Actually this isn't the most bizarre name that's been thrown out there today. Would be excellent revenge against Chelsea, and the word is Monaco does have to cut some losses under pressure from the French league. Benzema makes sense as well if Madrid want to afford Suarez.
Mind you, thinking about it, Ozil is the spitting image of Jaws from James Bond.
Massive, massive stretch mate.
The good thing is if this goat info is true and we do sign a 45mil player then it will be unreal but if we don't then atleast we are all extremely happy with our transfers. No signings tommorow = extremely happy regardless........... Signing 45mil player tommorow = Ecstatic. Atleast we can all enjoy a transfer window deadline knowing we don't have to worry about signing anyone. Anything else is a massive bonus.
Check your arithmetic mate.
Shit, you're not lying
window closes at 11pm, so thats at least 25 and a half, plus all the "did a deal happen after the window closed" bollox, so I'd say 36 hours to be sure
Ok, firstly lets not forget that there's always talk of a big signing last minute which never comes off, so lets not get to ahead of ourselves, but 2 pieces of food for thought.
1. while 'the goat' is anonymous, it is ultimately info that has gone through the mods before hand, so you can speculate that they wouldn't put it up if they knew the guy had a track record (as has been the case many a time in the past). Or that they're just putting it up because they want to keep their forum busy on the last day.
2. I find it hard to believe that levy would spend that out the blue, but what I would say is we were prepared to spend an excess of 30 million pounds on willian. If we assume that chiriches was wrapped up before hand and erikson was wrapped up for 11.5 m. There is still money, he COULD be willing to spend.

tom ince from blackpool then loan him back for the rest of the season i have seen.would not be supprised if we see the left back from real madrid on loan who we were after
I wouldn't say this money was out of thing air. We had a bid accepted of around 30-35m for Willian. We had a bid rejected of 35m for Mata. We seemingly were buying chiriches no matter what. The only thing that would affect the money would be the eriksen transfer. That still leaves us with 20-25m unspent plus an actual profit this window. So if Levy is willing to take a 20-25m loss this window it is conceivable to spend 45m.
That was what I was trying to get at ultimately.
As a general question, does anyone reckon in hindsight that we brought in paulinho, chadli and soldado to play alongside bale? or we brought them in knowing he would leave?
It beats sulking over the loss today, even if it is fabricated hogwash.
Not gonna lie, I've hung a shred of hope around the possibility of Falcao though. That would be the ULTIMATE fuck you to Mourinho and Chelsea after the Willian debacle. There would be nothing better, and from AVB's comment the club is clearly bitter about it.
