You forgot the 6m for Dempsey
built a care home
Burt on talksport.
No deal agreed for Bale.
All these deals are separate.
Bale determined to leave. It will be hard to convince him to stay.
Understatement of... all of history!This has to be one of the best days for ITK in ages.
Hey 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.
AtlantaYid on COYS:
Just got word to expect word soon on Willian
Well. Then we walk in the shadow of Giants, mate
I forgot Rumor Ranger. When did we switch over to Whore? I can remember SS57 having the label before the new software.
TV money is definitely needed to pay wages, gates would not cover it.
This, to me, sounds like the shit. Rings totally true.Two medicals booked for 24 hours. Bale deadline Friday. RM don't have cash down payment required unless they raise £40m. Slightly depends on Spanish banks but low chance. Modric to United? May all be too late. RM dicked around way too long trying to talk down the price rather than raise the money. THFC working to a plan all summer. Still nobody outside 2-3 people know plan for sure. Tight media management in total contrast to previous era. No comment, bluff, even false-ITK have been used to keep everybody in the dark. Anybody who thinks JL and DL haven't thought of end game risks is underestimating them.

IF Bale did stay, with what we have (inc Willian), I can't comprehend just how possibly things could be.
Big ask to go win the title, but if Lemala, the left back involved too - I'd expect Bale to be out and out goalscorer, with no need to bring in another striker.
Imagine a line up like this...
Paulinho - Capoue
Lemala - Bale - Willian
Soldado
Thats not even considering Sandro...
I know I'm getting well ahead of myself, which I don't normally do with these things, but thought I'd enjoy it for a moment.
That is a frightening line up..
