Are you @thedarkpav?
Gianluca Di Marzio says the deal is done. £30m paid over two years.
who?
Same guy that broke pep to bayern and said Bale deal agreed.
I find it hard to believe Levy would pay our record fee in only two instalments!

maybe we are getting a big lump sum first payment of the Bale deal
maybe so... but that doesnt stop him saving the pennies that has put us in such a strong financial position
I find everything to do with window so far hard to believe. We've been like a kid in a candy shop. Just hope it all works out well by 2nd Sept.
Levy has gone nuts this summer...who knows whats happening
Not surprised if we end up paying for Willian fairly quickly. There was a lot of interest in him and the Anzhi owner was reportedly very interested in recouping some of his outlay quickly. Would have been difficult for Levy to get one of his Levy-specials in there with Liverpool and possibly others competing over his signature as Anzhi could have just told us to match their payment structure or get out.
Also a very real chance that we've been in a bit of a hurry with this deal and the Lamela deal if the Bale to Real deal is as close as it's being reported. Would also have made Levy's negotiating position weaker and made it more difficult to get a more Spurs-typical payment structure.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has appeared to end his interest in Anzhi Makhachkala playmaker Willian, who is believed to be poised to sign for Tottenham Hotspur.
The Merseyside outfit were interested in poaching the Brazilian from the Russian club, who are willing to offload a number of their stars in order to cut costs.
The 25-year-old is believed to be in talks with Spurs over signing a five-year deal in a club-record £30m fee, but reports have emerged stating that Willian is still considering his options.
Rodgers said in a press conference: "It's one where if we can't get them in, we just have to move on. We've got 11 days to go, we have to do everything we possibly can. If you can't get the player that you want, there's always that initial disappointment, but you can't dwell on it."
