Toon Still Owe Inter Milan £6m For Martins!

Last updated : 24 June 2008 By Footy Mad - Editor
The Magpies agreed to buy Martins from the Italian giants on the never-never ... and according to our souces in St James' Park ... £6m of the £10m transfer has yet to be paid.

Was that the reason why Ashley went over Kevin Keegan's head and offered the striker to the Scousers? To pay off the debt?

And if we are THAT much in debt ... how much does KK have to spend this summer.

Although a couple of kids have been added to the playing staff - none that KK sanctioned - the manager has not been allowed to buy ONE single player since his appointment in the New Year.

The January transfer window came and went ... with Ashley keeping the lid on the biscuit tin ... and to date we still await our first incoming transfer before the new season.
