Err...what?
Luka went for around 34 million pounds.
Didn't Van Persie go for 24 million?
I think you've got your numbers confused, bub.

That or you left out a key word in your last sentence.
In either case, it says more about United over-paying for a player than us giving up easily.


TBH, RVP is world class, modric isnt and cost 10mill more, so United did some good buisness.

Yes, the best/second best CM in the EPL over the past three-four years is not world class.
:crazy:
Aren't you an Arsenal fan? RVP might be worth 24 million, but based on his contract status, ManU paid overs.

why would they be concerned ?

they'll just have to meet his value of 18mill (pounds) or he stays

its not definite that he is going yet, we've given him permission if the value is met, he loves being at Spurs but Silvie works in Germany and thats the problem, also I reckon his value will drop considerably by next year when he's 30

who'd wanna spend time away from this

18mio is not the figure being floated around :? Various reports have it between 9 and 14m pounds.

http://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/hsv/klar-mit-van-der-vaart-25914154.bild.html

Rafael van der Vaart earns what, 3.6m a year in wages topped up with bonuses and the like. That is a lot of money for a player who is reportedly not in the plans of the new manager. The clubs will come to an agreement in the reported 9-14m range and the offset of his wage is a bonus. Money saved is money earned as they say.

yeh, I agree they can do odd deals with wages, no idea what he is on but he'd be in our top tier

Spurs only pay about 100K a week tops in wages but then they can pay a sign on fee if they are trying to sign a big name player they offer a few mill or what ever up front then put them on the standard wage

that aside I heard 20mill so deduct 2 mill for the exaggerations and I'd say Levy could let him go for 18, or maybe even 16 but any less I dont see us selling him

Levy wont knock back good business as we only paid 8 mill for him (pounds)

14 million pounds is the bid from Hamberg, not accepted at this stage

if he goes Affellay looks like being his replacement

As long as we get some kind of replacement that is.

Also, I'm not sure how this would go down, but I would consider going for Walcott. We need another option apart from Lennon, Hoillet would have been good

he is still a Spurs players but looks like he could go, nothing decided yet, I think Silvie makes more money than him so she is calling the shots by the sound of it

strong rumours Mouts could be in so if thats the case he can go for mine

he's got bad knees and a heart defect, I think our interest is declining hopefully

Levy in his element now as we are down to the last 24 hours but as he has shown in the past he can promise alot and deliver very little

Yeah, like f!?king up the Lloris deal.
If its true what they are saying, then Levy is an absolute moron.

I'm confident Lloris will go through plus a few others but whether they are plan A or plan F we'll have to wait and see.

We may have about 6 or more going out including VDV, so we'll have a much smaller squad by the looks of it.
