Echo states club being quoted £8m for N'Zogbia and quotes Bruce saying he can't afford him.

After raking in 15m in player sales I'd hope thats a bluff, or maybe he's playing politics with the board to try and secure as much of the Jones money as he can.

If the Cana sale was truly unplanned then surely that is all bonus spending money?

Trying to get the price down or maybe just doesn't agree with the valuation.

I'm surprised he wasn't expecting £8mill for him, they paid £6mill for him and he's a better player since

Not surprising since Bruce doesn't actually buy the players

He's just haggling man. Have you not seen Life of Brian?

id rather we signed a few 1m pound players that became worth 10-20m a la palacios & valencia

Just playing the same game as he did with Cattermole and Figueroa....IF we are serious about signing him then i'd expect it to be done right at the end of the transfer window. Just hope we don't end up leaving it so late that we get stung like we did with Figroll

At the end of the day, short decides how much Bruce can spend.
If he wont sanction the spend what is Bruce to do.
