Chesterfield manager Dean Saunders thinks the sale of Sam Clucas will allow him to target better players in the transfer market.
The Spireites have sold the versatile left-sided player to Sky Bet Championship side Hull for a club-record fee thought to be in the region of £1.3million.
Although disappointed to lose the 24-year-old, Saunders believes the deal represents good business for Chesterfield.
"For a club like ours we cannot turn this down, we have to remember where we are," said the Welshman.
"I am very disappointed to have lost him as he is probably one of our best players, but he is going to a big club who were in the Premier League last year so good luck to him.
"We've got a big transfer fee for a League 1 player, there are not many League 1 clubs who get a transfer fee like that.
"We can't stand in the way of anybody. I expected this sort of thing could happen but having paid £100,000 a year ago, it's very good business for a League 1 club.
"I will have some money to reinvest into the squad. I've been shopping in Lidl up to now, but now I'm going to be shopping at Marks & Spencer.
"No doubt we will sign two or three good players, who can make a difference to us. They are going to have to be decent players to get into our team.
"I was prepared for something like this and I have still got my guard up. The players did well last season and there are still vultures out there.
"I can now sign a different type of player. I can assure the supporters that the players we bring in will be good."
