As far as I can tell, Willian hasn't been confirmed yet, but:

(However, IF we can sign Lamela, a front 3 of Willian, Soldado and Lamela, with Dembele, Sandro and Paulinho behind, presumably with Holtby, Sigurddson, Capoue, Lennon, Chadli, Defoe as rotation -sounds pretty exciting )

I think we offered the right amount for Dempsey and don't blame management for not going 35 million + nearly 5 million in wages for Willian. We aren't there.
It is an exciting time for Spurs for sure

Out of interest, do you have any idea what the Sounders paid for Dempsey?
Where have you seen £35 mil? I've seen as high as £30mil quoted, although the deal hasn't been officially announced yet so it's probably all speculation, anyway. Paying this much surely means Bale is off, which would be a pity, but it seems as though he wants to experience the Bernabeu and all that, and the club will get good compensation.
It could be our version of Torres - Carroll, I guess. I hope not. It would be gutting to see Bale go and get little in return. This is the 3rd season in a row in which AVB has tried to buy Willian, so I guess he has plans for him.
Uncle Si":55s7xc19 said:I think the MLS covered the 7 million for Dempsey.
The fee for William as I heard it was 30 plus a 5 mill add on for agent fees (apparently why Liverpool backed out)
Lamela would be a great buy. To me though Willian was a bit overpriced. Still considering Bale may be off its worth the risk

I'm sincerely happy your hopes were shattered.

His contract is 34-36 million (US) over 4 years.

so the debate begins... whats more annoying.. Arsenal fans and their persisent battle with themselves for credibility or Chelsea fans and their persistent apathetic ignoring of the fact they are the worlds most hated club
let the debate begin!
(thought Villa had that one yesterday to be honest... Mourinho's Chelsea is a far different group than AVB or Rafa's for sure)
Gatehawk":3bnckn72 said:Arsenal appear set to begin a 12 day spending spree(I'll believe it when I see it) with the completion of a free transfer for Mathieu Flamini. The Gunners are also reportedly interested in Karim Benzema and Angel Di Maria, and Real Madrid is apparently interested in Suarez again and might consider selling Benzema to fund the move.
