Athletico madrid in for damiao, if they get him that is just a mockery on us

Levy needs to hurry up and make his move

They will have Falcao money so price will be inflated. So much for hanging out for a cheaper price for so long over and over, genuinely decent players will prove to be just that and get more expensive.

They can offer him champions league football aswell. This guy always linked with us nothing comes of it, be the same again here. Athletico will bid we won't then be to late. Same old story. why spurs don't do early transfer is beyoud me.

Bucks

Rumours rumours, if he's going anywhere I reckon we will get 1st refusal but just depends if levy messes around or talks get complicated again

Plus I would of thought that atletico would be more interested in torres

Atletico Madrid may well get 50 million from the sale of Falcao, but they're 400 million in debt. They're in a position of selling, not buying.

He is pump anyway! If he is so great then why has no other team really gone for him?

Muller

Should go for Jackson Martinez that bloke is sick bruv!

I may not be down with the kids but what did those last 2 posters say? Lol

Athletico were in debt last season when they bought Falcao for €40m. Didn't stop them then, won't stop them now. They believe the best way to get out of debt, is similar to the Arsenal way of developing talent and selling it on for profit, whilst still maintaining a good position in the league.

I didn't say Athletico would sign him at an inflated price but, regardless of their overall financial position, a selling club will be asking them for top-whack knowing they've sold a player at £50m = price likely to be inflated for other interested parties.

Break down of the Real Madrid bid for Bale, as taken from the Spanish press.

I have no idea whether or not the bid has been/will be accepted/rejected - this is just the detail of the reported bid of 75 million Euros which is roughly £65 million.

Real want to pay 50 million Euros for Bale, the lump sum paid over 4 years. This is typical of continental transfers (and most Premiership transfers until recently). The rest of the 25 million is payable depending on clauses, Real winning trophies etc etc

No mention of player exchange {Ed001's Note - don't the FFP rules limit the amount of time to pay off a transfer to 3 years? I can't remember off the top of my head, just wondering if anyone else knows, or whether I will need to look it up again when I get the chance later?}

Rubbish again

Ed - you are right but it applies to Premiership internal deals only. FFP doesn't affect Euro clubs

Damiao has been seen in north London

Why allow any team pay in instalments. if they want the player they can stump up the money. If they can't do that they can't afford him.

You are very much mistaken about damaio being seen in north london.

He is in east london, oracle is showing him around the Olympic stadium!

It's true, damaio is in North london.
He was last seen, buying chips, in elvis's fish and chip shop.

Ffp doesn't affect euro clubs? What?

Jimbo

Would of love to seen oracles face when I posted 'oracle seen in north London" what a picture that would of been lol

Re: above comment.

Pretty much every transfer for years has been paid in installments. It how deals are arranged.

A good example was Villa paying Sunderland £26 million for bent. Sunderland fans would have you believe they pocketed the lot but the fact is that £19 million was paid to Spurs because Sunderland hadn't finished paying for him.

Dont know why fans are so obsessed about this.

When you hear the phrase "up front" in transfer terms it means the main transfer sum being paid over a series of months or years

Spurs fans will believe anything I can't believe people agreed my made up post about Damiao lol

'spurs fans will believe anything'

Now read the posts after your made up comment fella, not one post has taken any real notice or believed your post.
I don't think 'spurs fans will believe anything'
I think, you 'want to read what you want to read' and 'you really need to get a girlfriend'

I said people hit 'agree' on my made up post looks like you read what you want to hear fella lol

It wasn't "people" hitting the agree, it was you refreshing the page and boosting your own post quite sad actually.
