POTL in response to gilzeantheking's info...
4 bids of 95m quid plus contracts.
LOL

Affellay would just be a loan wouldn't it? Would we still need to sell before we brought someone in on loan?
So Harry has gone from needing to sell deadwood to raise some funds before buying, to sticking £95m worth of bids in? I somehow think not. I could understand if Modric was being sold and they knew how much they were receiving for him and therefore making enquiries, but nah, not believing it
Oh I am not suggesting with my message that we won't or can't, I would just be surprised if we splashed 95Million on players.
I could easily believe that we would smash our transfer record though on a player or two, 16.5M (or whatever it actually is) is a pretty pithy amount in todays market, so anyone who doesn't believe we will go over that is not being realistic.
To get to the top you have to spend big.
R.
3 players at exactly the same amount of £20m? That's very un-Levy like. Not to mention over doubling our record transfer fee.
I can't see us even breaking our record fee let alone 4 times in one window :lol:
Vucinic is much more a Levy type of deal. Negotiating something around the £15m mark but probably includes add ons. Maybe try and get Adebayor on loan with a view to buy. We could get Diarra on the cheap too and a cheap replacement for Bassong if he goes, but that would be less than £10m I would expect.
All in all I think we'll spend about £30-£35m max this window. Plus we'll make at least half that back in sales. We have a new Stadium to plan for which is why we've cut back on the spending since Harry arrived. We're not going crazy in this window.
Strange that Enrique would say it's an operation rather than a calf strain or something more inoccuous.
If we got that many strikers it would surely mean the end for pretty much all of our current crop.
So the latest ITK, suggesting bayern have now come in for him? If so then this really sums us up, dilly dallying then getting caught behind.
Harry Hotspur seems to think we're in talks with Real Madrid over an unnamed player, citing a footie journo on Twitter as his source :roll:
Which was what exactly?

I think the overriding message that we need to take away from today is...
CALM THE FUCK DOWN EVERYBODY.
That is all.
