If we have a net spend much above £10m this summer I will be happily surprised. I obstacles that MON has encountered so far seem to stem around the players he wants 'not being available' - I really can't see this changing.
As someone else have said - if MON has a large transfer pot - why is signing the likes of Routledge, Knight & Harewood ? - I reckon it will be a usual villa summer one sizeable signing, a couple of £4m guys - then some overseas unknowns for a further £1m.
