Martin Jol: 'Fulham can't pay big fees'

Fulham manager Martin Jol has admitted that he will not be able to pay big money for any players in the transfer window.

Jol has brought in a number of loans and low-price players in the window, many of whom the Dutchman believes represent good business.

"Sometimes you have to be creative and take them when the situation is bad," Sky Sports News quotes Jol as saying.

"We won't pay big transfer fees and we have a certain amount in our budget to spend. Sometimes you have to take a gamble.

"At Tottenham I sold Dimitar Berbatov for £30m and took him back for peanuts. Adel Taarabt was going to Paris Saint-Germain a year ago for a lot of money and now we've picked him. That's what I try to do."

Fulham recently wrapped up the loan signing of Darren Bent from Aston Villa.
