Roma appear to have confirmed the Lamela deal.

I'm pleased about this one, I'd really like to have frequent opportunities to see Lamela play. Gonna be so easy to walk the league with Spurs in the new FM tho

confirmed by roma and player.

i am looking forward to a bit of balance in the team tbph

i feel that bale has been holding us back of late.

This is how you let go of your best player. We've pretty much spent the whole Bale fee now, right?

to within a mil or so by my calculations

and then 8m for chiriches on top tomoz too

ajaxinside ‏@ajaxinside 11m
Marc Overmars has confirmed that #Eriksen will talk with the Spurs about a move to London.

Eriksen at left back is a curious fuckin purchase but in avb i trust

this guys claims only 22 has been spent (before Lamela)

fullbacks the obvious weak (English) point in the squad

Look on arrys face now must be something to behold

If there's a St Totteringham's day this year abolish Spurs

Jamie Sanderson ‏@Sanderson 4h
Arsenal still negotiating with Mathieu Flamini over contract. Player yet to agree on wages. This one is dragging on.

Jamie Sanderson ‏@Sanderson 4h
Flamini being represented by infamous Darren Dein. Italian media reckons he wants £75,000-a-week to re-join Arsenal

Gonna be egg on some faces round North London on St Totteringham's day this year

I'm surprised there's been no apparent attempt to move on BAE all things considered so maybe he's in AVB's plans after all.

Despairing that I'm having to pin all my hope on managing to resign Flamini

But Ramsey gonna be player of the season rite

Also Nani to Juve appears to be a thing.

I will be fucking fuming if that's true

so whats going to happen to kagawa

not going to sell him probably but is he going to play

such a waste

Matt, we've been trying to offload BAE for a while now, the recent talk has been about sending him to Roma possibly in a swap for Balzaretti

I will be fucking fuming if that's true

Well, you say that, but unless we start shipping out some midfielders I don't see how we're going to keep Bale, Ronaldo, Mata and Fabregas happy this season.

If you want a Little Pea let me see them dollar signs

Link title deserves a ✓

liverpool apparently starting the bidding for andriy yarmolenko, before he goes somewhere else.

never seen him play but i demand he is signed.

He's really good! Surprised he hasn't moved already.

Off-topic but, Jonathan Wilson on Sky Sports News just now, very weird.

Bolton chairman Phil Gartside has admitted that he duped Manchester City into paying for Dietmar Hamann in 2006.

Hamann was in the talkSPORT studio and Gartside was speaking on the station as he recalled: 'The full story never actually came out.

'What happened was Didi signed for us on a free transfer from Liverpool, came in, signed the papers, and then, for whatever reason, decided it wasn’t for you and that you wanted to reconsider.

'We said to you, "I’m sorry about that, but you’ve signed" but what you never realised was that we never actually countersigned the papers and just put them in the drawer.

'The next thing we know, you came along and told us you’d got this opportunity to go to Manchester City – so we actually sold you without actually signing you, did you know that?

'We got £400,000 from Manchester City for a player we never actually signed. And that’s the truth.'

The Hamann deal was sometimes referred to by then-Bolton manager Sam Allardyce as 'the best he has ever done.'

Hamann seemed understandably surprised in the studio and mumbled: 'I didn't know that, we might need to get in touch with City.'

What was weird xp? You can't drop that and not follow up

lamela kind of has a creepy face

What was weird xp? You can't drop that and not follow up

weird seeing him on sky sports news. he was talking tactics, intelligently.

isn't that hamann thing... fraud?

Lamela looks a little like van Persie in some photos.

yeah Gartside appears to be bragging about some kind of criminal or at least contract law ish. he'll probably just have to say "soz I was trying to look big on the TV" and retract it, i guess.

Just realized something v v important

Who bought Bale for Spurs at the time?

And who made Eriksen a first team player at Ajax?

Oh yes. JOL!

oh on the radio sorry.

pretty sure there's precedent for assuming anything said on talkSPORT is bullshit

commoli not jol

spoil sport

commoli not jol

he did well at liverpool too.

allegedly Spurs were trying to tempt Utd into an Hernandez + cash deal for Bale. Which is where the mystery second bidder thing came from

Hernandez would just be an upgrade on Defoe and not really a first-teamer, so I'm struggling to see why the player would go for it.

lol hernandez is more like soldado than defoe

no coincidence valencia tried to get him (optimistically) on loan because he is as good a like for like replacement as there is

what % of his goals does hernandez score from headers like

has anyone watched chiriches (sv?)
