Whats this Matej Vydra guy like? I know he's had a good season for Watford but has anyone watched him at all?

a good finisher. but I don't get it with people, it's like they just want something new up top (we all do) even if it doesn't fit our plans. He is no where near as good as Adebayor with is back to goal and bringing others into play but he's a superb finisher. Don't see why he'd come here (unless of course he's that young striker we have who won't start)

I've been wondering about something for a while now. Since the Levenson enquiry and the media being scrutinised to be more accurate with their stories, if Spurs, Monace and the player all dismissed the rumours as rubbish, could we, or any party involved, sue?

Surely could be one way to stop nonsense rumours circulating

Imagine if a journalist actually had to have proof that the 2 parties had meet AND that they had discussed a certain player? There would be no rumours and the headline in the paper could just appear like ''Mourinho returns to Chelsea!'' without 3 months of speculation. Would be pretty cool actually, could you imagine all the major deals that you knew about long before anything became concrete.. would then just start appearing like newsflashs

Yep, plus we'd be more willing to sell Lloris to a cash-rich, money-is-no-object club, since we have to pay 50 percent of any future profit on his transfer to Lyon, if I remember correctly. Sell him for 25-odd million, split the approximately 12.5 million-odd profit and use that plus the rest to sign Marc Andre Ter-Stegen.

See, management is easy. Sports Interactive taught me that.

What flimflam did that come from. No way Levy starts doing things like that.

I remember reading it on either the Guardian or the Mail's websites when they broke the story. I have no reason to doubt it, though: why else would Lyon sell us one of the world's best goalkeepers for a relatively paltry 12 million pound fee?

These clauses are everywhere in football, and I don't think Levy can afford to miss out on a player because he doesn't like them.

It's not like we have to pay Lyon 50 percent of his future fee, after all, just fifty percent of the profit we gain from his resale. We could sell him for 13 million, which means we'd only have to pay Lyon 500,000 quid, if the quoted transfer fee for Lloris is accurate. So it isn't as much of a burden as you seem to think it is.
 
1. Lyon are broke and were looking for a buyer
2. Not in Levy's MO to do such deals
3. How many keepers sell for more than £12m (€15m) outside the big leagues of England, Germany, Italy and Spain
 
Don't see Levy spending £17m on a 29 year old when he SUPPOSEDLY could spend £15-17m on soon to be 24 year old Damiao.

The reasons why we got Lloris for less than 10 mill iirc, not 12 mill, is that Lloris has not been performing well and there was no competition for his signature. Plus he really wanted to leave Lyon, have a new challenge, and Tottenham made a serious effort to sign him.

No way in a million years is Levy going to agree to a 50% of any profit from the sell on fee
