Yup. Some fantastic scouts they have over at Melwood.
We seem to be the club that agents/players go to this summer to strig alog so they get better deals at their preferred destination.
I think we're at the point where we are going to have to overpay now. My bet is as much as Roma don't want to sell, if we offer them silly money for Lamela, they will take it.

XBOX PAPER TOWEL AND DON'T TELL MOM
Isn't that the problem, the fact that we wont go the extra mile anymore in our fight to get "value for money"

£27m for Willian isn't exactly value for money though, that's alot of money to spend.
I think Liverpool's transfers have been quite good in general since Rodgers has taken over. You didn't manage to get Mkhitaryan and might not get Willian but when you're going for players like those...it's always possible a more attractive proposition will come in and sway the player. Liverpool don't have the CL to offer and can't pay massive wages, it's too risky for them right now.
He went back to Velez in Argentina. At 26. What a waste of talent. *smh*
Kinect is now a factor when deciding to buy xbox one or PS4? The first kinect is one of the worst things I ever bought. Leap motion is a close second. Motion technology = complete and utter shit.
Wont.

Di Marzio also saying Spurs have bid £30m and that Willian is now in London.
People seem to think he's reliable.
Because it's too risky.
Not the same as having loads of money but being unwilling to do it. There's some sound logic behind that choice.

We dont know if thats the case?
We definitely have the money. The figures for the savings we've made to our wage budget offloading some of our deadwood in the past year were ridiculous.
I hate Di Marzio. He was also the one to let us know that Mkhitaryan was signing for Dortmund.
Well that's the third major target we've missed out on. Costa, Willian and Mkhitaryan. We're starting to look like Man Utd here.

Just freeing up alot of wages doesn't mean they can/should offer £150k/week for example to a player they really want.
It upsets the balance of the wage structure. It's understandable why fans would want their club to do that...but at the same time it's understandable why the club would be reluctant to do so.
Obviously I'm speculating here, not sure what Spurs are willing to offer him, what he wants, what Liverpool would offer. But I'd guess Liverpool would need to go well above £100k to 'blow Spurs' offer out the water' type of thing.

Our offer was allegedly 27m, 50% sell-on clause, and 100k p/wk to the player.

Cleff wat r u doin.
Oggy was saying we were gonna bid £35m too. But then I read Guardian are saying the bids will be totally separate from now...who knows.
Personally I think that £35m is quite fair to Everton, but considering the circumstances they're clearly going to push for more.
Gianluca Di Marzio @ dimarzio 50s

Oh God.
Marzio says £93m for Bale, not .
Spurs will be like £20m in profit for the window even after getting Willian...

Wow. That plus Coentrao is a great deal.
Spurs still need a quality cb. Actually think they can challenge.
I expect Titanfall to be written with comic sans of the boxart.

wtf
Capoue might not be mentioned much in the same sentence as the rest of these players but I think he's a fantastic defensive player and will be just as important as the rest come the end of the season. Very solid and tidy player.
Spurs have most certainly taken this Summer seriously. Haven't seen such class business in a long time.
Should go for Arda Turan.

Do Spurs not realize their defense needs strengthening?
