Hahahaha.

"Spanish news outlet Marca has previously reported that the Colombia international is earning £67,000-a-week on his deal at Barca"

Swansea have apparently agreed a fee of £6m with Brentford for Ryan Woods.

[PaulWinch again]

Annoying he would have been excellent.

That's a shame.  Him instead of Whelan would be great for us. 

[PaulWinch again]

Sign some players please Villa.

They report the story and then at the end give it a likely of being true rating of 0 out of 10. It is a shame the tabloids don't show similar honesty. ''Here's a fantastic story......but unfortunately it is bullshit".

Surely we can outbid Swansea?

If we've got no money to spend with FFP, then no i guess.

[ChicagoLion]

I think, we will not be buying or loaning any one until we see players going out the door.

I guess we need Levy to stop arsing about in that case.

[sickbeggar]

yep, if there was any money there i think we wouldn't be signing players on loan from the deepest darkest reserves of  athletico madrid. If we rated him that highly then you'd expect us to at least buy him

Actually this is the sort of deal that is perfect as a loan, so long as there's a future fee agreed.  'Try before you buy' of young foreign players is a great way of avoiding signing someone who just doesn't adapt to the culture change.

well that's the rub really. I don't see anything that says he's a championship 'keeper apart from blind optimism. Better that than another Gollini i guess

[OCD]

And we spent £5m on Gollini.
