Lawell is a smart guy and our finances are sitting at a very good position at the moment there is no point in ruining that.
We made the mistake with gravesen last time. I keep hearing his wages are different all the time. I initially thought he was on the 30k a week but from what I hear its actually 40k. If you combine that with bobo's thats almost 70k. If we can offload both players then I can see us bringing in 3 more players but if not. I think it will be loan signings for us.
Dont forget we have the players already to win the SPL but we all want to continue in the Champs League. Personally if we can continue to get to the last 16 every year then I will be delighted with that

In regards to the Tamas deal. I was reading an article with one of Tamas' agents on a websites a week or so back, and he was saying that Tamas was more than happy to accept the £16k a week wages Celtic were prepared to offer against his wishes for Tamas to hold out for £20k. He said the stumbling block was actually the fee between Celtic and Auxerre which is holding the transfer back.
