How much have Bluebirds got to spend?

26/08/16

Paul Trollope was asked whether there was money available to spend?

We are working within a structure, we are working hard with what we have got. If you want to talk exact finances you would need to speak to the club.

We know where we are, there is scope to strengthen and things will become clearer as the days go by to the window.

It is an opportunity, we know where we need to strengthen, I am confident business will be done to make us better and once September 1 comes there will be a relief that everyone know what we are working with.

There is no emergency loan window so hopefully we can do the business and maximise what we have got.





Paul Trollope on possible new signings


Paul Trollope was asked how many signings he wanted and when the business would be done.

We want a few in. I am not going to put a number on it as I know what happens.

There are obvious positions, we want a replacement for Simon Moore and for Fabio and there is one another area we are pushing and keen to strengthen.

We are working hard and trying to get the right ones to make us better and help us evolve as we want to.

Recruitment so far shows where we want to go and what we are trying to build and hopefully the ones who come in will be the same.

Things are likely to be done over the next few days, maybe one looking into next week.

It depends on the timing of everything but we are looking to do some business.

Knowing Tan and knowing our current situation he will want his monies worth!! I cant see him taking any chances which could be a good thing. We dont want another expensive prima donna sat in the development team! :?

Well, I've heard that the bid for Lafferty has been rejected, as they want £1.5m and we are not willing to pay it. City dont want to loan because of the fee. I really can't see Mr Tan spending more than £1m on any player

Unfortunately in life you tend to get what you pay for! Sure you can land a great deal but that is particularly difficult in football. :cry:

Good and to be honest £1m is well over the odds for Lafferty although I'd take a swap with Le Layabout

He really does not score very often so why are we interested at any price
