Winter 2013/14 Transfer Window DISCUSSION Thread

Sold Adam Smith to Bournemouth. Permanent deal.

Just seen that, thought it was a loan. Wasn't he supposed to be decent?


Sky Sports revealed earlier that a deal was close, and Bournemouthhave now completed the signing of Adam Smith from Tottenham on a three-and-a-half-year deal.

Didn't Monaco (as a club) recently lose a ruling forcing them to tax their players 'French' taxes since they're technically competing in the French league? Or am I dreaming?

EDIT: I guess not

No mate they didn't lose as in now their players now have to start paying taxes.

But they've had to pay a lump sum of €50,000,000 to basically let it slide.

Which is basically not a lot to them now is it? And definitely worth the short term loss to keep top players coming in, being attracted to earning a hell of a lot more than elsewhere in Europe.

I'm not believing a word until Carlito confirms it.

 

[ArcspacE]

Sounds legit

Well the latest is holtby is off to Dortmund for 5million so if him and capoue go that is bad business. If anybody should be sold it should be sig or Chadli

Tim Sherwood good chance of players going out maybe on loan.And not really a chance of anybody coming in unless something Drastic happens.

I hear that Ronaldo and Messi are coming over - they want to play in the same team and neither will play for each other's clubs. £1m each, because of some made up clause in their contract.

#ITK - I know a Spanish guy who one said Barcelona using a "thhhhh" noise where the 'C' is. True story.

Any actual rumours based on reality and not a 12 year old's FIFA game?

Quite disappointed about this. From the (admittedly limited) occasions I'd seen him play I genuinely thought he'd be a better long term RB than Naughton.

 

[CJJ]

that's the impression I got, but I guess Tim would have a say and would know a little more? Who knows??

Come saturday morning it`ll be interesting to see what our "net spend" is since the start of the Summer window. Taking into account the sale of Bale, Caulker etc, the £40million TV windfall which most clubs invested in their squad last summer, and the 7 signings we`ve made so far, we`re currently on around - £44million by my reckoning. Thats minus £44million. £44million profit for Mr L£V£Y. I`ll keep my mouth shut for a few more days though, but i think our top 4 challenge will be following a familiar pattern

You cannot just chuck the TV money in with the transfers. Wages will have gone up a lump with 7 big signings and 1 outgoing. Our squad players are on a fair lump.

I think first of all, we need to establish who the fuck Pgs are..

I think its more than fair to chuck it in, considering 16 of the other 19 PL teams had a positive net spend in the last window. We were one of only 4 teams to finish the window with a negative outlay on player purchases. Anyway, even without the 40mill`, were still in the black on transfer fees. IF it should stay that way, it`s hardly a positive indictment of Levy`s ambition to steer us into the champions league is it.
