Kinnear presses on with plans
Newcastle United, 10:25, December 29, 2008 ,
Newcastle boss Joe Kinnear has already started his bid to strengthen the squad but does not know how much cash is available.
The Magpies are on the look-out for reinforcements for the second half of the season and Kinnear is seeking talks with owner Mike Ashley to clarify how much he can shell out.
Ashley has recently abandoned his plan to sell up which Kinnear has hailed as a "positive move" for the club.
He added: "He [Ashley] wants to look forward and what we are going to do now is sit down and see where we can strengthen the side and see what sort of money is available.
"That hasn't been made quite clear yet, but there will be money available, for sure."
Kinnear added: "We have suggested players to Mike that I would like and now it's really wait and see what price they are.
"Dennis Wise and the rest of the people are finding out just what the prices are."
