Sheeit. Let's get Chrissy on the horn and put in a cheeky bid. With the Wolfman at his disposal, I'm sure he could help us out with a bit of Antoine. Is Rossi still knackered? Reckon he could do a job. What about Oba? Has he got his 'Freedom Pass' yet?

 

@NUFC_Stats: NUFC have made a €12m offer for #Lille's Florian #Thauvin, RMC believe. #Marseille still in the driving seat (via @RBairner) #nufc

 

Bidding for a player that clearly wants to join Marseille (they've bid the same as us) just smacks of "we tried our best but couldn't get Thauvin over the line". It's utterly pathetic.

 

Expect a last minute bid on monday; very much like the Ruiz and N'Zogbia bids which were wholly unrealistic and will never get anywhere just to make out the club is doing something. All the while that fat little **** David Craig is smiling and fingering himself over his love for Ashley and Pards. Its enough to make one vomit their own pelvic bone out.

 

lol

 

Ive decided that until we sign a player I am not having sex with my wife....

I told her this and now I am living in a hostel. She said **** off!

 

They really have just waited for Marseille to make a decent offer and then matched it, sure in the knowledge that the player wants to stay in France and has been angling for Marseille for ages. I bet MA and Kinnear would crap themselves if Lille decided to reject Marseille and sell to us to avoid Thauvin lining up against them. Actually, no doubt they have the fallback option of claiming Thauvin's agent is demanding too much.

 

Next up we will be in for Bale.
It really is getting pathetic but I'm not affected by it like I used to be.

 

Gareth Bale has agreed personal terms with Real Madrid ahead of his world-record move from Tottenham.

However, the Spanish giants are still in discussions over the fee for the 24-year-old forward, with a bid of £86m already submitted to Spurs.

"While talks in Madrid took some days, this was always a formality," says BBC chief sports correspondent Dan Roan.

"The agreement over personal terms has no bearing on the timing of the actual transfer being announced."

In addition to the world-record offer, which would eclipse the £80m Real paid Manchester United for Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009, the Bernabeu club have also submitted an alternative bid of close to £70m, which would be a one-off payment for the Wales international.

"The conclusion of talks over personal terms is separate from negotiations between Real Madrid and Spurs regarding the amount and structuring of a transfer fee," Roan added.

"All that remains now is for Spurs to formally accept Real Madrid's offer and to agree on simultaneous announcements."

Bale, who joined Spurs in a £10m deal from Southampton in 2007, was named player of the year by both the Professional Footballers' Association and Football Writers last season after scoring 26 goals for the White Hart Lane side.

He has been linked with a move to Real all summer, with Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas saying on Wednesday the transfer "could happen very, very soon".

The north London club have been active in the transfer window themselves, with six international players signed for a total outlay understood to be more than £90m.
