I don’t normally look at other teams but they seem to be blowing us out of the water at the moment when it comes to budgets and they have gone in the opposite direction from us. They have made several hefty signings and are looking to Maher further hefty signings. SSN reporting that they are looking at both Tom Ince and Matt Richie and they have also tabled a 13m bid for ex Spurs centre back Chiriches from Napoli. Add on top of that the signing of Nigerian international Etebo for over 6m, Keeper Federico from Bournemouth, Benik Afobe for over 12m and they have retained Joe Allen on a long term deal.
The only major outgoing is Shaquiri for 13m.
They are clearly splashing the cash for an instant return. As per the above mentioned thread I hope the club give NW money to bring in a couple of more quality proven players.
