What language is that.. Spanish?

Doesn't translate in Spanish, does translate in Galician - to 'Willow'.

Doubt we're signing anyone from a Celta Vigo or Deportivo (Isaac Cuenca?) or a Galician player (Jota, Denis Suarez?)

So we must be signing Julio Arca (Plays for Willow Pond FC) or Willo Flood.

Levy saves Ade from A&C?

Val Kilmer stars, and an anagram of Val Kimler is...? Charlie Austin.

Ramos and then Fazio

This. We also mugged them off with Zokora and they pulled our plonker on both Capel and Luis Fabiano as revenge. Only reason Fazio deal happened was because it was a DL special and they had no say in it!

Krychowiak has a €30m release clause so wouldn't matter if we're hated. Can't see him leaving a CL team though.

If every club hate another club for buying a player or manager there would never be any transfers done. Fazio had a buy out clause they inserted right? And there were no problems in getting Ramos

Aren't Spanish release clauses completely pointless to foreign clubs though? We'd have to pay 30M + a hefty amount of Income Tax.

Sorry mods, way off topic.. will spoiler if that helps :p

On Ramos:

"The way that Ramos flew the coop and abandoned his team en route to London last year totally disrupted our season and now I'm pleased that Spurs are being paid back in kind over the Berbatov transfer. Their complaints are hypocrisy personified," Del Nido said in the Evening Standard.

Del Nido also hit out at Levy over his attempts to sign Spain international Diego Capel from Sevilla.

"For months now they've [Spurs] been trying to sign Capel and sending emissaries to try and persuade us to sell," explained Del Nido.

"We told them what our understanding of the player's worth was and therefore what the minimum we would demand in order to let Capel go.

"But it appears they couldn't pay that price so they didn't get him. I must admit that if it had been any other team (than Spurs) the price I'd have quoted to sign Capel would have been lower.

On Fazio:

"The player has a contract and the money may have been deposited with La Liga, but it is not in Sevilla's coffers.

"I don't understand what the player is doing in England. He will leave, but he will leave when his contract is terminated and it hasn't been yet.

"Obviously we are angry. I'm not going to go into details regarding certain things about Fazio. I don't want to, it won't lead to anything.

"They've paid £8million for him, which is his buyout clause. We'll see if they have to pay more for him according to the rules."

Excuse my ignorance, why do Sevilla hate us?

Their former president Jose Maria del Nido once described Daniel Levy as "hypocrisy personified" for complaining about other clubs tapping up our players, as del Nido reckoned that was exactly how we conducted our business.

Del Nido is currently serving a 7 year jail sentence for embezzlement & corruption.

Levy'd.

Can anyone think of an anagram or something from "Rapae" or "Brassicae" ?

There are two butterflies, the large white and the small white which are both known as the cabbage butterflies. Their most known names are Pieris Brassicae and Pieris Rapae. Pieris may be related to the grocer part also
