so some itks say defoe is available and others say ade is. so are we trying to shift them both or what? we haven't been linked to any strikers recently other than osvaldo and i can't quite comprehend that we'd be buying a striker on top of the supposed deals for wilian, lamela and coentrao.
Reckon where PL interest comes, if it comes, will tell Towsend wether he is rated like Sterling or not. Personally think there might come offer from club like Cardiff or such.
Pigs need love too manIt is a matter of grave concern to me that you even knew that.
Joe ColeCan you imagine what Harry would have done with £90m !!!!

I think I fucking love you, Ry.Phew got through it!!!
Anyways. Pinch of salt in one hand please and the knowledge in the other that I should have probably goated. This is because its fairly obvious whose opinion this is.
1. Andros Townsend and Jermain Defoe are available but neither want to play for QPR this season. Townsend compares himself to Sterling and believes that he can be on the plane to Rio. fair play to him for that, but he wants out.
2. The circles with which my source () speaks in believe that Gareth Bale has not been sold as of today, yesterday or last week. Its also suggested that they expect Bale to NOT BE SOLD!!! Madrid have neither met our asking price nor provided any guarantees that they can make the payments anyway
3. My source also feels that we are spending the way we are because of an interest free loan from Big Joe. We pay him back once the stadium is completed and were top dogs in Europe. (ok I made the top dogs thing up) Our books will look A-OK because FFP doesnt prevent this kind of investment just yet
COYS
I've got a feeling (if you pardon the pun) that all these signings and the sale of Bale will either
1) Fuck us up big time with the lack of a world-class player
or
2) Be the single greatest decision is the history of the club that will turn us into one of the best.
Does anyone agree? With which option?

Was the ITK puzzle, a familiar face coming in Willian, since he already has been shown around Enfield?
You forgot the 6m for DempseyHey JJ, don't want to turn this into a Q&A, but is the TV Money included in balancing the books?
As looking at what we've currently spent and potentially going to spend, compared to income we have received in TV Money and players sold, we're looking ok if were not to sell Bale
Income
TV Money - £87m
Parker - £3m
Caulker - £8m
Huddlestone £5m
Outgoing
Paulinho - £17m
Chadli - £7m
Soldado - £28.5m
Capoue - £9m
Total Net = +£41.5m
If we were to keep Bale and get Willan, we would still be up with how much we have spent at +£11.7m
If we were to get Lamela and kept Bale, we would then have overspent and the balance -£18.2m
But, if what we believe is to be true, we would be offloading the below players:-
Ekotto - £6m
Townsend - £9m
Meaning that our net spend would be -£3.2m
Also, we still have an asset in Bale that we could sell next summer for just as high as fee.

Over 6/1 on Bale to stay on Betfair.
I'd be seriously tempted if I didn't already have £30 on it at lower odds![]()
