8.5 million?! Flippin hell. That's like paying 50 quid for a bag of Quavers.

Aye, but you can microwave quavers and get prawn crackers.

*wonders if Joe saw the RI thread*

 

[Jaztheman]

Spurs have signed Corluka and Pavlyuchenko already today, combined total of £22.5 million pounds.

So far today Magpies have agreed to sign Xisco from Deportivo for £5.7 million, they just need to make a contract offer now I think.

The biggest deal so far(pending contract) is that Porto have accepted a £20 million offer for Quaresma from Inter Milan.

 

[King Pietersen]

Corluka's a very good player. Definitely worth £8.5 million considering the stupid prices being thrown about for other players, Darren Bent £16million, Sporting wanting £20million for Moutinho, Zenit wanting upwards of £20million for Arshavin, £14milion for Pavlyuchenko, Atletico Madrid wanting £28million for Diego Forlan. £8.5million is a really good deal, for a player who I've been pretty impressed by since he's joined City. Could be a good bit of business by Ramos.

 

[evertonfan]

It seems if your a foreign midfielder these days then you're autmatically worth 20 million. Seems unreal that we got Arteta for 2 million.

 

[PhilD123]

English midfielders are even more overpriced. Barry - 20 million, Hargreaves (who is class but injury prone) - 17 million, Carrick -18 million (quality, but not quite worth that) and Lampard getting an obscene wage packet.

Spurs are already using the money they'll get from Berbatov, if we pull out of that deal, Levy would look so idiotic.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Everyone is getting ther payers, what about us Looks like we will get Fabiano, but Robinho and Kaka ????

 

[evertonfan]

You aren't getting Kaka. He said last week he's staying with Milan. Madrid are being hypocritically tight fisted about Robinho and you probably won't bring anyone else in this summer.

As for Everton, no one also. We're doomed.

The BBC Transfer Window live tracker is comedy gold, here are a few quality examples:

"Just seen Kaka on the number 52 bus in Salford, which goes to Old Trafford. Is it more than just a coincidence?"

"My mate Phil is a Cabbie in Liverpool City Centre and a season ticket holder at Anfield. He has it on very strong word that Rafa Benitez will sign a cut price Michael Owen as cover for the injured Fernando Torres. Welcome back to the prodigal Son."
Gavin, Ellesmere Port, via text on 81111

"I work in the shirt sales at Stamford Bridge. I was told this morning to prepare Robinho shirts with number eight. Shaun Wright-Phillips had the old one."
Steve, via text on 81111- This is a rubbish attempt at a lie, Lampard wears 8 at Chelsea.

Best of the lot:

"My mate owns a burger van outside Old Trafford and he's just had to remind Dean Windass and his agent that he's not open till 11. You heard it here first!"

It's brilliant reading, not seen any rumours regarding Everton yet though. A little worrying.

Aye, someone on Red Issue sent that. Quality.

Berbatov's been in Lou Macari's chippy. NFT.

[evertonfan]

First rumour to with Everton today is the apparent arrival of Jermaine beckford from Leeds. Jesus Christ. I'd rather we signed the holy one himself.
