Napoli have made an approach for AVB apparently. Could he be tempted by champions league football? Don't do it Andre!

More chance of him agreeing to manage the Gooners than Napoli

P-to-the-S

Agree15 Disagree4

Just for a bit of fun

If you could would you swap AVB for cavani?

I know it's totally irrelevant and will never happen but just curious to people's views.

Samba

Agree6 Disagree8

Samba, tempting but having a young, ambitious manager could be better for us in the long run. He has added stability to this squad and with a few 'AvB signings' I have no doubt that this squad can push on next season.

The Channeller.

Agree4 Disagree7

Not going to lie there's a little bit of a temptation too say do it because I honestly think cavani's built for the prem and he's going to be a revelation for any club that convinces him too come here. But this season andre's grown on me so much I think I'd rather have him with full financial backing of the board. With full support I think avb's capable of winning anything, anywhere.

Any truth to the rumour that napoli have approached tottenham about avb becoming manager?

Bucks {Ed008's Note - No idea but his name doesn't end in M so I don't think he's a target for them.

Both soldado and damiao are part of a 36mil sweep by levy? I'd be happy with this, considering soldado bagged 22 this season. Think he would want CL football though.

Believable4 Unbelievable6

Paper talk mate.
It's silly season, they need to sell papers.
There will be loads of stories like this coming up.

Agree6 Disagree2

Really, we are going to be hearing this bulls**t for the next 3 months

Agree7 Disagree2

What Spurs buy a striker? yeah right

Agree9 Disagree2

Carlton Cole is available on a free

Sorted

KM

Agree9 Disagree1

COYI! I hear Carlton Cole is free now. you usually keep taking players from us

Agree1 Disagree1

Only the good young ones like Defoe and carrick who want better football and prospects coyi.
Where as, you get all the old stock like rebrov and teddy, popescu and Zamora. Shall I go on?

Agree4 Disagree0

Nothing wrong with Teddy
Legend

Agree6 Disagree0

I don't think the point is that they were bad players. I think the point was that wet spam had them after we had finished with them.

Let try and sort out the rumours on NewsNow it seem that every other line has a quote from some club or player on what is going to happen in the transfer window and most contradicts the previous.
1) Bale Hints that he is staying
2) Bale to sign new contact after trip to W Indies
3) Ramos expects Bale to be a R-M player next season
4) Moyes wants Giggs to convince Bale to sign for Manu
5) RM will not pay over 42m for Bale put to offer players in a swap deal only the players want CL
Reading all these shows where the Oracle must get his info.
Now the best of the lot is that Napoli has asked Spurs to let them speak to AVB about their vacant managers position, So who is up for next season as spurs manager.

Believable5 Unbelievable6

1) Bale is staying
2) Bale will sign new contract so Levy won't have to sell cheap
3) What does Ramos know lol
4) can't moyes ask himself lol. Giggs retiring soon
5) Spurs don't care at this time what money Real Madrid want to pay he's not for sale. If we want money we will contact Monaco haha

Agree12 Disagree6

Oh and napoli can speak to spurs about their vacant role not that we are interested, just like they won't be interested in gifting us cavani on a free transfer haha

Agree6 Disagree4

Also a lot of journalists will put players under the spotlight with surprise questions and then twist it to make it a headline. Imagine this scenario:

Ramos is doing an interview about RM's season. Nothing out of the ordinary when about 10 minutes in the journo says:


J: "So what do you think about Bale? Is he the sort of player you could see at Real?"

SR: "Yeah he's a great player, would definitely fit the style here. "

and the interview continues.



Then the next day the lead story is: Sergio Ramos says Bale would be a perfect fit for Real Madrid. It makes it sound like he has called his own press conference just to tap up Bale, or that he has some inside knowledge of deals when all he did was say a nice thing about another player when put on the spot.

Now I can't say that this definitely happened this time around, but it's the sort of crap journos pull all the time.

Seeing LOTS of reports that the Leandro Damiao deal will be done within the next 2 weeks. As much as I hope this is true i'm a bit worried that if it does happen I am going to have to delete this website from my favourites because The Oracle will be unbearable! LOL

Believable8 Unbelievable2

I wouldn't worry about that mate.
The oracle is a proven bs merchant and I suppose if you throw enough mud, some might stick.
He has said for 5 windows now that damaio is coming

Agree4 Disagree2

Don't worry Rich, even a broken clock is right twice a day

Agree13 Disagree1

Exactly, he has categorically stated on several occasions it is a done deal and that started AFTER there was a first reported interest in him several years ago.
Anyway, he hasn't signed yet and at £20m ish he is more of a gamble than the usual level with any new signing. Given Neymar might end up at £25m ish to Barca then is Damaio really worth £20m?
Simmo

Agree2 Disagree2

According to the express we are aiming to bring in Saldado (spelling?) to play alongside Damioa {Ed008's Note - Soldado and Damiao ;)

Agree5 Disagree2

If we were to get Damiao I would rather he comes sooner than later so he can get prepared for season ahead. It could take him time to adapt to premiership

Agree4 Disagree0

There is no way that levy will pay 20 million for Damiao. I assure you it will be much less than that with add-ons rising it to 20 million!

Agree3 Disagree2

As soon as it says, according to a paper, then don't believe it.
Where do you think oracle gets all his info.

Agree1 Disagree1

This time its true, we are closing in on a deal for Damiao.
