Happy fucking days
Given we are probably staggering payments for both Lamela & Eriksen, these deals are not straightforward when you consider the volatility of the Euro.
That goes for Bale to Madrid as well. Any 100M Euro deal can easily change from 85m it would be today to more like 80M by the time the payment is completed if we do not 'hedge' the risk.
Please do NOT drag us back into the merits, varifi-fucking-cation on if Bale was, could be, should be, is possibly being sold. That fucking dog has long ago run off.........
Next!
So it seems it was the Madrid players to Arsenal thing that delayed it a little. Good. On the flip side, I expect Arsenal to sign a couple of worldies now (from Madrid and elsewhere) but at least they won't be in the squad for Sunday.
6 excellent players in, transfer record broken 3 times. More to come. Amazing window. Unbelievable.
That's what fx forwards are for....
Joe Lewis pulled off some of the greatest FX trades by individual speculators in history....he has access

Edit - just re-read my post and in case it isn't clear, I meant it looks like we purposely delayed the announcements as long as we could so the knock on affect doesn't affect the NLD.
We are near top of 3 month range.Yeah, Lewis does know the odd trick when it comes to currencies. Another reason for the delay and I think this transfer is in safe hands financially
Wonder what the difference in £ would be between a figure of Eur100m at the bigging of the window and that same figure today
Carlton Palmer, can come out of retirement, I'm sure he'd fit Wenger's bugetOk Levy, give Wenger Carlton Cole's number. I know he has been begging you.
According to a quick google on rates, about £500k (1.16 @ July 1st vs 1.17 today) so not that much considering it's £85mYeah, Lewis does know the odd trick when it comes to currencies. Another reason for the delay and I think this transfer is in safe hands financially

And still the RO is like a graveyard. They must be out celebrating. Any ITK on Eriksen?
