Rafa: We've got loads of money to spend on big name players
Rafa: We need to sell some players before we can buy.
Now which is the most sensble statement?
All smoke and mirrors

With the way the boardroom is at the moment, we aren't going to get fortunes as it stands..
I'm hoping that DIC come in and we then go on the kinda buying spell that City went on last season when they got took over, just with us buying a better calibre of player.Twin boys - now arriving late August 2008.
Its gonna be Fernando and Gerrard if I get my way!

dropping all sorts of information to lead people astray is part and parcel of the transfer business... rafa would be a fool to talk openly about his transfer budget or targets.Comment

Wasnt included in part of the refinanced load 30mill for transfers this summer?Just look at the face: it's vacant, with a hint of sadness. Like a drunk who's lost a bet.Comment
