Looks like Kyle Walker is off then...http://www.express.co.uk/sport/foot...hester-City-Tottenham-transfer-sportgalleries Would be funny if it all unravelled for Spuds over the summer and them playing at Wembley next season too....
Silva has officially left Hull. Expect the rumours to mount up until he eventually goes to Benfica. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40043130
Zaha has signed a new 5 year deal at Palace despite the links with spurs. So smaller clubs can hold on to their best players even when big clubs are involved, they just have to pay them £110k+ a week to do so!
VVD and bertie signed 5 year deals it does the mean they will stay it just means the club get more money if sold
He is obviously brighter than Bertrand who is jumping ship for a "Big Club" despite his previous experience but there again I guess Palace paying £110k pw helps How come a small club like Palace can afford wages at £110k pw (I did see Cabaye is on £120k pw) and yet we can only go to circa £75k pw? Does seem a bit disproportionate don't you think?
Whilst we do err on the side of caution financially, I believe that huge tv deal actually kicks in this summer so this is something we may see gradually at Southampton.
May be more of a sign that we aren't stupid. We can't afford the really top players (unless we buy them in, buff them up and sell on), so why pay a fortune for the next level down....there are more of them and initially at least they will take a lower wage* to get into the EPL and the spotlight. * Lower wage being a relative term.
It's not about what we can afford, it's about the structure we put in place and the way we run our business.
Considering our wage bill is one of the highest outside of the top 6, I would think that we have a lot of players on £80k plus. We could pay 100k a week quite easily, but we obviously have a structure in place.
West Ham announce the signing of Pablo Zabaleta ... How can they do that, when legally, they can't talk to him till 1st June?
Man City all but signed Bernando Silva from Monaco. They are going to be class this season. Also Unai Emery all but gone at PSG
Ah Football... A bright, attacking, dynamic young team have a great season, and they are already getting taken apart. Hopefully they spend all their money wisely. And keep their coach (try to).
