Would anyone consider........ Balotelli ( spelling)
On loan..... He would come with a mission to prove manchini wrong....
A bit of a head case but on the pitch with his football head he has ability..... Could what we need
Mr g {Ed002's Note - He is not available for a loan.}

Believable1 Unbelievable11

Not at all. The only thing he is good at is letting himself and his club down.

A great striker when he wants to play. But he's not worth it with all the baggage that would come with him. We can get a lot better for the same price

I get what you all say.... But rather the money spent on him the hopper £8-£10 mil might get him
Also a big factor it's a circus at city and full of pre madonnas so maybe a club like ours might be good for him to calm down and he is only 22

Lol can you see Ade and Ballotelli getting along ..2 sulking prima donnas up front to compete with JD ...I don't think so.

Agree10 Disagree1

Thank god mr g has no dealings in our signings !

b/s

Agree6 Disagree0

Id never want him at spurs, young manager young staff with him acting like he does wouldn't work, negrado i'd be happy

Agree5 Disagree1

He is off to AC Milan so forget about him. They love players like him with attitude and arrogance. He is potentially brilliant, but not the sort of player AVB can manage anyway.

Hi All,

BBC sport reporting that were going to sign willian.. on the 10 transfers to watch out for on deadline day!

Thoughts?

Many Thanks

Andre

Won't happen!

Agree8 Disagree4

No chance!

Agree7 Disagree2

Yeah I'd be happy with that do you think you can get it past Daniel though?

Agree3 Disagree2

Yes defo... levy is a bit tight but with spurs announcing losses of 4.3 mil you might think he doesn't want to spend...but to avoid further losses in the future spend 18mil on willian will increase shirt sales.. also he wants guaranteed champs league to make sure of tv revenue from champs league so 18 mil for a player who will guarentee us champs league is worth it. Also tv sport does write rubbish!

Many Thanks

Andre {Ed002's Note - The increased shirt sales money does not go to Spurs. The money from shirt sales goes to the manufacturer, the distributor and the retailer, who can make extra adding numbers and names to the shirts. If the club are the retailer (club shop, club website etc.) then they get the retailers cut. The manufacturer (Adidas, Warrior, Nike etc.) pay the club an amount each year which allows them to manufacture and sell the shirts using the correct logos etc.. That is how they justify the money given to the club. So if you walk in to a high street store and buy a Liverpool or Arsenal shirt - nothing goes to the club. There are a few clubs that have negotiated different deals with manufacturers (Real Madrid with Adidas and Barcelona with Nike are the two obvious examples) based upon joint reselling ventures. So the income from shirts is fixed to the £xM or whatever Adidas, Nike etc. pay the club plus a small amount for reselling through the club retail outlets (shop, web).}

Agree0 Disagree3

Celtic also have a similar deal with Nike, due to the high volume of shirt sales in the UK, Australia, Canada and the US.

For those that are Worried....

Levy will revitalise the squad with one/two fresh faces to ensure we get 4th spot. It takes one fresh face to re-energize the efforts of the players and boost the confidence which Daniel Levy and Andre will do.

We will not spend anything above 16-18m for these players.

Expect a striker from a cash strapped La Liga.
When clubs need money there's no better negotiator then Mr Levy.

Despite 2 attempts with Holtby the 3rd will no doubt be a success. Levys predictable final words will be "some money is better then no money".

The Channeller.

Well "if" I was worried; I fail to see how those scrambled words which are clearly figments of your imagination - would ever be of any comfort?

It is broadly written that we our offensive options are weaker then our competition; if the Club want to improve that situation they have a number of days to do so.

Time will tell - so no abstract words of comfort is needed;

Thank you!

Hooper on Wednesday done deal so people are saying

Avb has stopped Livermore moving to QPR, presumably because of Sandro's injury, makes me think no midfielders will be arriving this Jan. WE NEED A FORWARD!!! but we all know that don't we, don't hold your breath though.

Believable3 Unbelievable6

Still a few days to go ...if Levy can get Holtby in watch Jake go out on loan nd get the games and chance to show he can make it or be sold in the summer.

Agree3 Disagree2

Jake Livermore will probs go Qpr deadline day. He isn't going to let him go yet could easily use him for 2moros game against Leeds United

Heard with have bid for min from Hamburg and in talks with negredo what do you think eds {Ed001's Note - you have held talks over both. I believe you had at least one bid rejected by Hamburg, but not sure if you have improved that bid or not.}

Believable5 Unbelievable2

I believe Son will be a decent sigining if the offer is around 10-15m
Heard HSV is in financial difficulties...
So maybe we could sign him for a good price
