100m isn't massive in today's market i predict that west ham will out spend us!

So? Newcastle spent 80 mill in Jan and look where that got them. Just because there is a reported £100 mill + doesn't mean we have to spend it. From what I've heard, most of WH's budget will go towards signing a top striker anyway.

Good reply Hugo . . . Spending copious amounts of money on so called 'marquee signings' is something kids in the playground boast about!
I'm of the opinion that RK would be looking for relevant quality to enhance 'his' squad and not overpaid 'prima donnas'

I assume because RK hasn't already blown our £100mil on Jannsen, Hart, Mata, Nani, Strootman and all the other mentioned players, he has his head screwed on and will only buy who we need and when we need them.
The only position we can be certain he needs to strengthen at the moment is GK.
He came to us not because he had £100mil of players he wanted to buy but probably because he knew Southampton would be having another summer (everything must go) sale.

Considering the fact that West Ham have singed 2-3 players already and I believe all of them are on a free shows that if they do out spend is it will be down to a big signing or two from them or small purchases from ourselves.
Neither seem too likely considering the players we are being linked with and the prices being quoted.
I have to say though if we are stupid enough to splash £40M on Hart then I doubt we will be outspent ;)
