Belgian press claiming that Barca have bid 27M for Vertonghen, you can quickly go off those Catalans. We could always demand Messi as part payment, that should make them run a mile.

I very much doubt that story, in fact I'm almost 99% sure it's not true. It's just people going "Hey Barca need a CB who are the best CBs at "lesser" clubs?"

He has pace though and thats what our Defenders need,playing a high line,does Richards have that pace

Pace is good, but just as important, maybe more so in some cases, are discipline, organisation, awareness, etc.

We can get away with a lot, because Hugo is so brilliant, mostly, at reading the game and reacting properly, but we did get caught out at times.

You can have all the pace in the world, but when you play a suicide ball like Kyle did at Pool, it can turn a game, and massively affect your club's season, as happened at Anfield.

Arsenal used to play the 'high line', admittedly in a different world tactically. Was Tony Adam fast, I don't recall it, but he was a brilliant defender.

I can't remember who said it, but I like the theory that (if the money isn't being spent against Bale being sold this year), it's being spent against either Bale getting sold next year, or CL money, because we're likely to have one or the other. And if we spend it this year, it's more likely to be the latter and not the former.

Gosh....some people do listen to me! <hug>
 
We've had a new bumper kit deal injection of cash, and no doubt BT have had to give us something for using Bale in a Spurs shirt so far, enough there to buy one of the cheaper players plus Bentleys wages finally off the bill, so thats one self funded.

You think Spurs get money for that? I'd have thought that the deal with the EPL allows them to use any team's images as part of the deal. Would be interested to learn if that's wrong.
 
The Mirror seem to think that we've denied that there's been a bid for Vertonghen and other media believe that Luiz may put in a transfer request on Monday.
The same paper also thinks that we've made a £15m bid for Pjanic.
Huddlestone's being linked with a £5m move to either Hull or Sunderland.
Utd are after Modric, according to the Guardian.

Co image rights was my thinking. Its a murky world that advertising malarky thats for sure. Without it, there's still 10m this year from UA, and HP have renewed, just saying we've had some commercial cash in of late and we've also underspent in previous windows.
 
I'm still anxious re Capoue, and keep checking News Now for the 'official signing' to be announced.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Soldado and Paulinho today, and hope we can win and stay injury-free.

+1.
Missus is out so this match gets my undivided attention. Lovely.
 
In the 21st minute today, there will be applause for Espanyol's Daniel Jarque, four years since he passed away.
 
I believe that Damiao would have been done long ago if Internacional's demands had not have been so unreasonable. Let's face it, yes he's a Brazil international, but not a regular starter. If we paid £17mil or whatever it was for Paulinho, why should we pay £20-25mil for Damiao?

If he was such a bargain, he would have been taken by now. Napoli backed out, reportedly, over the price being asked, also.
