In regards to Goat's latest bleat, I'm pretty sure it can't be about Bale as they sold their sell on fee as part of the payment when they were in the shit.

We bought out the 20% Sell-on clause. we did not buy out the compulsory contribution from the sale they will get for training him as a youngster - they will still get a couple of million if he is sold - trust!

How many days before a game do you have to register the squad? If Willian was announced tomorrow would he be available for Sunday?

Not fussed tbh, just want him to be available for the NLD

As long as he is registered by 12 noon friday.

Exactly what I was thinking. Scenario could be like this: Bale stays, Lamela becomes his apprentice- he learns the trade of the PL and next season we sell Bale and have an amazing successor.

Also, we could avoid paying a stupid fee if they know we have sold Bale, or if he has another incredible season to make his price increase and we could possibly avoid being outbid by the big guns.

Surely this has crossed a shrewd businessman like Levy's mind?

Can we call him 'shrewd' anymore? 'free-speending Daniel' seems more apt.

I'm watching Magic roundabout

Are you parker in disguise!

 

[mark87]

I think he would need to be registered by Friday, eob.

Cheers, but was that your bad attempt at calling me a nob??

 

[portogirl]

Is that a cryptic from The Goat? It's written in the style of a cryptic, but the info itself makes perfect sense when read literally!

1st down payment on Luke Shaw ????

Pfft, fuck it. Give them a 20% on top of that. We can afford it. Tuck it right down the front of their G-string.

Nope. End of business. But I think somebody said 12 noon and I would trust them over me.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

So if Bale goes we're confident on a deal for Lamela. Also any Bale bid will likely include Coentrao. I'm feeling very comfortable with this window, almost too comfortable?

 

[Blackrat1299]

This is very exciting ...........I can't remember the last time I was this excited over Spurs!

So.........your on top!

Ah I see, cheers anyway

SteveH and myself have already decided that that would be the best course of action. Willian and Lamela in this window, regardless of Bale or DL can eff right off.

I've heard of fat fingers but jesud f chrost!!

 

[Mouse!]

Perez: Bale, come join us

Bale: Okay I will, but allow my club to get in replacements first

Perez: Okay

**2 weeks later**

Perez: Time to join Gareth

Bale (putting arm around AVB): Go fuck yourself Perez; I've got a league to win

**Cue a slow motion hero-walk away from the Bernabeu as it explodes**

Now we just wait for some photoshop genius to make all our dreams come true. (Or for some amateur to do it on paint which might be even more hilarious).

 

[mil1lion]

Top marks to whoever told Arsene Wenger the window opens on September 2nd

12 o'clock on the last working day, I believe

I bet Lamela is close to done. And Willian is being used to make it happen quickly. No matter what, Levy won't want Roma using the Bale money to get into another circular negotiation......like Leandro. So I bet Lamela will happen quickly if we are close to selling Bale.

Just a gut. But a gut based on how Levy can be in a deal and how he does learns from mistakes.
