Silly people. I will never understand why these people would rather have a dig at our own chairman, than people at other clubs. In their eyes, nothing Levy does can ever right. For me, that's a weird way of supporting the club.

MM is our 3rd option after Lovren and Hector Moreno. How far down the barrel do you want to go?
If we don't get MM now, Moreno might be fit again come January

Half expecting a deadline day swoop for Reid if this doesn't come off... which would be massively underwhelming but honestly wouldn't be the worst short term fix.
Agree if you're talking about Winston, but disagree if you're talking about Peter.

This will happen IMO. Not as early as anyone would've liked but what can you do. JJ said 80% chance and was very optimistic about this (which is unlike him) and he hasn't really changed his stance.

As someone pointed out yesterday (and was given a winner by JJ) he didn't say this is 80% done. He simply informed us that even after medical ect he'd only class THAT as 80% done

But didn't A&C say that JJ meant that he would only rate deals as 80% done after a medical and he said he was currently 80% confident, suggesting he's very hopeful/sure that this will happen. Maybe I'm wrong though.

I'm not amazed at all. 3rd party ownership makes A LOT of sense for La Liga.
Firstly, the country of Spain got hit with a financial crisis and all the teams took a hit, except for Barcelona and Real (and perhaps some others) who have/had dirty money keeping them afloat. 3rd party ownership means all these other teams can buy players for far cheaper because they're only buying smaller percentages of the player. Meaning the league itself can have sustained success even when under large financial trouble.
Secondly, it makes transfers harder to complete. Which for them is not a bad thing. Oh no, La Liga teams have to keep there good players unless mega offers come in. That's only a good thing for them. Players can still move up teams as they either get bought by mega rich Barcelona or Real Madrid who can afford to purchase the entirety of the player or they get sold to a different La Liga team who only has to buy the team's percentage of the player as the 3rd parties can still retain their ownership. So the player can move, but still stays in La Liga which again is just another win for the league.

Then where were we for Lovren?? Its not as if he was snapped up before we had a chance to go in for him.As for Moreno, I am not sure how you could possibly know this unless you are really ITK.

Think we were always in for Lovern, Lallana... We just ain't gonna play silly money for them. 20M for Lovern is just maddness. Liverpool out bid us fair and square imo...
Can't tell u if they were wise to do so, or dumb till the end of the season. But if it wasn't for Liverpool, think we will do to Southampton what we did to Pompey when Harry took over... Which is grab the best from that team.
We would most likely have seen Lovern, Lallana, J Roy and MS in a spurs jersey if we had our way. But thats life, we are always not gonna over pay. So hope it works out for us.

Mate you need to stop hanging on weeks old ITK. Things change, it's not hard to get your head round it.

Its interesting that the GFC did not impact on the top Spanish clubs and that they seem to be above financial scrutiny!

A question regarding the 30%. Is that the majority share of this player?
Because, in a sale, wouldn't the majority owner ultimately make the decision?
If Villarreal aren't the majority owner, then who is? Who owns the remaining 70% of him and how is it split?
It may be that the final decision is not in the hands of Villarreal, despite their assertions that he'll stay.

That's a good point, River Plate and The Players Agent would be pretty daft to sign away a controlling stake so early on in MM's career whereby Villarreal could effectively run out their asset but refusing the player a move.

Well, since no one holds a majority stake, no one is a majority holder.
