Wow, Madrid are actually taking their stage down!

If Levy knew they needed to take it down for the game, he is a funny dude.

Sky Sports Sources: Code for mate down the pub told me.

That Gary Cotterill from sky was saying the other day, they were leaving the stage up for today's game and that there are notices all over telling supporters they couldnt use those entrances and areas. The plot thickens COYS

It'll be after the NLD with a transfer tomorrow, Coentrao will decide to join us and his agreed value (fee will be undiscloded and we won't have to pay anything) plus the Bale fee will total 99m EUR.

Ronaldo's ego temains intact as the worlds most expensive player as the Bale deal and the Coentrao deal will be announced as two separate deals.

There is no way the Bale fee has suddenly sunk without a reason, Ronaldo is the reason, so the fee and payment structure has had to be renegotiated to accommodate his ego.

It all seems pretty obvious.

We could announce Coentrao today and Bale tomorrow.

Real Madrid signing Gareth Bale will take their squad to 27 players, they are only allowed 25.

Well, KaKa's off and if we get Coentrao...

SSN: Gareth Bale will be announced today.
He's probably starting then.

So, clutching at the slipperiest of straws here, but if that is correct (and it does make sense) what happens if Coentrao rejects us?

Madrid are suddenly light on the fee and either must stump up a world record fee and piss off CR or pull the plug?

Some of them are under 21 and don't need to be named in the squad.

If it keeps on tappin', Levy's goin' to break,
When Mr. Levy Breaks Madrid'll have no stage to stay.

Mean old Levy taught them to weep and moan,
Got what it takes to make a Madridista leave his home,
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.

Dig the zep reference.

But, that sig soldado and capoue!

 

[Kirito]

Sky really putting their neck on the line saying it will be announced either today or tomorrow but nothing is signed so it might not happen at all.

Excellent reporting from SSN as usual

I think it has already been agreed. Rejection isn't an issue.

If...If...IF DL has played RM all along and GB is his 'rabbit out the hat' and he goes further than just staying but signs an extension.

Then I will change my name, by deed poll, to Mr Levy's Bitch.

 

[jezz]

yep signed today, then tomorrow, then january, theres been a slight hitch in negotiations.
been happening all summer.
But i glad that dumb stage has been taken down, yes RM you look stupid.
RM staff and players speaking openly about GB, selling shirts and erecting stands when GB has not signed.
UEFA where the fcuk are you?
ITK says big announcement on Monday, RM fcuk off, come back next summer and do it properly.

Perhaps we are selling him and Real Madrid are going to loan him back to us for a season!
