Allen done for Liverpool.
Loan signing next, not sure who. We've put in offers for Affelay and Sahin but not overly confident.
We still have Lewis Holtby, Walcott and Dempsey on our shortlist but how much moeny we have without selling is unclear.
If the owners and MD suceed in basically forcing Agger out in the same style Newcastle did with Carroll for the payday. We would defo sign more and a centre back would obviously be added to the shopping list.
The Allen deal isn't as expensive as being reported. It has only cost us £10m in a cash fee to be paid in installments and then there s £5m worth of add ons based on Allen's performance and Liverpools as well. Looking at these unless Allen really is top draw, very little of this £5m will be paid for a very long time.
The deal because of the way it has been structured is not as bad as I first thought but Jenkins is very keen for Swansea fans to not know about the complexities of the fee paid etc. With a midfield 3 of Gerrard, Allen, and Lucas we will be a lot stronger than last seasons Henderson, Adam, Lucas or Spearing.
He is a big Everton fan and a Arsenal fan as well and it would a step down considering he is playing in the CLThe player is interested to come because of family in the area on his Dads side. However, Schalke are resisting and asking too much money due to Raul leaving, so I think he'll stay for this season at least. Arsenal are also interested in him.
Whaaaa...?He is a big Everton fan and a Arsenal fan as well and it would a step down considering he is playing in the CL
Hes a evertonian but he admired Henry and the way they played footballWhaaaa...?
found this over in gg few minutes ago!!!
Spanish TVE 1 news has just said that Tottenham will accelerate the sale of Modric over the weekend as they have come to an agreement with Bilbao to sign Llorente. Not a wind up..
prob bull
He'll cost a lot more than that and the Napoli have said that he won't be sold this summer.
Their negotiating a new deal and the chairman says he'll let Cavani rot if his demands our outrageous.
