Its true that we need to get rid of some shite, but I still think hes talking bollox.
Why were we bidding for the likes of Clichy and Jones earlier in the transfer window if we needed to get rid of players first?

Cos then we'd have held off on signing Doni, or Downing, or Henderson until we'd have reduced the wage bill. Simple concept really.
We started off with a wage bill that was too high, & needed to reduce it, but bring in new faces. So the owners let Kenny go for a few players whilst trying to shift some. We've gotten rid of 2, but 6 in.
Now the owners have said we need to shift a few more players so we don't run the risk of being stuck with a wage bill that's still to high. Once we've done that we can buy a couple more.

You're probably right.
