It seems that way, Although i do believe they had a budget to spend this summer anyway so who knows. Defensive MF, capable of CB too. This means bye bye to Parker/Huddleston imo.

Quite a substantial budget though considering no champions league football and no players being sold. Would that be around £60m spent so far? I'm not liking Spurs strengthening their squad with actual decent players.

TV Money, and we haven't actually really spent anything for a couple of seasons, taking into account the sales.

It's still well above what you'd expect them to be spending considering there have been no outgoings of note.

Jano · 8 Aug 2013 at 11:42

Not really, Spurs do have a history of doing this every so often.

Still don't think Real can afford the deal Tottenham want. There is no way Levy will sell unless we are getting a huge amount of the money up front, which means these signings are probably more of a way of showing intent to Bale, rather than replacing him.

If we went out and signed a properly good winger however, I'd be worried.

They have there eye on Vidal (Appearently). He's a VERY good winger.

Gooner Leroy · 8 Aug 2013 at 11:43

I forgot about the rise in TV money this season. Even more infuriating that Arsenal have not spent as of yet, never mind meeting Real's valuation of Higuain.

Arsenal should offer £50m and 99p for Suarez. Everything is £X.99

Spurs are the richest British owned club I think so they can spend. I agree that these buys are more to keep Bale than replace him.

Vidal Sassoon, aka David Ginola?

I had that same joke! I chose not to post it

Bucket · 8 Aug 2013 at 12:09

Cesc: "I never had any doubt. It has cost me a lot to return to Barça and now I want to triumph here."

Cesc: "My dream has always been to play at Barça and nothing has changed. I'm very, very happy here and I never thought about leaving."

FabreOFF.

He's just saying that

It's still alive!

Shamikebab · 8 Aug 2013 at 12:12

Looks like our window is going to end with a whimper then unless they've got something really secret hidden up their sleeve

Have you forgotten what date it is, Shami?

Baines and Fellaini on last day of the transfer window

Bucket · 8 Aug 2013 at 12:27

More quotes, everyone!

Cesc: "It's an honour United makes two bids, but there have been no talks. I didn't talk with any club since I joined Barça two years ago."

Cesc: "I've always felt valued by the club. Everyone told me they count on me, I never got any sign that made me think otherwise."

Cesc: "I didn't have to clear up anything, because for me it was clear I wanted to stay. I told the club I'd talk when it was my turn."

Cesc: "Things have been invented. It's also not true that I have asked for a contract renewal."

Argghhhh seriously, what was it that made us waste 80% of the transfer window on nothing. If Moyes doesn't win something serious this season he will be out at the end of the year.

Coming into a side, losing Scholes, probably Rooney and not strengthening while all our main rivals do. What does he expect to happen?!

NokkonWud · 8 Aug 2013 at 12:38

*shocked*

NokkonWud · 8 Aug 2013 at 12:38

Everyone knows Fabregas was always the Barcelona smokescreen. We're really signing Messi.

fozzybear · 8 Aug 2013 at 12:39

This is why Moyes and Woodward should keep their mouths shut when trying to sign a player. Not a great start to both their careers at Old Trafford.

What a ******* embarrassment.
