Does nobody find it strange that Villa accepted his transfer request with what seems to be little or no fuss?
Not really, as they seem pretty resigned to losing him. Accepted his transfer request, allowed him extra time off, have already considered what price they value him at, etc.

I like Destro at Roma

Osvaldo

Soldado

Abel Hernandez

Jovetic

Pierre Aubameyang!!! This is 100% the guy we should get!

Wilfred Bony ! Similar scoring rate in holland to Suarez in a worse team!

Hate to disappoint but hadn't PEA gone to Dortmund?

I think they were probably half expecting it on the back of last season. Lerner would probably welcome the funds and Lambert can add to his young squad with the fee he is likely to command.

and Bony is joining Swansea.

Osvaldo has serious question marks over his attitude.

A couple of ITKs have said that we have enquired about Saldado.

I think Fiorentina want something like 30m+ for Jovetic. No chance.

Or they told him to hand it in if he wanted a transfer. That way Benteke gets his transfer and Villa don't have to pay him a big bag of dosh.

Bony hasn't joined Swansea yet. You can guarantee that we will be linked to him for stupid money after he rips it up for Swansea next season as well.

I like Destro at Roma - Same age, 27 goals, 75 apps! Not even close to the track record required.

Osvaldo - Aged 27 and would cost the same.

Soldado - 28, would cost the same and won't be coming to to Tottenham!

Abel Hernandez - Fair record, but serie A is not the Premier League. Hello Borini.

Jovetic - Signed for £8m in 2008, what makes you think he'd be any better value?

Pierre Aubameyang!!! This is 100% the guy we should get! - Already gone to Dortmund hasn't he?

Wilfred Bony ! Similar scoring rate in holland to Suarez in a worse team! Could be a reasonable bet, but could he cut it in the Prem? He's not Suarez is he?

Quite how you've determined some of those to be better value escapes me.

I was expecting this argument, but Bale has had more than 1 good season, plus we bought him when he was 17, Benteke is 22...

That's why I made it over 4x the price.;)

"He's had a few good seasons, Spurs should be happy with more than quadrupling what they paid."

It may well escape you but obviously I rate my judgement above yours so its no surprise to me that it escapes you. A fair few things probably do!

Cheeky! Well, you forgot the add-ons. ;)

1 season wonders are plentiful, whilst consistent talent is always worth far more.

Plus, Bale is just better isn't he!?
