Summer 2013 Transfer Thread

[Nightcat]

Hey Nighty, care to answer my question from the other thread: Please explain why Papadopoulos is a bargain at 15m?

 

Because I think he has world class potential.

 

I don't want to pay Chelski for the privilege of developing one of their rentboys.

 

I wouldn't mind us "developing" Mata for a season or two.

[ngogswilly]

This thing about Moses is though nobody cares that hes not a marquee signing. I couldn't give a fuck if a player costs 30 million or 3 million. As long as hes good enough.

 

Right now we need a top player to come into the team in an attacking position.

 

Moses is decent and honestly is more effective than Downing whos place he'd be taking. But hes not a top player.

 

He might just might come in to the team and hit the ground running and prove to be a masterstroke. But I don't think he will.

Mata maybe but they can fuck off with Moses, I don't want his mistakes in the team until he finds his feet and them fucks off back to Chelski.

This Mata talk confuses me greatly

 

Can anyone fathom why Chelsea would want rid? He is genuinely a fantastic footballer (is that not a commonly held view?)

 

We've certainly been turned down by far worse this summer

 

I can't see any possibility of this happening but would be a hell of a signing if true

 

He's a good player; but he is no Xavi or Iniesta, who I guess are the standard for Spanish midfielders as well as the special one.

[Randy Marsh]

Spurs in for mata according to BBC. Bale money or not, we've made a considerable savings this summer on transfers and the wage bill. If the story from the club is to be believed then we should have no problem in matching Spurs's offer.

[JermainePennant]

On Mata what other top clubs have the money required to get him if he is available?

 

Maybe the mancs but I don't think they'd be in for him, if he is available I think it is very realistic we could get him.

 

He was willing to come here before he went to Chelsea and needs to be playing this season for the world cup, every Spanish player will be desperate for a place in first team.

[JermainePennant]

With that ultimate endorsement I would say sign him. He'll do a good job for us; no doubt better than Downing. He can score gols, has enough tools in his arsenal to open up defences, has pace and is strong enough for the league. A marquee signing doesn't have to be Latino and ridiculously expensive.

Should have known them cunts would be in but I don't believe we would loose out to any player to spurs if we matched there highest wage offer.

 

There is also the rivarly with spurs and Chelsea and I'm pretty sure Mata knows lfc is bigger club then spurs.

[TheHitman]

Spurs' wage bill will be going through the flaming roof.

 

 

 

I bet that is the first thought going through a spurs fans mind.I hope they write a letter complaining.

 

Dear Mr Levy stop buying good players and we would prefer you take the approach of our North London neighbours and Mr Henry. The Liverpool board feel Lamela is too expensive and why should you pay a bit more for quality and if you spend an extra few million on wages we might go bankrupt.

 

After years of penny pinching I do not agree that with Liverpool and Arsenal looking vulnerable and 4 new new managerial changes from the top 7 now is not the time to be extravagant there is no value in the market, save the money till Jan, I beg you do no risk our future.

 

I really do not want to see one of the best young players in world football arrive at the lane as I am worried about the wages to earnings ratio, yours faithfully disgruntled Dave from Chessington end.

[Reacher]

If Mata is available to buy and we don't go balls out for him there's something massively wrong with the club as he'd be an excellent signing.

[Red Bird]

As will the quality of the first team so no worries there.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

They're being linked with all these top players. I've only seen them sign one.

[moof]

Mata loves living in London

Cunt.

Cunt.

 

Hey! Fuck you buddy

[Sangria]

Probably settled and no major upheaval, it makes sense if you were in his shoes.

 

Pity as he a quality player and he does seem surplus, very strange.

[Sangria]

I meant to add I see him moving abroad if anywhere, him being a big success at another London club would not look good.

[Major Tom]

I bet that is the first thought going through a spurs fans mind.I hope they write a letter complaining.

 

 

I guess the inference was - for the slower among you - questioning the sustainability of this splurge.

 

Is it CL or bust? Or has Lewis morphed into the latest sugar daddy owner?

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Hey! Fuck you buddy

 

I'll leave you here, you one shoe cocksucker!

Gotta love austerity.

[TommyW]

Chelsea supposedly signed Willian to weaken Spurs, now they might sell them Mata?

 

None of this makes any sense, I predict Mata starts tonight

Good point. Levy is a massive cunt.

[Dr. J]

"Chelsea have reiterated Juan Mata is not available for transfer this summer despite the imminent arrival of Willian. Spurs have been mooted as having some interest in the player, but will be knocked back if that is formalised. Chelsea are also confident that Willian will get a work permit on Wednesday to conclude that transfer."

 

Looks like the chavs just closed the window.

The bastards might just be spending the increased tv money to increase wages seems like a good idea to me and the Bale money will cover say 80% of their eventual transfer spend. Hope this helps you as you seem a bit confused if you consider that a splurge.

 

The Premier League is close to finalising its deals which will bring a total of around £5.5 billion in broadcasting rights for 2013-16. That is £2 billion more than the current deal.

 

The league champions next season can expect to earn close to £100 million in broadcast earnings while the bottom club can expect their earnings to go up from £39.8 million, which Queens Park Rangers picked up this season, to around £63 million.

 

The way the Premier League distributes its TV money means half of the total cash from the domestic deals is divided equally between the member clubs, and all of the overseas broadcasting income is also split equally.

 

A further 25 per cent of domestic TV income is split as merit money depending on where each club finish in the league, and the final 25 per cent is paid in ‘facility fees’ for each time a club’s matches are shown on television in the UK.

 

For that reason, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur both earned more than Chelsea despite finishing below their capital rivals in the table because both appeared in more live TV games.

Clubs were further guaranteed a minimum of £5.78 million for live TV and highlights appearances.

 

Manchester United earned the most from these facility fees, totalling £12.9  million from 25 live appearances.

 

Some £88 million was paid out in parachute payments to clubs relegated over the last three seasons.

It doesn't help really, TH, as you're clearly making up figures.
