Good morning.
Ten days to go, a new manager at the helm and yet we’re scratching for transfer news. The Mirror are taking a punt by naming Bentley, *****, Gio, Bassong and Gallas amongst those who Villas-Boas isn’t interested in keeping on.
Bentley’s linked with Fulham. Apparently Bentley’s knee is fixed now and he’s ready to rock. Judging by this image from the preseason, it was the steak and kidknees that he has really been been battling against.
The Modric and Adebayor sagas appear no more advanced that they were months ago. ‘The Journalist’ who’s record is close to abysmal suggests that enquiries have been made for Alex Witsel as a replacement for the Croat.
Witsel is a 23 year old Belgium currently plying his trade at Benfica. This seems ambitious from a number of perspectives but none more so than Benfica’s president Luis Felipe Vieira being quoted last month as saying:
“We want every club to know what is the release clause for Axel .
“If they want him and if they come here and pay that fee, then there is nothing that we can do.
“But we are very happy with Axel and we do not think about selling him.”
The release clause he was referring to is thought to be about £31M.
Bentley is Fat?
Touche Jameson. If £30 mil is all Madrid will offer for Sean Ryder I mean Ratboy then it would have to be seen as good busuiness as all business is where a significant profit is made ( Thanks Lord Sugar ) so do it A Sap Levy, Tick Tock !!!!
Mini Shaun Ryder! Brilliant

With thanks to the Joe Dolce appreciation society Wigan.

I’ve never heard what the release clause is for Ratboy, or if there is one on his contract. Levy surely has included one being as sharp as he is financally. So that must the sum, that Real should come up with.
Have faith it will come out alright.
COYS :daumen:
Release clauses for price buyouts have grown in popularity in the last couple of years. I don’t think Modric has one otherwise we’d have read what it was when Chelski were sniffing around. Back then, with Arry in charge, it wouldn’t have stayed quiet long.
Damio is very likely, Hulk less so, and still think Ade will be at WHL come kick off. If Damio is signed, Defoe will be out. But also read that AVB not keen on GDS which I don’t understand, he’s never been given a chance – unless they are worried about him going on a free in a year’s time. But people should stop fretting, fat lady only just warming up.
…By “fat lady” you mean Bentley, right?
I hope he’s just warming up, before leaving for West Ham,
