Davy 68 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I have been told by someone that we have £10m to spend, and I have no reason to disbelieve that person.We have spend around £3m on the signings of Beasley and Cuellar, which leaves us £7m remaining.However, if the papers are anything to go by, we will sign Whittaker for around £2m and McCulloch for a similar sum... meaning we are around £2-3m short of what we estimated.But do we have any other signings lined up that we aren't aware of ?Are we wrong ? Do the men at the top not plan on spending that ? Have we been strung along yet again by Mr Murray ? Have promises been made and broken ?Over to you...

THEFISH 0 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 We should have used the 7 million to sign Craig Gordon (excellent long term investment) and someone else instead of trying to sign donkeys like McCulloch etc :pipegreen: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy 68 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 I forgot to add that this is not counting the money we recieve from players leaving, such as Svensson and possibly Buffel and Sionko. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR 1,480 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Truth is we have no idea what we have to spend - we can only speculate.Im hoping for some good news on the signing front over the next 2 weeks before the July 25 CL deadline - then perhaps even some more after that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

docspiderman 1,178 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 We must have zillions to spend if we are really prepared to pay £1.8 million for Whittaker and £2.5 million for McCulloch,as well as throwing away wages to Carroll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastcoastbear 122 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Still can't believe we're pursuing McCulloch, espcially at the price mentioned. Fuckin ludicrous. At best, he could be a squad player, nothing more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadaready 9,437 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I am really skeptical about assuming anything with regards to money. It just seems like a dark hallway we are walking down hoping to see some players jump into. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvager 498 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Money will be spent - I'm sure and I believe there will be a SURPRISE in store in a player no-one yet knows about.Just a haunch on my part Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1mgg 3,766 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 We dont want walter going out and buying players just for the sake of it like what happened a few seasons back when we brought in capucho and co.Really hope we dont sign McCulloch though.

FlippinEck 3,680 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 craig gordon would be an excellent signing, one who which would be well worth breaking the bank for, big fan of his (despite the timewasting antics) and would love to see him go to us or england (rather than celtic) but at the price hearts are ... demanding, we probably couldnt afford him. he is a great keeper though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
