"We are getting news tonight that a big deal has been completed between Baldini and Valencia for the transfer of Soldado and may be bigger than most people think". More as we get it.
News now.
George

Who are you quoting George?

Just sign the man. absoloute class and just what the people need

Yep your right I've just seen the pictures of baldini in valencia with solaldos agent. Looking good lads.

Just seen a picture of Baldini sitting with another man (Soldados agent) discussing something. Source- 101 gr8 go*ls

The Valencia board are believed to be meeting at noon tomorrow to discuss the bid thought to be £22. 33 million say local press who had pictures of Baldini and Toldra, Soldado's agent

Apparently it will be €26million plus incentives. It takes it to the €30million they want.
Also rumours saying that we could be in for more than one player?
It's all rumours though at the moment. As was villa and benteke.
I'm not getting to sucked in just yet.

He's quoting bjarne mate

Liverpool have also matched our bid! If we pull this off I promise I will never have a bad word to say about again, I promise!

Apparently the chairman of Valencia has told Marca radio that we are just a little way off what they want/what the buyout clause is and that negotiations will resume tomorrow. My guess is that we will announce his signing on Wednesday.

Is his buy-out £25m or €25m, didn't think it was higher than the former. If Liverpool are matching that then Suarez is on his way out!

Hopefully Adebayor is going in the other direction. don't think there's a beach in valencia where he can lazy around but i'm sure he'd get the hang of it lol

Ed's, any interest in Lisandro Lopez? I thought I had read he wanted to leave Lyon. He is 30 years old now, so perhaps this is why he is not being tracked?

~Croatian Yid {Ed001's Note - I am not sure whether he was wanting to leave or it was mixed reports with the other Lisandro Lopez that signed for Benfice (I think) this summer. There was certainly a few enquiries for him, Fiorentina, before they turned to Mario Gomez, and Atletico are the only clubs I know have shown interest. Though I did read a statement, which I can't find now anywhere, from the club talking about multiple enquiries. I can't say that I have heard anything of interest from Spurs though.}

Benfica signed a different Lisandro Lopez; the young centre-back. {Ed001's Note - I know, I did say other Lisandro Lopez mate. What I meant was, I am not sure whether they were both looking to move, or if I was just getting mixed up on hearing Lisandro Lopez was moving to Benfica. It can get confusing at times, there are so many names thrown at you constantly, they do get muddled up. I used to keep notes, but I couldn't keep them straight so just gave up.}

Two Lisandro Lopez's, two Moussaka Dembele's I understand how confusing it can get. Thank's for your input.

~Croatian Yid

PS saw the Mirror is now reporting possibility of Spurs signing Lopez, although I guess it was just a matter of time before they speculation moved to him. {Ed001's Note - Moussa Dembele had me completely confused last year, you signed him, then Fulham signed him. I had to check the date of the report to make sure it wasn't an old one about his original signing before I read it. They shouldn't be allowed the same name as each other, it makes things so much more difficult!}

Hi Eds,

Any truth in the reports that Baldini is in Valencia now to negotiate the transfer of Soldado?

Thanks,

Dom {Ed001's Note - apparently he is, I have tried asking me parents, who retired to Spain, to pop over and check he really is there. They didn't seem impressed with that idea and suggested I go forth and multiply! It is not like they are doing anything else, the lazy gets have retired, I try and find them something to keep them occupied and get abuse for it! No helping some people.}

Shocking! How dare they try to enjoy their retirement? I don't know, some people eh?!

Thanks for the help Ed. Much apprecaited.

Dom {Ed001's Note - a nice little day trip, a quick 6 hour drive and they would be there. They are just selfish if you ask me!}

Now that's commitment from the eds and also gave me a chuckle.

reports saying that jams McCarthy is keen on a move to us and has even been house hunting in London, good player but Wigan want 20m and wouldn't pay that for him

I bet he's keen on a move to spurs from wigan. Unfortunately won't be happening and a 110 % no at that price.

Doubt it very much, we just signed a winger yesterday.

Tom

Happy at up to £8m as looks a very good prospect and there's always a premium on home-grown players but £20m! No way.
Simmo

Would like to see him at the Lane and IMO think he is worth £9-11m but never £20m

Tom I didn't think mccarthy was an out and out winger. thought he was down the middle type of a guy

How the hell are we considering McCarthy @ around 15-20m, when we should be going all out to sign Christian Erikson for the same money? Eds, can you shed any light on the erikson situation please?

Scottie essex {Ed001's Note - he wants to go to Spain and has repeatedly talked about that in the media. Clubs are wary of signing a player like him, one who can't keep his mouth shut and will only be using them as a stepping stone. Personally I wouldn't go near him, better to get players you can build around.}

Hes a very good player but at £20mil would rather see carroll being used more but suppose we do need more cover, no more than £12mil and maybe through in a player like harry kane

I would agree with all posters that McCarthy isn't worth the 20m, more like 8-9m with maybe livermore thrown in as he looked really good last season, also on the striker front everyone shouting for saldado but with age ( 28 ) can any of you see us signing him? me thinks not with the way levy operates, I like the look of remy had some good games last year in a poor QPR

Remy was of interest before at much bigger prices, now he's going to be relatively cheap you'd think he'll definitely be of interest again. However, isn't his court case after the window shuts? Another gamble that you wouldn't think many would take, including Levy.
Simmo

Apparently we are in for Remy in the last few days.
