Spurs going insane.
26m Soldado
10M Capoue
7.5m Chadli
30m Willian (deal close)
30m Lamela (deal close)

Bale to be sold for 107m. Insane

League ranking as in? Can you elaborate on that part?

Sure. At the end of every season UEFA ranks different countries and leagues through some calculations. I think they take into account the past 5 or 6 years. Something along those lines. Theres other things to consider too like cups won etc, im not exactly sure about their criteria.

The top 3 leagues are granted qualification for 4 teams ( top 3 in the group stage and 4th in the playoffs ). Top 3 at the moment are la liga, premiership and bundesliga. Which is why arsenal have to go through the playoffs being 4th last season. Italy are 4th or 5th i guess so they got 2 teams qualified for the group stages leaving 3rd placed milan from last season to fight it out through the playoffs. Turkey are lower ranked so only two teams qualify for the UCL, first placed get a group stage spot and second placed qualify through the playoffs.

That's not insane that's awesome business by Spurs.
What a team AVB is building now.

Neymar's first goal that too against Athletico in Super Cup first leg. Crucial away goal which cancelled Villa's goal :lol: yes villa scored in just 11minutes.

Xabi Alonso out for 3 months. He has broken metatarsal bone while recovering from groin injury during training.

Good Chance for Modric & Illramendi to cement there spot in the RM 1st playing eleven.

There are two other guys too Casemiro and Khedira.

Khedira is pretty much a first team regular player, while yeah great chance for Casemiro as well.

So bale is finally coming to Madrid .

Question is how many players who have been playing only in BPL and no league other than that in past has been successful outside england .
The big price will haunt him and madrid fans will put pressure on him , he will be compared to neymar by madrid fans , if neymar started banging goals they would demand same from him . That being said 93-94 mill still a big joke . If it would have been 80 that would make sense

- - - Updated - - -

Rumor is Madrid need 40 mill by selling some one to finance either the big money move of bale or ronaldo new contract or to buy suarez as well .

For that they offered ozil to utd but utd rejected ozil they don't want number 10 , they want Ronaldo in 60 mill move but madrid don't want to sell .
Now Rumor is Madrid might offload di maria , Benzema in 40 mill to arsenal and replace him with Suarez

yeah 93-94 M price tag is simply huge burden on Bale's shoulders when he finally completes his move to RM,
in the past many british have failed in La Liga specially @ RM like Michael Owen, Jonathan Woodgate, Steve Mcmanaman (or whatever his name is), Beckham was reasonably successful there. Also Jermaine Pennant had a lean spell @ Real Zaragoza

but was becks same as he was at man utd , the answer is no , it means there game falls when they leave , mark hughes was flop at barca but was hit again when he returned to man utd ,only lineker was decent at barca but still not as hot as he was in england .

 

[Zasmain]

Didn't perez said 85M too much for bale? Some days ago
Then why would they get him for 90+?
Makes sense?

 

[SEvolution]

99+M for bale and not even announce in the media so he can find a good LB and complete signing of Willian, Lamela and wouldn't have to over the top for the signings. Levy is a legend what a negotiator he is!

 

[SEvolution]

Kaka, D. Lopez and Benz got booed in Raul's farewell game against Al Sadd.

Willian is a top LW while Lamela is an incredible RW.
Both are top top players. Lamela is the future of Argentina.

Dont think Spurs can sign both of 'em. Lets wait and see.

And Real would be foolish to pay over 65m for Bale. And its not just about Levy, RM haven't taken a stance they're supposed to.
Bale doesnt has a 90+m buyout clause so they should've bid 65m and shouldve left it on Bale and Spurs.

No world class club pays so much for a player and im sure Bale wouldnt like to move to AS Monaco, PSG or Anzhi.
Remember AC Milan bought Balo for 18m approx.

Kaka, D. Lopez and Benz got booed in Raul's farewell game against Al Sadd.

Why Benz? And Kaka?

 

[SEvolution]

All's Bale that ends Bale - MARCA.com (English version)

Guys Guys Guys! It's almost done. LEVY WHY DON'T YOU ADD COENTRAO TOO!

We are about to hear record breaking transfer fee in the history of club footy beating CR7.



and.............. this jersey

Re: General Football Discussion Thread

Foolish move by Real Mardrid. Paying more than they did for C.Ronadlo for a player who is not at all on the same level :fp2:

 

[cobby]

When ronaldo was the most expensive sigining people said he deserve to be cause he was really big player .
But I don't see any one say bale deserve to be the most expensive sigining .

i wish levy was CEO of man utd than the commercial freak Woodward , but alas levy is to rich to be CEO he owns 27% of enic

I think we should also give credit to Franco Baldini the director of football @ Spurs.

Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo are mirror images as Real Madrid move nears | Mail Online

A Ronaldo wannabe. :umad:
