Transfer Rumours The 2015 Summer Transfer Window Thread

PR bid. Aren't many players for whom one can bid nine figures safe in the knowledge it'll get turned down, but Bale is one of them. That's a mere 72.5m GBP!

 

The last few weeks have made a lot of people look silly, so Ed Woodward needs to reassert himself at the top of the rankings.

 

Tottenham have had a bid for Axel Witsel turned down according to Tancredi P.

 

Did they bid £5, a packet of quavers, a pot noodle and a used condom?

 

€26m apparently. I think the '.' button stopped working on Levy's computer.

 

Ah, okay! So they bid:

£5, a packet of quavers, a pot noodle and a used condom up front

£1M after 2 years
£25M when Papua New Guinea win the World Cup.

 

Do you mean possibly making a premier league of 10 clubs all of whom play each other twice home and away each season a bit like the old Scottish PL?

 

Man Utd make me laugh.

 

The ideal would be where each club plays on a totally level footing, and that FFP actually meant what it seemed to mean when it was first mooted.

In my earlier post I was referring to the 20 clubs of the PL.

 

Are they actually trying to assemble the full Belgian squad?
They were after Miralles earlier in the window too.

 

Utd badly need 2 strikers and at least one cb.

 

Well let's hope they don't get them, eh.?

I realise I'm not the one to be answering your post because, tbh, I couldn't give a monkey's **** what ManU need.

 

Sounds like a rule Ecclestone would like. You cannot do this, You cannot do that...............but you can spend as much as you want working out how to still dominate within the rules

 

Not really. Perhaps I didn't try to explain myself properly, or perhaps you didn't want to understand. American football, for example, operates under a fairly similar set of rules. It's quite odd that a country which is the bedrock of capitalism should have a sport which has values that are almost socialistic. But then, in seasonal team sport, should it be right that the scales are weighed in favour of certain clubs right from the off.? When you think about it, it's quite odd.

 

The advantage for the American sports is that they're not competing in a global market. So they're able to cap salaries without concerns of losing the best talents.

 

West Ham signing Jelavic? That's not a good signing. I wonder how much that will be.

 

Sky talking about Bale coming back. Stuart Pearce says it would be great if he came back to any of the big 4 and the quickly added, "to any of the big 5"

He's left the door open for us there.

 

Sky: Borini to Sunderland for £8 mill (+£2 mill in add ons).

 

Would never give him a second chance after a snub like he gave them!
