But maximizing resale value comes from a player playing well and being wanted by other clubs to the extent that they will pay more money for him than we have done. There is absolutely no reason why this should inhibit us from gaining CL qualification. In fact it should enhance our chances. Has the purchase of Bale or Lennon or Sandro or Dembele or Lloris or Walker or Vertonghen increased or reduced our chances of gaining CL qualification? Aren't all of them worth more now if we were to sell than we paid for them? Compare and contrast Parker, Adebayor and Gallas, all of whom were bought as the finished article and to improve the squad. Did any of them increase our chances of CL qualification? In my view, No. They were part of the Harry Redknapp/Lawrie McMenemy ethos of buying top players at the end of their careers and stepping back and letting them play.
The idea being touted here seems to be that splashing a fortune on "big-name " players most of whom wouldn't want to play for us until we are in the CL anyway, will somehow ensure regular CL participation.
In my view the Club's task is the same as it always has been: to improve the squad by developing current players and also buying better players than we currently have who have more room to reach their potential. We haven't done badly on that for the last 7 or 8 years in my view.

No guarantee a lot of players joining will hit the ground running or give CL football, for all the names that worked there's plenty more that didn't, Gilberto, Rocha, Atouba, Davenport, Salty, Boutros Boutros, Bentley, the list can go on. If we get a player that has consistently shown that they can score a decent goal tally season after season and that player can give you that edge to get CL and the resulting revenue then re sale value is not a necessary factor. Besides apart from the possibility that some players bought with the view that they may increase in price may do the reverse there's also always a possibility that the player could walk on a free. The most important reason for buying a player has to be what he can do for the team when he's here rather than worrying about what he might do when he's gone

Sorry mate but it just didn't make sense to me! You need to do the "Blue and Yellow" kind of cryptics. Maybe throw in a "good night" as well.

The cobra on The fighting cock forum:

Apparently Valencia gave Soldado's agents permission to look for other clubs weeks ago. Baldini and Spurs have been talking to them for two days now and have agreed players terms. It is now between Spurs and Valencia to work out final deal.

Is this still pending going in the RO section?

Previously from the Cobra via Sibs on TFC:

Ok, this is Sibs posting this having had a DM on twitter a couple of days ago ... Message was sent on Friday

Said that Matthew Colle[co]tt and Baldini were in Spain to meet Valencia about Soldado AND another player.

So far seems legit... Lets see about this 'one other player' then!

FWIW I'm pretty sure the source of this was was Adiepf.

The only other player we have been linked to recently in la liga is that alvaro vadillo fella...no itk on him so far tho
