I'll take that to mean something is looking good! Which, I guess, um, must be good, whatever it's about! Either way... if you're happy... by proxy, so are we!

I am guessing this is a good thing.

But i suck at converting emoji cryptics....
To be fair I think we could send this one to Bletchley Park and they'd come back with confused looks on their faces.

It looks positive though, so yay.

I will just caution - this could be the most expensive transfer in history - not in how much is paid, but in how little will ever be recouped. Its unlikely that we could ever sell Bale on - where would he go? And who would pay for him at 31-32?

So, we have to be prepared to eat the entire transfer fee - and it will still be a big fee. Certainly you would hope that a Bale deal raises the profile of the club - in terms of sponsorship money (and even TV money, we are last among the bog-6 in TV appearances...). But, I am pretty sure this will be the biggest transfer fee paid without being able to recover some/most of it later in a player's career.

Even Real Madrid are looking to recoup their investment...
And Daniel will make sure that is reflected in the fee.:)
