I don't think there is any issue with anyone saying we can't do this and we can't do that. The key thing for us to consider is business now versus business in the summer. "It's value for money now, value for money in the summer, and signing the right player. If you sign the wrong player now you are carrying that for a three, four or five year contract. There is a lot to discuss and a lot to consider for our short-term needs and long-term decisions for the football club."
