Peter Taylor is rumoured to want at least three new players to bolster his squad for next season but there is a dispute on how much he will have to spend, if any at all!

The normally reliable footballtransfers.co.uk reports that Taylor has already emptied the bank account, a report echoed among the halls of Fleet Street. Although a couple of sources, including TeamTalk believe that the figure could be closer to £7million.

Taylor revealed that chairman John Elsom is set to back him with any purchases that he wishes to make and that he hopes the rest of the board will follow suit, as they have done in the past, "We have already identified the areas in which I feel we need to strengthen the squad. John Elsom is a very supportive chairman and I think the board as a whole have been very supportive as well.

"They have never turned me down and have allowed me to sign the players I wanted. So I will be looking to sign two or three players in the summer, and will also have my experienced players fit and available again. I am genuinely confident about our prospects."

Possible choices for Taylor could be relegated Coventry's John Hartson Aston Villa's Dion Dublin and Julian Joachim have also been linked along with Man Utd's Jonathan Greening and a whole host of lower league players from various teams.
