sorry i'm just doing my cuticles rn

So is suedey, with his teeth iirc

I bit my finger

Spurs are still yet to sell Gareth Bale to Real Madrid and Sky Sports News have confirmed the reason why.

According to their report, Daniel Levy is delaying Bale’s move so Arsenal can’t bring in Madrid winger Angel Di Maria until after the North London Derby.

CONFIRMED

Shit just got real

bilbao are as awkward as ever

£25m is not an unreasonable fee for ander

real just got shit

the money's less important when you don't have anyone to spend it on though

no i wouldnt sell him either but the same principle applied to llorente was stupid

Whats happened to llorente? Is he already being deemed a failure at Juve? I like his eyes

"struggling to adapt to the Italian lifestyle"

It can't be that different can it?

he was already foreign

iirc from cm4 it is v much a thing damn u massimo maccarone

lamela confirmed

Bale semi kind of almost confirmed

let's be honest if the Madrid falls thru now they're taking Bale to Cash Converters come Tuesday

xxp Lamela looks great, that or all the goals he scored were incredible one offs

the next Bale

lamela is good enough to play rw for barcelona
slight misgivings about his temperament and a relative plenitude of winger/forwards probably only reason he isn't playing in the cl

two reasons then

His nickname is Coco! I like him already

Brief me on Sakho

solid

what's the issue with his temperment? thought it was a good sign that he didn't appear to be angling for a move and had a good relationship with the roma fans. the only negatives i've read about him are 1) hangs on to the ball too long and 2) doesn't do much defensive work.
xxp

talented but raw, further marginalized by marquinhos' signing, still don't see why they would sell him when they don't need to and his upside is highish

Oooh, Bild saying Schalke are in for Adebayor as well? Transfer news is practically all Spurs related

I'm not sure Real need to have a fire sale to pay for Bale anyway and even if they did they wouldn't be sitting around waiting for the deal to be finalised anyway.

that is the most obviously shit rumour of this window

Nah I think Real should play with a midfield and strike force that consists entirely of Ronaldo and Bale

di maria is the only one possibly gettable but even so it doesn't make a lot of sense for arsenal to buy him when they have walcott

he's a better player than theo but they need a goalscorer in that position

Arsenal should buy Bale

seriously, it would tie up every loose end

some shit about barcelona looking at mangala

Di Maria could play on the left though couldn't he? They're a bit lacking there atm, still seems an odd one though in terms of what they actually need

I guess Kaka will go too, but who knows where, wouldn't expect anyone else to leave Real tho

not really customary for them to buy this late but their halfassed 'throw bids at every vaguely barcelona friendly defender' routine does betray an urgent need for some cunt who isn't alex song

kaka still seems thinks he has a chance of playing in the world cup so if he leaves it's probably to someone who will play him regularly, not another big team

That makes Arsenal a possibility then

sakho was v highly rated a few years back, can we get a quick update, and if still so then why move to liverpool

He's left it a bit late to agitate though. Are e.g. West Brom really going to be able to put that deal together over the weekend?

xxp, this window moves so fast

odemwingie pulls up to bernabeu carpark to camp out awaiting swapsies

Trying to remember at what point Arteta, Mertesacker et al started being mentioned last time Arsenal got themselves in this sort of situation - it was actually on deadline day wasn't it? They could just as easily get nobody

A broken down second hand Kaka would still be pretty good for most teams though, wouldn't it?

The title race begins here
