Guest kingdawson Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Mackems trying their best to sign D. Bent. Would be great signing I've always rated him. Bruce comments suggest they're willing to pay over the odds for him too. To be fair Spurs paid well over the odds for him too.. how much would over the odds be compared to what you forked out for him? Bent was £12 m with £4m in clauses. Think Sunderland will probably pay upwards of 12 million so that would be a tidy sum for a player who hasn't lived up to expectation. Edit: Everton, 11:33, July 26, 2009 Everton have agreed a £7million fee with Tottenham for Scotland international Alan Hutton after he was deemed surplus to requirements. Hutton's future at White Hart Lane has been in doubt for some time following a run of injuries and the arrival of full-back Kyle Naughton at the club has seemingly only helped to seal the 24-year-old's fate. Everton have reportedly agreed a fee with Spurs after ongoing negotiations and Hutton will now hold talks with David Moyes in a bid to agree personal terms with the Toffees. Hutton only moved to White Hart Lane in January 2008 and initially had a big impact on the side before his first full season was interrupted by injury and he was limited to making just eight appearances last season. I predicted this a while back . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Spurs doing some shit business again. They will be struggling for top 6 imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 £7m.... meh, in today's market it's alright. Think he could flourish under Moyes and is exactly what we're looking for at RB. If he can stay fit... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 No idea why, but I've got a feeling Everton might struggle a little bit next season. Think they'll finish outside of the top 8 anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also played a fair bit at RB in his time here, including the '98 FA Cup Final where Dalglish put him there so his pace would combat Overmars...only for Overmars to rape him for his goal.

Guest defo Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Pompey accept £10m for Crouch from Spurs. That's a fantastic signing, he will score 20+ next season with the likes of Lennon Keane and Modric setting him up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question was who havn't we paid over the odds for not 'what bargains have we found'. The list Defo has is accurate plus you can add Corluka to it. Now let me ask a question, name a player who's left us recently that we havn't absolutle conned the buying club with an absurd price?. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest defo Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 But when you pay over-inflated fees yourself for players, that balances out. That's an interesting perspective but I think Man City have destroyed any notion of balancing the books in terms of transfers - it now comes down to running a sound business with disposable income being dependent on the fiscal health of the plc or whatever set up you have. You can't run a business based on projected transfer revenue streams when there's someone out there dropping financial explosives left right and centre with no need for dependence on the business model that dictates everyone elses transfer activity. It's grab proven quality when you can (e.g. Crouch, Downing) and sit back and watch City work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~1733644,00.html TERRY: TOTALLY COMMITTED Posted on: Sun 26 Jul 2009 John Terry has released the following statement: 'There has been a lot of speculation recently about my future and I want to clear this up once and for all. I am totally committed to Chelsea and always have been. Chelsea have also made it clear to me consistently that there was never any intention to accept any kind of offer. 'When you are linked with any club, or with a manager who I have huge respect for, it will always make headlines but me leaving Chelsea was never a possibility. 'I know there has been comment that I should have made a statement earlier. However, throughout this period there have been numerous discussions between myself, the owner and the Chelsea Board and we all agreed that the timing of any statement would suit everyone involved in those talks, not any outside influences or agendas. 'What is clear to me following those discussions is that Chelsea's ambition remains as high as ever.This has been further proved by the appointment of Carlo Ancelotti. I am certain that he will take this club on to the next level. 'Another important factor was knowing that Chelsea would be securing key current players for the long term. The strengthening of the squad around this core is crucial to pushing us onto greater success. 'I am as committed as ever to helping drive Chelsea forward and I will be proud to lead the team for as long as I can.' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
