Don't really remember. Nobody knows for sure though, but that is the speculation number. Wouldn't be surprised if he spent over that though. As long as he feels he is making good deals, I think the owners will oblige. Still, the Sigurdsson saga led me to believe he is acting on a tight budget.

I'm not sure how I feel about that...judging by his comments after Gylfi signed with Spurs, he may have been more pissed that he felt he had given Sigurdsson a chance in England to show what he could do and was willing to bring him to a top club to start and Sigurdsson took the money and ran. IMO it might have been more of a pride thing than a money issue. And the only way I really see us spending more that 30 mil is if we sell off Carroll (or someone else).

70k a week is fricking ludicrous for a player like Gylfi. I would have told him to frick off too.

Sigurdsson was about not getting stuck with an untransferable player(due to wages) if he didn't work out like we are with Cole and Aqua, than a tight budget.
