We still have one of the lowest cost squads in the league with most of it spread out over several years hence, and we've spent nothing like what we did last year. There are plenty of beans in the tin still for a Sangare or Adams if we can persuade them.
With Paqueta, Rice and that Italian striker going they're likely to have about £180m+ to spend. Even after Ward-Prowse and some others they can still afford to take Brennan and have him as a Bowen understudy for a year or two.
Sure, West Hm could afford it, but why would Brennan want to go there on that basis? To my mind, “latest rumour” = “a few webmongs have worked out that West Ham have money to spend”
Wetshams: What we really need is someone the weight of a crisp packet, who can run like the wind, is petrified of heading the ball, and can sit on the bench as an understudy for a year - we are looking to pay £50million.
