Spurs was another PL club that he was linked to, and now West Ham it seems.
My suspicion is that his Dad/agent is putting out these rumours and is desperate for him to be earning megabucks playing in a top-tier European league. Fact is that if he'd signed for Brighton last January, he most...
We've apparently had an offer in the region of 7m accepted, so if we offered wages of 5m over 4 years (25k a week) that makes it 12m, or 3m a year as far as FFP is concerned, so I think it's possible without any financial jiggery-pokery.
But nah, **** signing the striker from Argentina's...
I've enjoyed this thread a lot, but I can't see it happening. What I do think will happen is that we'll sign someone else, and that, like nearly all of our successful transfers, most fans won't even have seen a Twitter rumour before the official transfer news email from the club is sent out.
That's a 4 engine plane - probably a 747 - so definitely long haul. Depending on the layout, he's either towards the back of business, or maybe premium economy.
As noted, the mountains are far too green to be northern hemisphere.
It doesn't matter how expensive England is compared to BA, even footballers with expensive taste would struggle to spend more than 4-5K a week, leaving a surplus of about 35K
to save for his retirement.
Much as I want to believe, I can't imagine that they'd be able to keep it off the radar if he really was training. If your mate was ITK because his son is at the academy, how many other academy parents would know?? In this day of social media, it'd be all over Twitter before he'd even finished...
It's exactly the same: put out a rumour that a PL club are looking to make a bid to give more leverage in contract negotiations.
Same was done for Rohan Ince and Liverpool a month or 2 before his contract was renewed.
I want to believe that this is the genuine account of an ITK journalist. However, if it was, wouldn't it have thousands of followers? Andy Naylor has close to 9000.
