Summer Transfer Window 2013 (General)

[Bender]

Rob Harris @RobHarris 4m
Southampton paying £12.9M, not £15M, for Osvaldo. Could rise by £1.7M based on appearances. (Roma announced in €s: fee15.1M +2M poss extra)

[Chazza]

Dan Wilcox @LfcDan
Tottenham are also expected to buy Fábio Coentrão from Real Madrid. (Times)

Gutted if Spurs get Coentrao.. they already have Ekkotto and Rose for LB but suppose Coentrao be an upgrade

[Fredo]

And Willian

[Arn]

So they could soon have signed players for something like £130m.

[G]

How much have they spent this summer so far?

[Chazza]

£60m with nearly £20m back from sales

[G]

30 more for willian if that happens. Defo spending the bale money, they don't have that sort of cash.

[RichC]

I dunno the owners have pretty deep pockets + the new tv money as well

[Baracus]

Levy is a Billionaire last I heard worth 1.6B. And that ENIC company are seriously rich

[RichC]

Joe Lewis is the main guy and is worth £5 Bn or so.

[Chazza]

Massive shift of policy for them mind and they will have an eye on FFP.

I am with G, they are spending the Bale money.

[G]

Yeah but ffp means they can't spend their owners money regardless of how much they have.

If UEFA bother to enforce it that is.

[ChesterDave]

Spurs aren't cool, or part of the club - so it will be enforced for them.

[RichC]

Although the bottom club this season is expected to make over £60M going up to over £100M for the winners.

Now I expect Bale to be gone but they could afford it and still fit into FFP
