Do these things like reporting lower fees, smokescreens and other transfer shenanigans actually happen?

The one question I want JJSet to answer is: What is the club's current financial situation? Do we have cash reserves to spend money, without the Modric sale, or not?

I have an impossible time fathoming Daniel Levy sanctioning a 25 million dollar bid for Joao Moutinho. I think using Huddlestone as a temporary replacement would be much more likely, in the interim.

So JJetset got this completely wrong then? He went against POTL and said there's no deal in place right?

I dont really get the whole "reporting lower fees" situation. We are talking about it on here saying how Fulham will now think we have less money than we actually have and so they will lower their asking price for Dembele. If we can figure this out, then surely so can they!!

Reporting lower fees than what we receive also acts to infuriate support as already proved on here.

Holding out for £40m yet let him go for almost half that? All this posturing for nothing etc, preventing us from getting our squad settled for the start of the season etc.

Sky have got it wrong I imagine. Not a huge surprise!

I trust Levy will balance the books, so I don't care what the numbers are.

I care about what we see on the pitch. If we end up with Mouthinho, Ade, Damiao, and Lloris, in addition to Vertonghen and Gylfi, then the window will have been a tremendous success, regardless of whatever the Modric number was.

JJ said this yesterday but nothing since:

When asked..."True or False: Luka has been sold"
The original JJetset@jetsetyid
As it stands at this point in time NO
And..."not even Modric to Madrid?"

The original JJetset@jetsetyid
No not yet

Team JJ or team POTL??..."if POTL says he has, then he has #masterandapprentice;)"

The original JJetset@jetsetyid
Ok well DL doesn't know that so do you want to tell him or shall I ?

is POTL wrong then?
The original JJetset@jetsetyid
People hear things at different times and he has obviously heard this in good faith. Things change do quickly & not his fault


___________________________________________________________________________________

Maybe POTL is closer than JJ to the top? JJ has said people here things at different times and it appears that POTLs info is a bit more up to date? Thats if this is confirmed of course!

He did say less than 24 hours ago that it wasn't close. Things change though. Although I'm a little hesitant to believe SSN if they are using MARCA as the source.

So have we all calmed the fuck down a bit now?
Jesus wept its like a fucking kindergarten group being told barney is dead every time anyone suggests anything remotely negative may have happened. I think we need a new rating of 'grow a pair'

Sheesh! It's embarrassing it really is.

Interesting theories about us using the price to force Porto's hand.

Well it's a good thing that there aren't many Portuguese people at RM who might leak the actual price back to Porto, if this is just a game of subterfuge. I mean this game of cat and mouse could be shot to pieces if the head coach at Real Madrid had once coached Porto, and still held them in high regard, and might not like the current coach here. Good thing, that crazy scenario I just laid out is the things of science fiction novels.

They could be contractually obliged no to discuss the fee, not to say that someone wouldn't talk but there would always be an air of uncertainty if the top people were keeping shtum.

Honestly I think the fee is irrelevant, I wouldn't care if we sold him for a magic bean as long as we kick on.

He has said this today on POTL's info (including the bit about Modric):

Cant disagree with any parts of that though the finer details are missing &there is a reason for that! #Nothing wrong with POTL;0)
