So is Hulk £5m better than Carroll?

I wonder if the fans will have a 'Banner' up to welcome him?

See what I did there...

So is Hulk £5m better than Carroll?

Does that mean we'll get him in a year or so?

No Liverpool will get him for £30m so effectively saving £5m

Brenda's writing a new document on it already

And we'll get him a year after that?

Jaw does that mean if tottenham go back to Porto wih the same offering in the winter window moutinho will be ours?

Wouldn't know, if you read their financial reports they seem to run a tight ship and have to sell players to balance the books. My best guess is that depending on their CL performance and their league position they will or won't sell...

I don't think cash was the issue 100%, if you look at the comments it was a 'difficult' deal. In my mind that means third party ownership issues.

Porto have now sold around £65-70m this summer and only brought in a couple of players for about £5-6m.
They have also drastically reduced the wage bill and been investing much more through their academy and infrastructure.

The moutinho deal, will go through in January (as I believe will the Damiao) if AVB is still there. He really requires Moutinho to fulfill his desired game plan at Spurs. In the meantime, he will make do with whats there.

It's a big financial outlay from Zenit yet again this window, after paying 40m euro for Witsel. They are staking a lot on this current team and manager performing in the champions league.

In answer to earlier enquiries, this twat is number one

Pat Crerand.

Another notoriously dirty bastard.

Is it me or is Scholes quite overrated (even at his peak)? Very good player of course, but I heard someone - ex-pro - on the radio say that there were 4 world class English Players in the last 50 years - Bobby Charlton, Jimmy Greaves, Paul Gascoigne and Paul Scholes. Surely that is bullshit?

If the list doesn't contain Bobby Moore, or Gordon Banks, then its not worth taking seriously to start with.

Any list that mentions the words "world class" and "English" is not worth taking seriously.

talking about world class and english
news that michael owen won't be going to liverpool
he has chosen stoke for a 2 year deal
i guess he's looking for european football next year

Any list that mentions the words "world class" and "English" is not worth taking seriously.

Heskey?
Joe Cole?
Kevin 'One Cap' Davies?

Baines?

Ashley Cole was world class.

Baines?

I was also forgetting Seth Johnson

He's Cornish.

Or Devon.

I wonder if he knows Murtle?

The £37000 a week story is false btw.

wow his leatherworks are doing well even if it's half of that

citeh prepare a £93mn bid for ronaldo
would that transfer take him past crouchie or keane as the worlds most expensive footballer ( i.e. all transfers added together )

I have it on good authority he was fucked over by whoever deals with transfers at Anfield. He was given the impression they would definitely be getting 2 of 3 from: -

Huntelaar
Sturridge
Dempsey

This turned out not to be the case.

Oh dear.

yup, looks like Ayre should be on his way after that and a disastrous year as MD.. final straw and all that. Good.
