SEMTEX Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Great to see the Serie A transfer merry go round back in full swing after a short while out of action. Just need a random AC & Inter player swap for the full house. @ItalianoCalcio: According to Corriere dello Sport, Milan are interested in Inter's Silvestre since Bonera got hurt. Nocerino could be part of a deal. Seems he's signed on loan. The cycle is complete. http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1510057/ac-milan-confirm-agreement-inter-milan-defender-matias-silvestre http://ibnlive.in.com/news/ac-milan-sign-matias-silvestre-from-inter-milan-on-loan/410719-5-21.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I like the look if Caulker. Seems a confident defender, comfortable on the ball and knows the basics inside out. Good potential too. If Coloccini was off I would have wanted us to be in for him, but it's a high price for a centre half when we have M'Biwa, Colo and Taylor competing for 2 places.

Skeletor Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I like Soldado but its crazy how easily 30 million is spent on a striker now. Should have offered £2m plus half his current wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/329867/WORLD-EXCLUSIVE-Tottenham-star-Gareth-Bale-gets-his-way-as-95m-Real-Madrid-deal-is-ON? The Welsh wonder has convinced Spurs they have to let him leave and move to the Bernabeu. And boss Andre Villas-Boas is now willing to sanction a world record deal involving £85m in cash and Real’s exciting young striker Alvaro Morata, 20. Spurs conducted talks with Bale at the club’s training ground in a last-ditch attempt to get him to stay. But the north Londoners were clearly told by the 24-year-old that he wants to sign for the Spanish giants. Villas-Boas has now identified Morata, previously linked with a £10m move to Liverpool, as the player he wants to bring to White Hart Lane. Spurs had hoped to convince Bale they have big ambitions and plan to make key signings in an effort to become a major Premier League force. But Bale let them know in no uncertain terms he has his heart set on a dream move to Madrid. Chairman Daniel Levy is now expected to thrash out a mega-money deal and wants cash plus Morata. £95m is an absolute pisstake. Eye-watering....at least £40m too much imo.

Ashley17 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Finally things are starting to move if we have Bale to Madrid and Soldado to Spurs. Just need Suarez & Rooney to go and the boring saga's are all nearly over. Except ours of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Pretty sure Spurs are looking for a CB more comfortable on the ball, fits AVB's system better. Still surprises me though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't that be Kaboul, he's returning from long term injury, maybe that's why they let Caulker go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Despite losing a fantastic player Spurs could really do something with this money. Despite all the one man team stuff I think they have a pretty bloody decent squad. Add another £10m rated 20 year old and £85m to spend they could really move on.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 In theory you should be able to win the league after adding £100m of players to nearly any squad around. Guess the hard bit is finding and signing them in a short time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 The hard bit is attracting the £30 million players when you're not in the CL. Yeah you've got the money to get them, but the players that go for those fees aren't always attainable. Spurs would arguably be better putting the money towards building a new stadium. The fans would never accept it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should hold on no matter the price, they are not in the CL so will struggle to attract the premium talent necessary to replace Bale and make the team better. For example when Modric and VdV left they bought Dempsey, Dembele and Sigurdsson. Ok they are good players, great in Dembele's case IMO but you can't help but feel if they were in the CL they would get better players. Ok there's a risk they might not qualify anyway but if Bale leaves there's not a chance in hell IMO. I know 85m is a lot of money, but no matter how much they have will the top players join? doubtful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Spurs are down to 1 fit CB. Apparently Kaboul's knees have a touch of the Ledleys. So there's some heavy investment needed there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
