'And he won't take a single penny of this £35m either - all the money will go to the club and we are already working on identifying transfer targets for the summer.' It's a good job the comment above by Llambias says money will go to the 'club' and not 'transfers' as there is obviously not going to be any 'major' big money signings, which considering £40 million has been recouped on Nolan and Carrol, and a new season is about to start is bad news for Newcastle. I recollect at the time of the Carrol transfer some people were actually talking about big money signings in excess of 10 million - well what a joke.
"it will go to the club" is Llambias speak for "it'll go to the club, so it can start to pay off the £100m Ashley has loaned it" I can't believe people were daft enough to think that the club would be reinvesting the Carroll money on players... it was never going to happen.
Aye and the young cheap french players they're sigining, if any of them turn up to be decent prospects, whats the odds they will soon be sold for higher prices - the clubs being run as a market, as it still remains an attractive big club to be a part of
