2013 Summer Transfer Thread

I also found this one funny:

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/willian-transfer-tottenham-believe-chelsea-2214240

"The north Londoners are convinced that Blues owner Roman Abramovich was persuaded to blow apart the Willian deal because boss Mourinho fears Spurs are now ­credible rivals for the Premier League crown."

This belief would...make them feel better...maybe?

Tottenham express outrage after Chelsea hijack Willian transfer

Yeah, because no one's ever expressed outrage about having a transfer target hijacked before.

Honestly if Spurs get Willian AND Lamela I will stop finding them boring and outright want them, and everyone associated with them, to die in a fire.

There is absolutely no fucking need for both of those players. That shit is just greedy.

Consider what team Nerf supports and then reassess the reason for his enjoyment.

[Jimmy]

To be fair, I saw that article this morning, rolled my eyes and hoped we could get away with not having it mentioned here. It's a pretty silly way to deal with everything and definitely 'make fun' worthy.

Consider that it's Nerf.

[Colly]

Consider the lily. Ahhh.

Consider that stfu.

So, apparently the Bale fee is either £70mil up front or £86mil over 3 to 4 years. Theres a possibility of a player being thrown into the first deal to make it up.

Or those are Spurs choices anyway.

So despite the deal being already completely 100% confirmed to be imminent, nobody has any clue as to what the price of the deal is?

Come to think of it, has there been any confirmed source that any Real Madrid bid was over 60m?

[Jimmy]

If it's not they can fuck right off. 100 mil or no deal. Obviously.

[Cymbols]

Both of those options are good deals for Spurs. Who would the potential makeweight be anyways, Di Maria? Or Coentrao?

This is more often the case than not.

[Kaney]

I thought Coentrao didn't want to go to spurs?

[Nerf]

I thought Coentrao didn't want to go to spurs?

Can you blame him?

[brenchill]

If they get Di Maria, wow.

[Jimmy]

Di Maria and Lamela coming would be okay. Don't think Di Maria will happen, though.

Those two offers on the table are from the BBCs top correspondent.

...which is slightly more reputable than other media
