The quote above and the 'there will be some players moving on' are the only two concerning quotes for me and my 'being let down too many times by our club' red light started flashing..
'We'll be making some smart moves' - (Could interpret) - bringing in loan signings, grabbing a few 'cheap' has beens via free transfers or replacing old with young in terms of using our youngsters for a while.
'There will be some players moving on' - (Could interpret) - with not just some of the deadwood being sold, could we also cash in on a couple of our assets (Bent, Gabby). this would enable us to have that money to spend that PF spoke about.
Ever the negative I know.
Overall though, i am delighted that we have got Lambert and we are once again in high spirits. I am looking forward to the summer now, just to see ij which direction our club is heading.
Couldnt smart moves be construed as we sell Hutton who is on 40k a week and get in Naughton on loan with a view to a permanent deal whos on 15-25k a week. The same could be said for Dunne whos on pretty much 55k a week if we could ship him out get in two centre backs on 30k. Can you imagine if we shipped out the entire back 4 getting 200k a week off the wage bill give or take 10k and brought in younger, hungrier players saving about 80k a week in the process.
