So would most of our supporters I'd say, but the players concerned don't like to drop their wages. They get used to the standard of living they've got and don't like the thought of earning less. Its hard for them!
I don't think it a case of "we need to sell to buy" (it wasn't meant to come across like that). Like you I don't think there's any money issues, more like we'll wait to the summer and go after those targets identified. But yes, if the opportunity arises for the right player we might still go...
The manager and Brands might just be playing things down. But... I just don't see anybody coming in unless we ship players out first (sell). It seems to me we're more likely to let players go out on loan, thus restricting what we can bring in.
