1320Lichtie Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Over 1 billion... A thousand million pounds, fucking unbelievable. Arse has surely got to burst out of this one day it's absolutely insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Those billion pounds don't actually exist though - a lot of that money is just swirling round between the clubs. Man City pay Everton £47m for Stones. Everton use that to buy Williams and Bolasie from Swansea and Palace. Palace use some of that to buy Benteke and Tomkins. Liverpool use some of the Benteke money to buy Mane from Southampton. West Ham use some of the Tomkins money to buy Ayew from Swansea. All of that is basically the same 50m quid, but it's being counted about 5 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a side effect of the EPL clubs flooding their youth set ups with youngsters from all around the world that probable wasn't thought of. If they've lived in England from about 16 yo onwards they'll be able to play for them in their early 20s. I'm sure the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, Man United/City would much rather have their players follow the European international break calendar than disappear to the Africa Cup of Nations or keep flying back to the Americas a few times a season so wouldn't be surprised if they used their influence to get them to become 'English'. The Premier League is guilty of fucking up many things football out of selfishness and greed so I don't see why they should restrict it only the club game.* None of these guys will be eligible to play for England. Having a British passport and residency in England isn't enough unless they have had 5 years of education in England before the age of 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres photos of Hart holding a Torino top going about, so assume hes gone. Hopefully he flops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkle Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I will be livid if Spurs waste £30 million on Sissokho. Boy is garbage. Waiting all summer for a move to Real Madrid? His agent must be on the gear to put that idea in his head. That money could be spent on someone like Isco etc. The Champions League for Spurs this season should be a bigger pull than ever if they wanted to sign top level players. Zaha and Sissokho?

Sissoko is definitely talented, but he hardly ever put a shift in for us in his final two seasons. Him and his agent seem to be banking on people watching him in the Euros and not bothering to watch the vast majority of his performances for Newcastle.

Dudu Dahan pal Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Apparently Spurs have cooled their interest in sissoko. Newcastle want 40 (FORTY) million for him and Spurs rate him at 17 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s_dog Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Re Wilshire, I'm sure I read an article somewhere that stated there were 30+ clubs across Europe that had expressed an interest in him. Then its either Palace or Bournemouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 He'd have to move house and adapt his game abroad though - much better to take the easy option. How much is he going to learn from Pardew and staying in London? Going to a Juventus or similar would have done wonders for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much is he going to learn from Pardew and staying in London? Going to a Juventus or similar would have done wonders for him. Was going to post something along those lines. When he was linked with AC Milan, I thought that'd be his best option, poor team and a good medical set-up. So he'd probably get games and be looked after when he does finally get injured. The move is more about him actually trying to play somewhere close to a seasons worth of first team football, rather than development. He is a good midfielder when he plays, it's just that he never does. Eta Naismith linked with Sunderland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 In fairness, uprooting your family and changing your lifestyle for a permanent move is one thing. If he's just going on loan, you can understand why he wouldn't be too keen to go abroad, then have the hassle of moving back again in a year.

Kris. Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Roma would be a good move for Wilshere. Big club, European football (albeit not the CL), good squad of players, a couple of big names there with Totti and De Rossi, plus he's played at Arsenal with a couple of them before so they would help him settle in. The only thing is I don't think he'd be guaranteed a game every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Fyvie Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 The loan makes it less hassle surely? Rent a place for 9 months, don't need to move family over, experience a different league & culture, then come home. Choosing Palace or Bournemouth over Benfica or Roma is fucking stupid.
