Well it's not like there are only two defined roles for a midfielder to have: attacking or defending.
Real play many, many games over the year given the amount of competitions they're in, and it would be unrealistic to rely entirely on Xabi Alonso to play every game.
I personally haven't seen the news show up anywhere, so I'm not sure where Kyoufu got it from and it's probably bullshit anyway, like 90% of transfer gossip. It's still an interesting proposition though.
I could see a straight swap happening, if they also had plans to bring in another striker (Agüero). Otherwise, they'd be getting screwed if they used Higuain in a part exchange.

Don't think anyone is saying Aguero is off to Real?
I'm thinking it.
Not yet, but sooner than dc is willing to contemplate. It won't be Lightning-tier heartbreak. But it will be soon enough to sting a little.
I just mentioned Agüero since he's been Real's target for some time, and he's one of the few strikers that could be considered better than Higuain. I'm not claiming it's happening, just saying, if they had someone like Agüero lined up, that would be the only instance I could see Higuain being moved out in order to bring in Modric.
Lol... bullshit. Not only is David Villa in a class above RVP, but to trade him AND 13m for another injury-prone striker, only a few years younger? Nah.

For a player in the last year of his contract who will leave this year or the next lol
Ridiculous rumour
From whose twitter exactly?
Yeah I'm thinking of getting one. Or iPhone 5 (would prefer to get an iPhone :/)
RVP to Barca is 6/1 odds....... ugggghhhhhhhhhh
@AFC_Times
They say it'll be announced in the next 48 hours......... lol
Sounds legit!
Great signing. Spurs probably have the best set of CB's in the league now?
Never owned an Apple device and had a Galaxy S Captivate prior to the S3 so take that as is.
Are you training at the new facility? If so, any pictures?
:lol
It really is a stupid rumour.
Just watched a review of the phone. Man. So good.
That and the One X are the top Android phones out right now. They make the wait for iPhone 5 unbearable.
Apparently it won't be ready till the end of July, I thought we'd already left Spurs Lodge. Once we come back from our tour of America I guess we move in.
Definitely not.
I'd have Skrtel and Agger over any Vertonghen + Spurs CB you want to produce.
Plus we haven't even seen Vertonghen in the Premier League, in AVB's system.
There's potential there for the future though because I really rate Caulker, if he continues his progress and Vertonghen brings his form over from Ajax, then maybe.
Ah ok. Genuinely looking forward to seeing it.
YES!! None of my friends here ever know who they are. Drives me nuts.
I find the 'Tom Cleverley: Ready to Shine' more hilarious, personally.
I meant as a collective. I think Skrtel and Agger are a better partnership (although perhaps debatable as individuals), but past that we lack depth.

An interview with Steve Bruce? Must buy.
Younes Kaboul is at least as good as those two. Hopefully Vertonghen is like Agger without the injuries.
I think in terms of depth, Kaboul, Dawson, Vertonghen, Caulker and Gallas, is up there.
Collectively, yes, I agree, there's far more depth at Spurs. I wouldn't have Kaboul over either Skrtel or Agger, at all.
Having Google Chrome on a phone is awesome. It is so fast. I decided against the One X just because the fixed battery. Thats just something that'll need to be replaced eventually for a large price.
Nor would I. I have high hopes for Coates as well.
Why do I get the feeling I made a huge mistake betting on RVP to City?
Plus the storage is awesome. Not many phones let you add your own sd card.
Dammit, don't tempt me to get one

It's Real. They don't buy players they need, they buy players they feel like buying at that very moment.
Heh, even De Jong's move to Monchengladbach is in jeopardy. De Jong is pissed off with FC Twente for his price inflation over the last week or so. He's called out the president and has pretty much slammed the club. I wonder how this would affect his role at the club if they don't sell him. Even Monchengladbach aren't ready to jump up to 16m either.

I guess I'm not too fussed now as Newcastle are staying firm by not bending over to that retarded club. Neither are Monchengladbach.

Yea buddy.
They're bringing out a DIY kit to replace batteries one the One X/S. According to me dad, anyway.
He doesn't want to come here anyway. He says he wants to go to Bundesliga.
You can bet your rubber ducky he'd have "loved to have joined such a club like Newcastle Untied" had we agreed a fee with FC Twente. Monchengladbach are/were in the driving seat though, despite our superior offer. From a logical stand point, Germany would be the best next step for him anyway.
Whatever happens, best of luck to him, and a shape he's being priced out by a silly club.
I just want to know what strikers we have a legitimate chance of getting. Not many out there who are young, talented and decently priced. If I see any comments about has-beens, 25 year old ineffective shitefucks who have scored no goals in 4 years or 16 year old "who the fuck are they" nobodies, I will run over Pardew when he's hitting the town with Mike Ashley.
Lol a good 12 hrs before it goes down. Main card at 10 EST, they'll probably fight around 11:30 EST.
Guidetti should be our likely target. Won't cost too much and he's young with bags of talent.
He's not the smartest kid on the block though.
I've never wanted to see anyone get pummelled more than sonnen.
Also, RVP for Villa, fuck that. Villa is incredible
Sonnen is just so good at trash talk. He is music to my ears.

I don't think Spurs' CB 4 is the best in the league outright yet. It's good but in Kompany and Lescott I think City have 2 very good CB's. Liverpool have 2 very good ones aswell and I think United's with Vidic back is still quite strong.
Good to see Spurs signing players where they need them though. Excited to see Vertonghen in the PL and how he adapts.

Nani says he wants to stay and his agent is in talks with United over a new contract.

twitter rumours United and Porto have agreed a deal for Moutinho at £25m and it's up to the player to decide between Spurs and United

Me too.
I'm getting a bit worried that there could be something in this Mancini to Russia thing.
He's in his last season of contract and he's not signed a new one, even though they have been discussing it since the end of the season. Mancini has been critical of the way City have handed transfers in the past. We've not signed anyone yet... Are we waiting for the manager to be tied down? Man I'm getting paranoid!
Also the source which says its done have now said City will get £16m compo.
Mickey Mouse cup.
Wouldn't be surprised if Moutinho chooses Spurs. Link up with AVB again plus can slot straight in as a replacement for Modric. With Man Utd, he'd have to contend with Kagawa, Carrick, etc.
