      Southampton are fairly knocking cash around. Rumours that they're going for Osvaldo from Roma now for €18m.

      ;D if this happens. Not a bad player but if he's worth €18 I'm scared to think what they value Lamela.

      AVB has been seriously undermined by Daniel Levy over the bale situation, but he should never have come out and said that he has assurances Bale will not leave at any price. I have seen managers resign over this sort of thing, but AVB is just carrying on like nothing has happened, he must be f*cking seething inside!!

      AVB will know full well what the situation is regarding Bale but everybody at the club has to stick with the line that he's not for sale to ensure that maximum value is received when he goes. Levy is a decent owner and runs the club well but there is no way he would sanction purchases of Capoue, Paulihno and Soldado without being pretty certain that the Bale money was coming, be it this window or next.

      On another subject, I mentioned in the betting thread a few weeks back that you can get 66/1 on Napoli for the CL. Well that has narrowed to 50/1 now but with Callejon, Higuain, Mertens, Pandev, Hamsik, Reina and Dossena  :f_tongueincheek: already there, they're heavily rumoured to be in for Mascherano. If they get him and with Rafa charge, I'd say it's still worth a few quid!

      "MrBoywunder ‏@MrBoywunder 46m

      Basically, the French league has told Monaco they must relocate to France by 2014 therefore they can get taxed the same as the rest"

      "Monaco have take the league to the court to challenge it. But there has been no decision."

      This chap is pretty reliable, and doesn't just spout stuff for the sake of it

      Surely nothing can happen with Falcao anyway until January due to the rule about signing for more than two clubs in one calender year.

      Hahahahaha!

      Either that or Madrid have fu**ed off the idea of spending silly money on Chimp Boy, can't be arsed with Suarez and want to buy Falcao to piss off Atletico.

      Or Marca are just in sh*t-stirring mode again.

      Surely nothing can happen with Falcao anyway until January due to the rule about signing for more than two clubs in one calender year.

      But if it's Madrid, Uefa will turn a blind eye, we're talking about the mancs of Europe here!

      Not surprising considering how well Danny Murphy did there in his 30s. Good move for both parties this one.

      Ya, heard the same. Had him captain in fantasy until I heard he was struggling for fitness. He made the bench I think?

      What a team Spurs are going to have!

      Like some have suggested, they wont just make top 4, if those guys gel quickly they could really push for more. Not going to suggest a title challenge but next year, if they try again I think they could be knocking on the door.

          Paulinho  Capoue

      Offer them some sort of attack. Walker and Coentrao on the flanks too. Quite impressive. Sandro and Chadli as subs.

      I am secretly a bit jealous of Spurs side this season and I'm one who usually doesn't give a sh*t about other clubs.

      I've made no secret that I think Bale is currently one of the most over rated footballer playing the game so I would have no problem with selling him for the ridiculous fee they will get if I was a Spurs fan. I actually know two Spurs fans who are of exactly the same opinion as well.

      I also rate AVB very highly as well and he was one I would have liked here as manager before we made the Brendan appointment.

      Agree completely up to the AVB point, not a huge fan of his but would have preferred him to Brendan at the time, I agree with that too.

      AVB wasn't my first choice but would have been higher up my list than Brendan.

      Way higher in fact but that time has gone now.

      Bale's move to Real is becoming more likely by the day. Not far from becoming a formality now. As wonderful a year he had last season he is not worth a status of 'world's most expensive player'. Tottenham will be able to cash in on the losses made in this summers transfer window. With no windfall having missed out on the Champions League it was simply bizarre that they would spent that amount of money. Never good losing your talisman though. Regardless of who you bring in as a replacement or replacements, nothing can really fill that massive void when you lose your superstar and often you're left off with a weaker squad than a stronger one.

      Going to watch Tblisi v Spurs tonight on ITV4 to see how Spurs are and even how they compare to us. On paper you would easily say they have the better team and they should finish ahead of us but I have real confidence that we could challenge them and finish ahead of them. I believe and have confidence that there is a greater team ethic with us and the talent is diversified to a greater extent in our team rather than monopolised in the way it was with Gareth Bale last season. I also believe that we can play a higher standard of football than them.
