To be honest, that's just the same as it has been the past 2 or 3 weeks. Its just closer to the transfer so its being stirred up more.

The only problem with the transfer(well, apart from losing our best player :dopey:) is that Madrid will probably take 5 years to pay the 108 million, Spurs still don't have the money from Modric!

Whatever, they've made good signings, could do with signing another player that isn't a midfielder or winger though, we could make an 11 out of them alone!
 
I hadn't seen much about Bale for a few weeks, so I thought it was new.:(

Don't they still have to pay around £20 million of the Modric fee? The fact that they're paying over £100 million while apparently over £500 million in debt is ridiculous.
 
Well it kind of is new, in the fact its been reported by another paper, but by the looks of things, it will still drag out for a while even if it's actually agreed between the two clubs.

Something like 20 million still to pay on Modric as well yeah, but Madrid are rediculous with their spending yeah, whatever about Monaco and Man City, at least they can afford it.

Madrid also haven't realised that they will be forcing Isco out of the starting 11. Can't remember the other player they bought but I'm pretty sure he's an Attacking Midfield too. The main question is, what are they and Monaco doing that's stopping them from hitting the Financial Fair Play rulings, unless they're going to sell Ronaldo.

By the way, a lot of reports speculating that Ronaldo going to United and Rooney going to Chelsea depend on Bale. Interesting theories, can't see Rooney at Chelsea though.

Wikipedia
Introduced amid concern at the heavy spending of a number of professional clubs across Europe, it was hoped that the regulations would eventually lead to a more ‘level playing field’ by preventing clubs with very wealthy owners who make substantial cash gifts to their club from gaining an unfair advantage over other clubs who are run on a more sustainable business model, and in so doing encourage lower levels of spending. The FFP Regulations provide for sanctions to be taken against clubs who do not spend within a set budgetary framework over several seasons.

I think that's the loophole. If the money isn't from the club itself, then it seems like it avoids FFP regulations.

And there's this too.
Wikipedia
Other commentators pointed to actual and possible loopholes in the legislation itself; for example, up until the end of the 2014–15 season, clubs will be allowed to exclude from the FFP calculation the wages of players signed before June 2010 as long as they can show an improved trend in their accounts. There is also the potential for legal action to overturn the legislation and for larger clubs to artificially raise their income from massive sponsorship deals or stadium naming rights via companies with a vested interest in the club’s success, or from the sales of "overseas rights" to consortiums without clearly identified investors.


There are claims that this has already started in the case of Manchester City, where four of the club's eight main sponsors - Etihad Airways, Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority, telecoms giant Etisalat and Aabar, a global investment company dealing in oil are ultimately owned by the United Arab Emirates government, of which Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour is one of the Deputy Prime Ministers

Aand Lamela is a Spur... Roma sold him to Tottenham for about 40 million.

Which makes me wonder.... Who is going to be Roma's stricker now???? :confused: Borriello? Destro? I mean, Totti can't do everything...
 
Tottenham do realise that even if you can buy 5 players with the money from Bale that you can still only have 11 on the pitch at once, right?
 
Love this game of fantasy football Tottenham are playing :lol: Lamela, Chiriches and maybe Eriksen to come!

Also Eto'o has signed a one-year deal at Chelsea, so they'll probably have another crack at Rooney next year..

I really wanted Rooney to be a Blue... what a shame... :guilty:
 
Ozil won't leave, he's already said this and to be honest, Isco won't keep him out of the team.

The only german midfielder Arsenal could realistically get is Sami Khedira and, well, he's awful.

That being said its probably Ozil that they're after.
 
Bale agreed personal terms with Madrid and Tottenham have signed Lamela and Chiriches both today..
 
Milan Sold Kevin Prince Boateng to Schalke 04 and bought Alessandro Matri from Juventus...

I mean... WTF Milan!?!?! KP wasyour best player...

Matri is ok, he'll provide some depth in the stricker position, and can be a great opportunity to relaunch his career...

Milan have money issues don't they? That is probably why, their team is a shadow of what it once was these days.

He played for AC Milan in the CL qualifier as well, cup tied...
Makes little sense.
My guess is that AC are going for Kaka and needed the money for his transfer / salary.
Keisuke Honda is also being mentioned as a replacement.

He's not cup tied for some reason, I don't know why though.

Turns out it's Draxler,40 millions seems a bit too much but it's something.
 
So Spurs have done the deal for Eriksen, Lamela and Vlad Chiriches. In total 7 new players at a cost of £105m! I am worried they have changed too much though, it may take a while for all these new players to adapt their styles, gel with new team mates, settle in England etc. Fingers crossed it doesn't take too long, if it happens at all.
 
Various sources are claiming Liverpool have splashed a combined 25 million pounds on 20 year-old Sporting defender Tiago Ilori and 23 year-old defender Mamadou Sakho from PSG. They are apparently due in for medical tomorrow(31st).

If that's the case, then it wasn't a bad move, it was an horrendous one, they almost gave away KP for free... Schalke bought him for about 11 million...

If Bale is worth 100million then KP is worth about 20 big ones... AT LEAST...
