Newcastle could spend £15M in ths Summer

Newcastle United boss Sir Bobby Robson had claimed that FIFTEEN MILLION POUNDS could be spent in the summer.

"If we get in the Champions League it gives us a bit more financial clout to go out and do it; it helps to get the players in," said Robson. "The ambition of this club is to continually progress. We are looking at the situation and saying: 'Do we need to be better?'

"You've got to have a balancing act, take a risk, and the chairman's equal to that.

"He wants success and if he can bring a player in he'll do it.

"That might be through wheeling and dealing or by saying we can squeeze another £6 million this summer - or another £15 million because we're in the Champions League.

"But we will be wheeling and dealing, that always happens."
