Newcastle United have completed the signing of Tottenham Hotspur's Stephen Carr. The Republic of Ireland right-back has signed a four-year deal.
The 27-year-old cost Sir Bobby just £2m.
Speaking to Sky Sports News, Carr said:
"I am very excited about joining Newcastle"
At the beginning of the summer we 'heard' that we would have £8m to spend on players,
AND
£3.6m - Milner
£2.5m - Butt
£2m - Carr
FREE - Kluivert
FREE - N'Zogbia (excluding compensation)
Total of £8.1m - so, it was true, and I think we've done pretty well for it (especially as you think Birmingham paid £6.5m for Heskey)
