So it's giuesswork then? Thought so. Modric is reported to be on £40k you know. That's horseshit according to most ITKs.

Always is with salaries as they aren't ever published (only the whole club's wage bill).

Modric's is being wrongly reported because either i) they're still writing the amount from his previous contract or ii) they are quoting the after tax amount. Consensus seems to be Modric is on c.£70k.

No. According to the Goat it was just a hoax.

And according to Yidio it was not. Its not a hoax. And if it is its fooled a whole country. This guy is on a free, the biggest club in Mexico thought they had signed him, but he doesn't sign. He waits, and then says he has agreed to join spurs, where he suspects he might go on loan for the first season. We will find out at the begining of next month in anycase.

Forlan might well take a pay cut. Rossi is pie in the sky for the meantime, why would he want to go to us, when clubs of the likes of Barca are still on the look out?

Also I doubt it's about Pedrosa because he himself said he would sign on the 4th, which suggests that will be the date the whole thing is finalised.

Sorry chaps was watching the Rugby League. Not a new name, and think he's posted ITK before but can't be sure. A lurker on FTL.

Do wonder if he's Naybet an old FTL ITK. Remember him.? His source found out he was posting info and we never heard from him again. But might just have been a name change

You are basically stating my argument. You don't KNOW how much these guys are on, and it is folly to place faith in figures stated by the media.

Forlan will be on a hefty chunck, granted. But I'd be surprised if Rossi "one of the best strikers in La Liga" and a big enough name for most posters here to be our marquee signing, is on such a relatively low wage as the only you quoted. And the only reason you quoted such a low figure was to attempt to back up your argument that Hoowl was wrong to suggest that Forlan might be more likely to sign than Rossi. It was intentionally antagonistic.

Was just about to post this myself, can anyone confirm if POTL has actually said the below or are they making shit up...?

ThePOTL Phantom of the Lane
"Mother has taken me out for the day. Church fate. Good news, about to buy some apple pie."

AND

"I have cream for my apple pie too, though not the iced form, no, this is double thick and more Harrods than Waitrose, no need for a whipping boy just slather it all over the box OOO suits us Sir!"

First one sounds possibly POTL but second one I doubt...
