He's going to Madrid, and only Madrid. This is just to delay the inevitable even longer. Would laugh if he didn't cos of how much it would annoy you Only reason it would annoy me is because I would be proven to be wrong. I don't like being wrong. Luckily I rarely am. I despise him and he just seems like another unnecessary luxury Real Madrid don't need. I also really like di Maria and would hate to see him forced out. Would much rather a striker was brought in, but I think they're waiting until next year when Falcao/Suarez could become available.

Moyes basically said we're bidding for Bale, highly unlikely we get him but still like the ambition.

Really hope we don't sell him to United. Would cement is as a selling club, rather than a dream move to Madrid which is something completely different. I doubt Bale would want to go, nor would Levy want to sell to a rival.

Hope Bale moves to Manchester United and then moves next door to Titch. Would be funny.

What happened to Tottenham signing Alen Halilović and Tin Jedvaj? I see Jedvaj has since joined Roma, but from what I've heard it would be a good bit of business signing Halilović. Seeming like they are close on Lamela, too. A tremendous talent.
Looks like we're done in the transfer market now. Cannot see Jol bringing anyone else in, and to be fair we've done well with the business we have done. Just wish we would sign some younger players.

We've had a bid accepted for Alfreð Finnbogason by Heerenveen. Anybody know much about him? All I know is he has a tremendous scoring record and Marco Van Basten labelled him as good as he was at the same age.
He attended a few of our games last season too.

Arguably the stand out, out and out striker in the Eredivisie this season along with Graziano Pelle. Looks a really good talent, was linked with Celtic this summer but think he can do better than SPL's standard.

He had a great game against Ajax on Friday night. Would be a really useful signing.

Seeming like they are close on Lamela, too. A tremendous talent. Halilovic was close, but Roma pipped us. I heard we'd agreed a package for both to be transferred in the same deal, but nothing much seems to be happening with Jedvaj from things I've read.

Malky has said we're not after him but their chairman says they have accepted a bid from us. Strange. We're close on Jefferson Montero though and reportedly after Isaac Cuenca from Barcelona... Could be exciting times before deadline day. Still think we're a defender short though.

Makes me sick the kind of money promoted teams are able to piss away these days -_-

That £6m on Fletcher was quite a bit of money

Wolves paid 6 and a half ( offering skint Hibs more than 3mil lol), so we more than got back what we spent that season in transfer fees. Now we're no better off than we were before promotion and you've got the likes of QPR, Cardiff and Southampton going crazy.

We built an entire squad two seasons ago for like less than 5 million and look where we are now.

hope all this talk of Mata leaving Chelsea isn't true :/ Mata is just being rested, after the confederations cup he didnt have much pre-season rest so Mourinho is making sure he gets some now. He'll be back no way Jose will sell imo their best player.
