It depends where we are and how we are doing if he gets any funds id have though.

Basically if we are bottom 3 come January?

Tan made that perfectly clear when he agreed to scrap the red kit and return to blue. The majority were in favour of that, so not much point in us complaining now. We got what we wanted and knew what the cost would be. Most of us were happy enough to go along with the plans to make us debt free and the club to eventually be self sufficient. We can't have it all ways. Hopefully there may be a bit of cash to spend, but we know January is not the ideal time to look for players when the prices are over inflated. Like some others on here have said, I think our business was more or less all done in the Summer.

Do you really believe that as Warnock has stated there will be money to buy a striker in January, not a loan, if we are still in it.
Vinny wants the PL and im sure he will spend if he sees right.

Hope you are right. Some on here thought we would spend £40 or £50m in the Summer, but Tan stuck to his word and reigned in the purse strings. I would have thought the best time to have splashed out on a striker was in the Summer. Going to have to pay over the odds for another club's reject in January. With the sort of money likely to be made available, we are not going to get much in January. Unless Tan does a big U turn and has a change of heart, we are not likely to get an exciting addition to the squad during the next transfer window. Tan comes across as someone who sticks to his word, and that's why I can't see much happening. I think his priority is clearing debts, and the less he personally has to sort out the better from his point of view.

Gary Madine proves that point

He certainly does. Not sure what we paid for him in January, but reports suggest maybe £6m. The equivalent player next January would probably cost even more with the extra money now thrown into the PL. I just can't see Tan throwing money around in what is usually a rip off transfer window. The chances are £10m would see us get nothing better than we have already. Like Alan said above, a loan may be an option.
