Summer Transfer Window 2017

[Pour les Bleus]

Spurs pay a base low wage, with very high bonuses - including some which are very very easy to hit the targets to activate

Yeah, so in reality as long as the players perform as expected they'll be earning way more than what Everton and teams below us (with a few exceptions) are paying their players.

Big Vic and Ennerton Valencia

We should bring Vic in for his previous Europa league experience, he didn't do too badly and I think it could be his chance to shine.

A goal from a set piece is worth the same as one from open play though

unless you're Roberto Martinez, in which case a goal from a set piece is cheating!

I think if we play to his strengths we could have a 7-10 goal a season striker...

Effectively aye, easy enough to check by the fact spurs wage bill per season is massively higher than ours despite comparable base wages

I doubt it. Spurs have won nothing! Why would their best players stay for 70k a week when they see their fellow England internationals earning double in the same city or over in Manchester? Perhaps their players are on huge performance bonuses too alongside their relatively low standard wage.

Probably. And they might get ichy feet at some point if they don't win anything.

But look at Atletico Madrid. I don't think they've got players on huge wages and for the most part keep their Koke' and Gabi's due to competing.

He's terribly underrated, could pick him up fairly cheap.

Are we sure Spurs genuinely pay their players about two thirds less than the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal, etc? I'm sure their players all enjoy playing for them, but would they really stay at a club on comparatively tiny contracts when inferior players at other clubs are earning millions more? I've never believed that Spurs have such a small wage budget.

Here's the wages from the official accounts from all the clubs... we pay about half the wages of Arsenal. There's a huge gap from the big 5 back to us. These include bonuses etc.

 

[CRIMHEAD]

It was but I suspect that's why he did. That was his first this season.

That is why he did it. Baines is our penalty taker. Is this an actual discussion?

Apparently so.

Just shows how we need to up her game, massivley.

...apparently we've bid £500k for 18 year old Josh Bowler from QPR (source - Team Talk).

He's terribly underrated, could pick him up fairly cheap.

He could take us to the next level if he's given the opportunity...

...Sky News saying Swansea refute that they have agreed a fee for Sigurdsson. The owner wants him to stay.

 

[Armel]

Think he wants to stay by all accounts, but the problem is his wife wants out of Italy and has already left and living back home in Belgium mate.

Career wise he is working for the perfect manager for him and don't see this seasons form being replicated elsewhere

Would still have him though an amazing little player

What I thought the latest development was that he cheated on her. I should try and keep up. Yesterday she was present at the gala for the Belgian Jupiler Pro League Footballer of the year (Tielemans won) without him so I think it's over. Maybe she got a picture with Martinez.

They confirmed btw that Tielemans is doing his medical today/tomorrow in Monaco.


Oh Dendoncker seems to want out btw (https://m.hln.be/sport/voetbal/belg...mann-60-kans-dat-ik-naar-man-utd-ga~a7da2d60/ ) , the Anderlecht manager confirmed that they'll receive multiple bids from European top clubs but that they'll try and keep him but that they don't want an argument with the player. Man U seems to want him as the Carrick (Michael) successor.
