Rafa Given £30million For Summer Shopping


It has been reported that Rafael Benitez has been given £30million plus player sales for a mini rebuilding programme.

The Daily Star Sunday said the Spaniard has already given Rick Parry his summer shopping-list and are looking to bring in players sooner rather than later in a bid to get a head-start on our rivals.

“We will not be waiting until August to sign players. I think we will do things well before. Perhaps you will see some evidence in a few weeks.” said Benitez.

“It will help me if the signings of new players are done early. It needs to be as soon as possible really, because then you know the situation and you can control the pre-season.

“Rick knows the necessity of early deals. Our conservation the other day was very positive.

“We are trying to fix the targets and progress. He knows that we want to sign the players right now.

“We aren’t working on signing new players in June or July - but to sign them in May if that is possible.” he added.
