Lol
If little pea signs for Stoke I will eat my hat. Manu want £15mill for him and we would face competition from nearly every premier league club.
Not a chance we will be able to out wage any of the bigger teams as we have lost out to castle over wages for Riviere

£15m for a LOAN DEAL? Lol

Did is say £15mi for a loan, Manu will not loan him out they want to sell him and his wages are to much for stoke. If a loan did exist we would only be able to pay half his wages and Manu will have pay the rest. Can you really see Manu doing that

[crownmeking]

Young??? NO THANKS

Zubizarreta (Barca sporting director): "We've talked with Bojan's agent, we'll see what happens it's up to Luis Enrique. The next days will be decisive"

My big thought of the morning has been wages.Lets say,because i feel they would complete our team. Hernandez and Young.Then sell the equivalent in wages eg the fringe players and eg walters.I like the thought of Bojan and our Assaidi back. Babatunde would be an ok addition. I agree with balancing the books,but maybe eg 22 named players could be better than 25.

So you've got a highly rated Goalkeeper & your club captain who's helped turn the club from a Championship struggler to a settled Prem team, on say 35K-40K a week, then in walks 2 Utd rejects on double that. Do you think the other players will just accept that ?

It's called a wage structure, not just a budget. Once you smash the top level of pay all your top performers currently at the club want parity.

Not really news but still:

Soccer Sauce
Stoke have made progress with talks regarding the loan signing of Bojan Krcic from #Barca #SCFC

We have heard stoke have made a bid to buy him not loan him, deportivo don't have the money to buy him.

That's what I'd assumed on my made up rumour a few pages ago too

Not sorted.

Besiktas' club President has publically announced that the fee between the clubs has now been agreed.

Ba himself has even been putting pics of Besiktas and their fans up on his own instagram

Asked my Ajax supporting mate about Bojan today when I saw him. His comments were pretty negative:

Hes not committed in training
Had a few good games generally in the bigger games like the Champions League. Wasnt motivated in the league games mostly
Glad to see him go - De Boer apparently said he would prefer to give the squad place to a Youth team player who is just as likely to do as well

His advice was Stoke should keep well away from him.

His record is pretty mixed for advice. He told me Assaidi was quality (True), but also that Guidetti was a top player (False).

But hes definitely not a fan of Bojan

Nothing we haven't heard already - It's clear if we do get Bojan he will be a fixer upper project.

Hernandez is one of the most effective strikers in world football would be incredible if we got anywhere near signing him.

Also, Man Utd would be mental to pay half his wages for him to do well for one of their mid-table rivals

[PONTAFCE]

Hernandez is a quality player and its a nice rumour but he would be out of our league on wages FACT.

Would stop the little shit scoring past us . How bad did we want Riviere though? Looks more like it was an here's an offer take it or leave it we don't care.

I think our number one target is on board already (Diouf) anything else is a bonus.

No chance with hernandez.

Should go for his Mexican striker partner, Oribe Peralta!

[PONTAFCE]

Zubizarreta encouraged to Bojan Krkic itself to decide as soon as possible: "it should be resolved as soon as possible, is the best thing for the player and for the club".

Zubis from Barca I'd imagine financially we'd be more appealing to the club. It's dragging on a bit now.

not going to happen though rossi and i know that you yourself don't believe it will either...you haven't even changed your avatar to s pic of him or anything!

[FullerMagic]

He's STILL training at Barca - so he doesn't seem in a great hurry to make his mind up

I have a programme which will clear up the picture. Will post shortly

why nervous? Hackett seems to think it's nailed on

[mccfred]

Yes, keep our focus on Bojan, any rumors on Hernandez are sure to only stay rumors.

[daveypotter]

Would love to see Hernandez here but just don't think its realistic, both transfer fee and wages would be too much for us I'm sure.  still hopeful to see Bojan walk through the door though!
