Tim Vickery just on talksport saying that Damaio would be a brilliant signing for us (he wasn't 'ready' last year but is now).

He did insinuate that his Agent is absolutely desperate for him to move (anywhere) to make some money for himself.

Mentioned that Inter having bought Forlan will mean it's probable he will be sold.

He reckons it will cost around £18m to get him. Not as much as Oscar.
 
Sure, I completely agree - I mean we've hardly had suitors for the likes of Bentley and Jenas beating on our door have we!

But tie up the Adebayor deal, bring in Damiao (which is a deal they've been working on for 24 months!) and a winger like Sturridge who can also play up front and business is pretty much done. The crux of the team remains very much intact and a Goalkeeper isn't a necessity. Defoe will go in a heartbeat - there's a quality striker there and other managers know it but he'll never be more than our nearly man. Then it's all about Modric.

Sturridge is not a natural winger - nor has he ever played as such to my knowlege. He has been deployed primarily as a wide forward in order to accommodate the senior strikers in the team

To be absolutely clear, there is no way Modric will go for just 32million. At this rate he will not go at all. Odds on it will be settled on the evening of the 31st for 30m+ and Sahin, but we'd be v comfortable with him staying...

David said:
Last summer he'd 'only move to Chelsea'.You should know that he will go to any Champions league side that will pay the fee, triple his wages and plays in one of the top three leagues. Practically speaking that is only Real at the moment, but it is not like he won't go anywhere else for the next four years of his deal if the chance arises. Real obviously want Modric to create that impression to help their negotiating position and his walk out was designed to give that impression but Spurs fans should be able to see what is really going on IMO.
If you are Real competing with the best midfield in history there is just one player you can buy…Modric is him as Mourinho (and abv last summer) knows, and so they will have to play brinksmanship with Levy until the end of the transfer window and they will lose. Ultimately it has been decided that he will remain in the reserves if necessary.

naming rights deal...big money

The guy that told me said he's seen the papers and it seemed done. If so I guess they will announce it soon after the window closes.
