do you think Bale is £85m worth?
do we have the best league in the world when the best 5 players are atually in Spain?
Messi, Ronaldo, Iniesta and soon to be Suarez and Bale....
really hope Man Utd get Fab though

A player is worth what someone else is prepared to pay for him.
Spurs know that Real will sell Bale shirts aplenty and the lad only needs to have a decent game against Atletico/Barca to be become a Madrid legend. They must have made Beckham's £25m back inside six weeks.
He's also worth money to spurs, who know that he makes Champions League football so much more likely.
Levy only sells for more than he thinks a player is worth. In Levy we trust, say the fans.
And we still have the best league in the world IMO because of how competitive the games are. There's a reason 90% of the Spanish games on telly have either Barca or Real in them.

We might have a competitive league but it is clearly not the best. Last year I thought the EPL was the poorest quality in memory, evidenced by how far United won it (and not the best United side by any means) by and English team performance in the champions league
The best players available eg Neymar, Cavani etc are not coming to England
the new TV deal and privately funded rich clubs can attract the likes of Negredo, Jovetic etc but when push comes to shove the very best are going to be heading to Spain and maybe soon Germany or PSG, whereas a generation ago the players headed to Italy

La Liga will be a lot weaker this season, been a constant stream of departures purely because the mid/low ranking clubs are brasic
I think the top leagues are coming closer together than ever in terms of quality.

Competetive and exciting trumps the top quality of 2 teams imo. Best thing premier league ever did splitting the TV revenues equally as opposed to in Spain where Barca and Madrid take the lion's share.

I can agree with this, but no match in our league can live upto the expectation of Barca and Madrid. Those games have flair, brilliant players, actual hate for each other, managers fighting (lol)......
Man Utd v Liverpool is so far behind and far behind numerous other games too......

True - but we have far more "lesser" exciting games.
The Barca v Madrid games happen twice, and then the rest of the time someone like Villareal pop in from midtable and get smashed 5-0.

Fungus leaves Man Utd = instant decline?
Missed out on Thiago to Bayern. Seem to be spending a lot of effort on Fabregas which is delusional. If they dont sign anyone can see Man City and Chelsea overtaking them
One thing that just gets worse and worse every year is the amount of crap that gets written in the press. People taking "In The Know" sources from twitter, and just so much BS - 90% of it is just made up nonsense. I just try and shut myself away from it all in the summer, easier said than done though

Do the big clubs really waste their time chasing players that they have no chance of signing. I can't see teams putting in the effort if they haven't had a green light somewhere!
Someone from United has surely spoken to someone representing Fabregas and hinted that he would be welcome to the move?
Does the above happen or is that considered as tapping up the player?

Cardiff will complete a £9m deal for Spurs defender Steven Caulker later today
That would be a terrific signing. Young, only going to improve. Surprised Spurs are a seller

Very good bit of business for both teams, if that is possible. £9m for a fringe player but who has good potential.

9m seems a little steep to me.

correct me if I am wrong, but I think young British players still command a premium from British clubs?
Part of the reason why so many are importing from places like La Liga/other leagues where sellers need the cash because their particular TV deals emphasise the big clubs so
