General/Non-Spurs Transfers

[Stamford]

Bale could leave Real tomorrow if he wanted he just has to take a pay cut and still pick top 200k elsewhere. I definitely dont feel sorry for him

 

[sausage]

He won them a CL final and what did he get for it? Nothing. Because Ronaldo scored a garbage time goal.

He got a CL winner's medal of course. And I'm sure a fat cheque, too.

He doesn't get lauded because he's not that kind of personality. It's the same as Kane really - he doesn't have the personality for self-advertising, so there's always going to be an air of 'under appreciation' about him.

As has been mentioned by many prior, he is at a superficial club and doesn't invest in that superficiality. Doesn't get involved in the language or culture, and doesn't appear to live that "superstar" lifestyle that I'm sure many of their brain-dead supporters expect from one of the world's most expensive.

Injuries have just exasperated the whole thing. If he stayed fit I'm sure he'd be forgiven a bit more.


As it is, they've made him rich and he's probably got his own trophy room full of stuff. Doesn't seem like the type that gives a crap about individual awards.

How can we support bale when he had everything at Spurs and went to real Only for the money, real means nothing to him just a pay cheque , what a waste enjoy the money and retire that’s all your doing for now

He had everything with us apart from £300k a week and 3 CL winners medals. I don't think anyone can argue he hasn't done the right thing for his family and his career, its just overrun and he should have left 2 years ago whilst still in his peak.

Clearly football isn't his biggest priority anymore though which is understandable I guess.

 

[hughy]

Bit hyperbolic. They mutually have won what 3 CLs? He's done well there, just overstayed his welcome. His financial career is well and truly complete. I think his injuries ruined his career and he's done well to roll with them.

Was gutted and annoyed with Bale when he went. Particularly because, AVB had constructed a team to get the best out of him and, perhaps 1-2 pieces were possibly going to be brought in to support him - Paulinho. But you can't really argue with 3 CL's and the potential to set up multiple generations of your family in the space of 5-6 years....and to be fair, perhaps his advisor new that Levy would never really invest the money needed therefore risking Bale's potential for nowt

Leeds targeting Champions League after Premier League return, says chief executive Angus Kinnear

Weve got back to where we belong. This really is base camp ... Leeds should have a Champions League team and thats the vision.

Leeds Chief Exec talking a good game; a healthy mix of enthusiasm and arrogance. Sounds like they have a project in mind and are driven to reach their goals. Really does sound nice compared to the tone Levy uses. I know that might trigger some people but lets be fair, Levy has a far more measured way of talking and could never be accused of trying to get our hopes up.

I do think the Leeds Chief Exec may be over doing it talking up top 6 (although he does state that it is the target within the next few years), as the landscape is already rough enough for the established clubs. Sheffield UTD and Wolves have shown that you can come up and mix it with the usual suspects, but that makes the job of Leeds cracking the top 6 even harder as there's even less room at the table. Throw in Newcastle with their possible takeover and we really are looking at a very very competitive group.

So both chelsea and arsenal got two very good midfielders from real madrid in the mould of kovacic and cabellos

 

[Cavehillspur]

Inter have signed Hakimi from Madrid for 36mil, would’ve loved us to go for him.

 

[thebenjamin]

A really hot prospect to keep an eye on will be Mohammed Kudus, who has signed for Ajax from Nordsjælland in Denmark.

A Ghanaian International at 19 years old, he has come through the wonderful Ghanaian Footballing system in place at FCN...run by the Right To Dream Academy...who was founded by the FCN Chairman!

Has moved onto Ajax for €9.5m...massive money for FCN, who can use that to invest in more talents in the future!

Kudus however...midfielder/forward, 9 goals in 21 games this season, with some assists too, very promising..will be one to watch next season!

Kudus to you for spotting this talent

Chavs getting Havertz according to Ornstein

Completely baffling move if this means they don't have money to upgrade in defence.

Hopefully they come in for rose

Arent Arsenal paying an arm and a leg for the Ceballos loan?

And now he's on form they are finding out how stupid it was not having a loan to buy option, at a certain figure, like we wanted.

 

[Partizan]

It is said the market will be tight but then I see Napoli spending 74 million on Osimhen...surely that means a few important outgoings

Real madrid willing to sell him to arsenal now ... And he wants to stay at arsenal if they dont give him first team opportunity

Yup and we're now supposed to be in a different league to them!
We are and that's the league below them still.
