"You have to analyse in a positive way to reinvest this money in our squad to try to be stronger," he said. "At Southampton it is impossible to bring in players for £80million or £50million."But maybe for us it can mean a couple of good players. Maybe we can change one player for two or three players with this money."We are talking about the couple of targets that we've got. I would like to bring in a couple of players minimum and we have to work for this."</blockquote>
