Sky sports news had a story an hour ago saying "no new Holtby bid"
It's now "not available"
It's now "not available"
Levy's wheelbarrow might have something to say about that!
Seems that Willian is still keen on a move:

It seems like Arsenal bid for Jovetic this morning.... wow.

We're not getting Willian for £20m. Shit, we're haggling over £1.5m for Holtby who we bought on a free. There's no way we're breaking our club transfer record (by a large sum), in January, on a #10. Not when Levy already bought Dempsey and Gylfi for that role.
half that i reckon, 6 to 7mI'd make a completely unsubstantiated guess at about...12 mil? It's hard to say because highly rated young German players seem to never come to the English league so there aren't many similar deals to compare it to.
If you have ITK to post and think it should be in the RO, you're welcome to post it in there yourself if it's getting missed

Understood. We have the money for Holtby. We also have the money for Willian, but that doesn't men it's gonna be paid. We haggle because that's his way. It has it's pluses and minuses.I don't think we will get Willian either...but the reason we're hagging over the transfer fee with Schalke is because we CAN. It's not that we don't have the money. It's because we're in a good negotiation position and if we can save a few bucks..why not?

If it stops us from muscling in on third place, I wouldn't put it past them. Ambramovich collects our targets for exactly that purpose.think he is the last player they need, they have zillions of attacking midfielders
We try to but I think some of the late night stuff gets lost. Anyone can post to the RO and it then gets approved by a mod (but at least it won't go missing).
Its very unlikely we will get Willian IMO, but this reasoning always irks me a little (not aimed at you mate, but I've seen this a lot) Deals are valued on their own individual merits, taking a host of variables into consideration, regardless of the potential 'size' of the deal. In other words, you don't just pay somebody whatever they're demanding instantly because its not a particularly high priced deal. I could never envisage Levy abandoning his rigid business principles - no matter what deal he's working on for any amount. We/he has business image to protect and maintain and that sets a dangerous precedent for future business.
Yer i wasnt told till saturday when i had a txt off the biatch. Was told the new bid of €1.75mill (£1.490 mill) should be accepted but it was not guaranteed as schalke have been playing hardball. I was told 1 mayb 2 more in after holtby. But that is common knowledge i think.
I assume so, I don't remember your details specifically but your stuff was definitely in the RO
