I think the fact that we're guaranteed an extra £30m a season over the next few, before CL even comes into it, would cover it simply enough. No need to overthink it.


I think we need to simplify it for people, here goes..

ITS THE FUCKING TV MONEY!

Nothing should ever be based on IF we get Champions League. That's Risdale economics. What IF we don't get Champions League?

Saying all this I would fucking love it if we signed Soldado.


We've spent the last dozen windows complaining about what a tight **** Levy is... No chance he's turned into a gambler overnight. I don't know if we can afford 25m for Soldado or not, but if we sign him it means that we can.

As they were when we qualified for the CL (and didn't spend 20m on a striker).

This just seems like one of those deals which we get carried away about because of the roller coaster ride that is the transfer window but if you step back and look at it rationally it seems very unlikely.

So why is Baldini out there if its so unlikely? That makes no sense.

Look I'm not saying cast Iron he's ours yet, nobody knows that. But we aren't sending Baldini out there to offer them a derisory offer.

He's out there because we are very serious about getting him. We still have to show due diligence and get the best possible deal for the Club.

OR... he's been saving up! I did that once and got a bronze award from abbey national.

It would be in line though with the Itk we've had this summer that suggests the club are willing to spend big

There is always ITK about takeovers and big spending. We're not the only club. Look at arsenal 'after' Rooney. It seems like a summer exercise to placate the fans and feed them with hope for next season.

It's like a Beatles album, got to play it backwards to find the hidden message. Look at the last paragraph again:

El Tottenham no es la única 'novia' que le ha salido a Soldado en Inglaterra. El Liverpool también sondea su fichaje pero parece que los 'spurs' se han apresurado en la operación y le han tomado ventaja. Yenom fo stol uoy evig ew. Laer rof ngis, elab hterag.

Best part about your post is that I kept reading past the English part. I was thinking to myself, "what the fuck does 'ajatnev odamot nah el' mean?!" :confused:

I told myself not to get excited about itk again this window, but i cant help myself. Saldados finishing and movement is something we havent seen a spursstriker do since Berba!

I don't understand where we don't pay up for Benteke but we do pay up for Soldado unless Villa were firm with their £25m in full immediately and Valencia are more realistic on that front.

There you go, answered my own question.
