Absolutely terrible offer from them. Everton bought Fellaini for, £17.5m, Utd bid £12m just for Baines. That works out as them judging Fellaini as having lost some of his value.

As a United fan, the Everton offer makes no sense. It's way too low, Woodward seems to be doing nothing after disappearing for like a month.

We've just signed Scott Parker. Good signing, though we really do need to start integrating some younger players in to our squad.

A good deal for both parties. Takes our net spending down to about £36m for the summer I think. Great for us in his first year, but didn't recover well from his injury last year.

£10m for Cabaye? Wenger must be off his head!

Willian and Coentrao to Spurs? They are building quite a team over there.

Wish Bale would hurry up and leave, it's quite obvious that Spurs are planning things without him.

Imagine if he does a U-turn and stays. Our squad would be scary:
GK: Lloris, Friedel
RB: Walker, Naughton CB: Kaboul, Dawson, Vertonghen LB: Coentrao, Rose
CM: Sandro, Dembele, Holtby, Capoue, Paulinho, Carroll
RW: Lennon, Lamela CAM: Willian, Siggurdsson LW: Bale, Chadli, Townsend
ST: Soldado, Adebayor, Defoe
I may have even forgotten one or two as well. If we don't get top 4 then we'll have had a shocker. A trophy would be a Brucey bonus.

Can't see Bale staying. Levy wouldn't be spending the money he is if he wasn't getting a crazy sum for Bale.

Yeah but that's not taking into account the £50-60m plus wages for Willian, Lamela and Coentrao if those happen.

It's not, but Adebayor may possibly be leaving, which would free up lots of wages, and there's the new TV money. Might be wishful thinking, but who knows.

Lol at United valuing them at £14m each. Didn't they have a £16mil bid for Fellaini rejected earlier in the summer so must value Baines at less than £12mil lol. Arsenal have been by far the biggest entertainers of the summer though. Brilliant entertainment. I can't sleep at nights wondering how they can embarrass themselves further the following day by offering low ball amounts for who?

I really don't get the hype surrounding Willian btw. Lamela would be some coup though.
It's also being reported Spurs have turned down the chance to sign Coentrao in favour of more money in the Bale deal.

It's also being reported Spurs have turned down the chance to sign Coentrao in favour of more money in the Bale deal. I've read that Coentrao wanted more wages than Spurs could offer. I've also read that he's set to be included in the imminent completed deal. I just desperately hope we get him if Bale goes, would be an absolutely brilliant signing. I think Willian is being signed first as AVB has always seemed to rate him, and we need a bit of creativity in the number 10 position behind Soldado. Siggurdsson just provided a goal threat on occasions on Sunday, but not much creativity, which Soldado needs to feed on. Lamela would be an awesome buy, so fingers crossed for all of them! ;D

The new tv deal has really helped clubs outside the top 4 spend money and get some quality in.
I remember AVB saying he had a pre-Bake budget of £80m so its possible he's not spending the Bale money. Probably is though. If they get £90m or something they shouldn't even bother replacing him, use it to add another tier to a stand or something and increase their long term revenue.

We're building a new ground at the moment, so some of it will go towards that I bet. The aim to sustain the new stadium though is Champions League football, and with FFP coming in Joe Lewis has told Levy to get it sorted and make sure we finish in the Top 4. Fingers crossed we'll do that with some of the players we've signed and are rumoured to be signing.

Yeah I think some of the Bale money should definitely go to the new ground. Surely the new ground should sustain CL football, not the other way around?
Also noticed I said 'Pre-Bake budget', guess I missed a Spurs bake sale.
