Interesting comments re Dempsey and AVB here....provides interesting context on the way transfer out goings and plans for the season don't always go hand in hand

We are definitely spending the Bale money but I think we are just doing it a season early. Invest hard now and then we should be set up for the next few seasons. Still don't expect Bale to go this summer.

Lets have one big push at the league whilst we have Bale.

If FFP comes in hard next season, then we have to spend big now, before it does.

However, if we then sell Bale next summer, will we be able to spend big again - because go the 100 million income? Or, have I totally got the wrong end of the stick? And, if so, is it rammed up my arse!

I've just sent the misses down to make tea because I've got work to do! She would kill me if she knew the truth. :)
Love this! I move in with my misses in 5 weeks I need to know all the tricks in time for January ITK window :)

Firstly Bale.....

We are exactly in a Modric situation now with him! So he could stay now but my money is on him leaving!

As alluded to, Scotty P has gone and Capoooey is done and will be announced tomorrow I'd imagine.

Danny boy trying to sell everyone else!! (that is called exaggeration to all the posters that take everything so literally)

SI.com: Back in 2004, you were an MLS rookie making $40,625 a year, about one-twelfth that of another rookie, Freddy Adu, who was the league's highest-paid player. Now you're making 169 times what you made as a rookie, and you are MLS's highest-paid player. When you hear all that, what does it make you think?

Dempsey: It makes me think soccer is growing in this country

How the f*ck does he get to that conclusion?

Hope you mean the Modric situation where he stayed and not last summer (as that was bad antics)?

Thanks JJ. Any truth in deals for the Roma pair? cannot see it myself as it will take us back the best part of 50m, especially now if Bale is staying. Believe Atsu will end up with us though.
