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)
im hoping you mean the Modric 2011 situation and not Modric 2012 situation :censored:

Awesome for the most part.

I'm guessing those rumors about Capoue wanting to talk to Atletico first were a bit misguided, then.

Hmmm, we've Berbatov he folded, with Modric he stuck for a season.

Can you tell the canteen to arrange DL's lunchtime alphabeti spaghetti on toast so it says "keep Bale"?

To clarify, which Modric situation is this?

The "he isn't mentally right to play" situation of 2012? Or the "he is happy to stay for one more year" situation of 2011.

HUGE difference!!

I'd be delighted with a Modric situation. Keep him for a swansong season, finish 4th (or better)! Bid him adios to Madrid next summer. Jurassic Park.

But then the levels of finance involved, the ball is still very much in Madrid's court in coming to the table with a suitable offer and on favourable terms and that seems miles off at this stage.

Parker out is to be expected and with Livermore seemingly out on loan to Hull and Hudd's days numbered, it's nice to see us streamlining the squad and cutting back on the wages.

He did say "good" news in his prior post, that'd lead me to believe 2011. Which also leads me to be happy.

ok, so I went and dusted off the calculator and have been thinking about this Joe Lewis and an injection of money (AKA £50 Mil)

Now BEFORE I get the normal replies of (this isnt how transfers work and you dont know the fee's or wages. I will save you the time.........What I am about to write could be the BIGGEST load of :poop: EVER!! However, I do not have the privilege of knowing any further so am working with what is considered to be fairely accurate figures :cautious: so here goes.......

Firstly sales (going back to Jan 2013)
  1. Player - Transfer fee - Wages
  • Jenas - Free - 40K
  • Bostock - Free - 10K
  • Bentley - Free - 60K
  • Gallas - Free - 60K
  • Caulker - 8mil - 20K
  • Dempsey - 7mil - 60K
Total - 6 Players - 15mil - 250K
£250K x 52 weeks = £13mil + £15mil (from transfers) = £28mil

Potential sales (although the latest livermore ITK buggers this up a little)
  1. Player - Transfer fee - Wages
  • Gomes - 3mil - 50K
  • BAE - 8mil - 60K
  • Parker - 4mil - 70K
  • Hudd - 8mil - 30K
  • Livermore - 5mil - 20K
  • Ade - 8 mil - 120K
  • Defoe - 8mil - 60K
Total - 7 players - 44mil - 410K
£410K x 52 = £21.32mil + £44mil (from potential transfers) = £65.32mil (for the purpose of ease this will be £65mil)

£65mil + £28mil = £93mil

Players already brought in (from Jan 2013)
  1. Player - Transfer fee - Wages
  • Holtby - 2mil - 40K
  • Paulinho - 17mil - 50K
  • Chadli - 7mil - 40K
  • Saldado - 26mil - 60K
Total - 4 players - 52mil - 190K
£190K x 52 = £9.88mil + £52mil (from transfer fee's) = £61.88mil ( for the purpose of ease this will be £62mil)

Potential Players in based on ITK and suspected wages (that have been mentioned in the respective player threads)
  1. Player - Transfer fee - Wages
  • Capoue - 8mil - 40K
  • Coentrao - 12mil - 80K
  • Alderwereld/chiriches - 7mil - 40K
  • Eriksen - 8mil - 50K
  • Willian - 25mil - 80K
  • Lamela - 30mil - 80K
Total - 6 players - 90mil - 370K
£370 x 52 = £19.24mil + £90mil (in transfer fee's) = £109.24mil ( for the purpose of ease this will be £109mil)

£109mil + £62mil = £171mil

Based on the above load of :poop: that I regretted starting almost as soon as I started writing it :oops: I have come to the below total figures for the end of this window.

Total money recouped/saved following player sales (including wages) = £93mil
Total money spent including wages = £171
Difference = £78mil

SO............... £78mil!

lets say the reported interest free loan from Lewis is £50mil (as ITK reported) that leaves £28mil

now £28mil is not a bad price to pay to firstly secure Champs league next season (and potentially more aka title challenge :love:)
Then also think of the extra TV money we received last season.

So to Summarise........ I KNOW this is all likely to be a load of :poop: and never going to happen but it is nice to dream and also to think of a Logical way where we can sign these players and not have to sell out love child that is BALE!!

anyway let the 'doh' and 'creative' ratings begin...

p.s - sorry to the mods and all readers in taking up a huge space in the thread!!

p.p.s - in the time it has taken me to write this we have prob had a load of ITK rubbishing all the above already - if so apologies!!!
