Ali Z's info is eerily similar to what Diario AS and Marca were saying in their Spanish language sites this morning.
For me - this makes it less reliable - none of the three (the two papers or Ali Z) seemed to be clear on who exactly they thought they were negotiating with.

Maybe they faxed it over to them.

I've often wondered if I could just fax a counter offer to Real Madrid, how seriously they would take it.

Pretty sure I could type something up on fake headed paper and leak it to Marca.

How dedicated am I? Went into Argos with mates and checked the RO and here on an Ipad mini while they were busy looking for stuff!

Feel Parker will choose Fulham in a World Cup year as it is his last chance to play in one. Nice to see Capoue finally announced and how beastly does he look?! Still feel we'll keep Bale for this year. Just over two weeks to hold off now!

The likelihood is that won't happen as Verts, Dembele and Chadli are all Flemish speakers rather than French speaking Belgians. You can usually tell from the region they start off their career and whether they move to Holland or France first. At a stretch Chadli may speak French as its the second language for Morocco (his ethnicity) but still unlikely.
Just to avoid any misunderstanding: Chadli is born in Liege and definitely french speaking of origin.

Watched my national team play against France yesterday and my gut feeling says we will bid on Alderweireld again as he was VERY impressive at right back against a certain Mr Ribery. Surely our scouts must have noticed that as well. There has been conflicting info from the ITK front on him, but still think he's a big possibility.

I think they should reduce the transfer window to one week only, and get all chairmen from Europe/World elite teams together in one hotel in Vegas...All deals happen in one casino if a deals not done there in one week, the window shuts again until Boxing day, when they get another week.

Love it. Televise it.

I'm a chairman, get me out of here!

I was somewhat unsure on Chadli but thanks for the clarification.

Shame he didn't choose to play for Morocco, much like Kaboul and another defender we've been linked with, Rami

I think Parker will choose whoever is offering the most money. ...He usually does.

Do it. Do it today. Leaked letter from Spurs with Levy demanding £135m for Bale

Verts is Flemish and Dembele Walloon.

Verts said when we first signed Dembele that even though he knew him from the national team, they didn't even speak the same language. I don't know about Chadli.

I believe that quote was about Hazard, Dembele is from the Antwerp area and he and Vertonghen were on the same youth team together. Vertonghen does also speak some French though, and Dembele probably does too, especially since his dad is from Mali.

Ffs! What in the name of Satan's trousers is Levy playing at?!?!?

We've not made a signing for about 10 hours!!!

This is totally unacceptable. I'm making a complaint.

Now, where's my phone.....

A week? Are you mad?

90 minutes with break in the middle, call it half time.

If we have the backing of joe Lewis , I wish levy tells them to do one, and keeps him for a year , and if he wants to sulk let him, leave him on the bench for a few games the boy will soon learn.
