Sorry guys been under the weather today :(

So don't really know what's gone on today. However just see Atlanta's input on Lamela. I respect his info but I'm hearing different. Everything is agreed. Just waiting for Roma to give him the green light to come complete.

To be honest it makes sense for levy to up the asking price. Real lets face it will look like fucking morons if they cant close this deal after their arrogance so Levy see's an opportunity to whack on a few mill. Why not. Worst that can happen 'oh shit the deal collapsed we now have this welsh bastard on our hands for another year. Just so happens the welsh bastard is one of the top players in the world. Shame

That fucking moron, Balague, seems to be under the impression that Spurs give a damn about moving goalposts etc. Newsflash for these arrogant bastards is that some clubs will not be pushed around by anybody, let alone a tosspot organisation drowning in its own debt. After winding Bale up all summer, pay the price or crawl back under the rock you came from and the same goes for that slimy prick, Balague, as well. Honestly, bloody Spanish, who do they think they are ? We should invade. Two reasons now. Their absurd arrogance in this Bale fiasco and Gibraltar.

Me too. Getting a bit concerned to be honest. I would have thought Baldini's connection with Roma would mean we could get the Lemala deal wrapped up quicker. I still think it will get done but I'm worried that will be the only other signing.

There are only 6 days to go and we've got too much to do imo. Apart from closing the Lemala and vlad deals we need a creative player plus a striker if as appears likely Ade leaves. Could do with a LB too.

Didn't an ITK say that a deal for Erikson is teed up - so could move quickly on it

Cheers for the info :) . Why would they not give him the green light if we've agreed everything? Are they waiting to get their replacement sorted?

Ballague claiming that Levy has moved the goalposts on Bale after the shirt and stage fiasco.

Good. If they pulled the shirt and stage shit without having the Bale deal 100% agreed and in contract it would be remiss of Levy NOT to move the goalposts and try to get more money for Bale. He has to take advantage of the fact that Madrid is running out of time and Perez must be getting desperate to bring Bale in.

I wonder if ITK will pick up over the next few days or if it will just be quit until things are announced just before the OS. It wouldn't surprise me. And I can't quite figure out where Hulk would fit in alongside Lamela if we are going to stick with a 433, nether are particularly suited to the left wing.

Sorry to hear you're under the weather - cure could be a bottle of scotch.

Re Lamela - could the player deal be pretty much agreed, but the agent is raising the crossbar on his fee giving the discrepancy on your 2 info sources. That wouldn't stop Lamela coming to London or Roma being happy, its just the agent who's the issue ?

My personal opinion, but we still need 4-5 more signings if we truly want to round out our squad and challenge for bigger and better things than 4th. I'm not saying each of these players need to be worth in excess of 15m in order to have the desired effect.

The sad part is I don't necessarily think that's reasonable with it already being Wednesday now and we haven't signed anyone. Granted, we appear to have Chiriches "all but done" (famous last words). That's one of my big 3-4 signings that include a CB, LB, AM, winger and a striker. Hopefully Erik Lamela will get sorted before the weekend because as the days go by for whatever reason (there's really no reason except for my racing mind) it feels like we get further from having a deal done.

Personally, I think Bale is gone and it's just a matter of all of these dominoes falling into place. So, hopefully we have some ideas lined up and we've been making phone calls to have deals in place but just waiting our confirmation. I think that's incredibly likely with Levy and I don't think he would just add Chiriches and Lamela when it appears he was willing to add those 2 plus Willian.

For me, the best case scenario (keeping in mind players we've been linked with somewhat, not necessarily my pick of random players) would be Chiriches, Coentrao, Lamela, Damiao and Eriksen. That's realistically about a 67-70m outlay (Coentrao counting as about 3m with the Modric money factored in). Is that reasonable? No, probably not. But if it were to happen we're title challengers.

I think it was the scotch that was the problem ;)

No, I was told unequivocally that all terms were agreed

Is anyone else surprised at the limited ITK on BAE - seems to have been out of favour when not fit last season and has not appeared in pre-season. Yet he's still at Spurs.

Not a lot of ITK on incoming LB's either, other than a suggestion that Coentra might come from Real.

I'm concerned that as soon as Bale goes, it will allow Madrid to sell to arsenal. Let's hope they want to keep their squad together and adding Bale won't change that!? Enjoying seeing them struggling in the transfer window and us having a pretty successful one.

That's the same 5 players I think we need /might go for. Seems a bit far fetched that we will get them at this stage though, really cant see it.

Edit: Lamela and Vlad in by Thursday. Then between Fri and Mon to sign another 3, possible I suppose lol.
