Well our response is interesting, whether we have any backup, or we're just gonna shrug our shoulders and go, bah we tried, like a loser
Can't really blame the club for losing out in a bidding war vs Spurs. Bidding against them is like playing poker heads up against an opponent who has 10 x your chip count, you just get bent over and there's nothing you can do about it. Better we wait for Spurs to sell bale and finish their transfer business so we can sign one or a couple of the likes of turan/eriksen/damiao.

Willian and Coentrao in, Bale out.

You know, I can live with that outcome.

and lamela

that really is cracking business. coentrao + ~70/90 mil depending on the actual deal, willian and lamela too? would say that is actually an improvement if they settle.

Great result. Selling Bale is looking like excellent business by Levy. Really no excuses for not making top 4 now, you really can't afford to with your new wage bill (even with no bale).

If we're signing any of those three players then I'm not worried, it's the fact that we have less than two weeks left in the window, glaring weaknesses in our team that we have not fixed, despite having the money to do so.

If we actually get any of those players in then it'd be fine, but the fact that we should just shrug our shoulders and said shit happened just like we did last summer, isn't good enough when they're trying to make it out like they're making us competitive again, when we've actually made money on transfers this summer

AVB just needs to offload Adebayor and replace him with a quality striker (see Damiao, Eto'o) and they will have a perfectly rounded squad. Possinly an outside chance for the title. Willian is a X100 upgrade over Lennon.

Lots going on at Spurs. Willian has chosen #THFC over LFC & is undergoing medical today. Roma chief Sabattini meeting Baldini about Lamela.

Told #THFC have offered Roma �29.9m for Lamela & a 5-year, �65,000-a-week contract is on the table.

but when it comes down to it, madrid have the hottest commodity available in football. that's what madrid is about. they don't let those guys get away. whether that means paying 90 mil, so be it. the last 90 mil signing for them didn't turn out too bad.

Willian and Lamela.. Who do you think will have more impact straight off the bat?

Bit of a seamless transition for the Spurs fans judging by this pic
