Would have thought it's almost certain Bale will be going, given Spurs have spent half of the money they would have got for him already. If he does stay, then they've found some spare cash laying around somewhere.
#I just want to say 2 things. 1. bale? spurs for how long have balanced the books each year on transfers. they are near 50mil in the red this summer so i reckon if they sell bale they would buy only one more. 2. russia = tax free haven of dodgers and lawlessness. If willian is on 2.5mil thats AFTER any tax. so think on... anyone getting him will pay him 100k per week in england at least to get close.

Potential quartet: Willian, Coutinho, Sturridge, Suarez. Barrett made some interesting comments last night how LFC are able to agree terms with the player directly before they make a formal bid to the club. This is because Anzhi have transfer listed their entire team. He also goes onto say that Willian would 'jump at the chance to play for LFC'. Siqueira - we bid £5m which was rejected as Granada want £12m.
It should be interesting to see what happens next. the good thing now is we are 2.5 weeks away from deadline day so if there is anything real it has to materialize quickly. siqueira is not happening period. just won't. the price difference is too high.
Would be amazing if true - get it all agreed with player and agent, pass Anzhi their £30m (don't **** about with £20-25 and give other clubs the chance once its in the media as REJECTED) and BOOM - Willian signs. Please let this one happen FFS!
Rodgers just on sky won't answer anymore questions on suarez and says no signings immenient .get the finger out!
If we were close to signings or we had marquee signings lined up, would he really say we are close to signing so and so, surely he wouldn't want anyone to know.
He did resist, one of the journo's was trying to ask about Suarez right after BR said he isn't going to talk about him and BR dismissed the question.
When was this? Thought the press conference was at 2pm or has he had a 'Arry moment at his car window?
He forgot to add "in this transfer window" As days pass I am more and more convinced that this is it. I think he thinks he can talk Suarez round and if so then he is happy with squad. Trouble is its not quite a top 4 squad we are still missing a couple of players that can make a difference. It would also mean we have spent zero ..in fact I think we are about £4 million in credit. Not the sort of ambition of a club trying to get back into Europe.
