I thought we had signed Danijel Pranjic and were about to sign Alvaro Negredo. Both seem like 2nd choice buys though. Silva would be a great signing, then Riera would probably want out (which is unfair on him because he has played well). Always liked Valenica left wingers; Vicente, and now they have David Silva and Juan Manuel Mata.. The later meaning Silva could be expendable.
We have to wait on Negredo as Real have a buy-back clause that doesn't expire until June. He looks pretty useful, been banging them in for Almeria which is impressive. Could get him for around 4M which would be a bargain.
Hadn't heard the Pranjic rumour.
Benitez has 20M + whatever he can raise from selling players. That might include the cash from selling Keane and does include cash from Jack Hobbs and Paul Anderson. Will include cash from Voronin.
So who else does he get rid of?
Babel? Itandje for sure. Degen? Plessis?
