holy f...!!! 96m € (since the 80m in the article are POUNDS). how could it possibly have ended up at that???!!! i thought the infamous precontract had a fix 85m € fee. if they just activated/made use of that precontract, how come real now have to pay 11m € more???
i won't comment on the fact that CR will bring in that amount of money with ease, therefore it is still good buisness. it's been said enough
however, with regards to what you said beast (affecting the other transfer targets), i honestly think that this has already happened before CR...the 67,2m € for kaka' had signifficant sideaffects
- xabi alonso: all of a sudden went up to 40m € before the current 50m € + negredo & bueno
- david villa: 37m € are not enough, valencia rate him more like 50m € or like speculated today...35m € + negredo (15m € => 50m € total)
- david silva: suddenly not for sale, unless there would come in a big money offer valencia just can't refuse
etc...
with regards to ribéry, am i the only one who thinks that pérez still definitly not given up on him??? german press is all over his statement that bayern won't sell and he is to accept that. HOWEVER, he did also say, unless they (bayern) were to change their mind.
am i the only one who sees behind that statement a strategy??? that strategy being to send out a message to ribéry, that he has to make a move by handing in a transfer demand and make it clear to bayern, he wants to leave and join real???!!!
He's a good pundit in fairness but ye.....a bit dodgy on the transfer front to say the least.
