So now Everton have accepted a bid from Tottenham for Pinnear. Will he be a Spur or a Blue?
How is he valued at £2-3M? It seems like he would be worth twice that, especially if he's being shopped at those two clubs.

Cause he's out of contract at the end of the year and he's turned down an Everton offer so its 2-3 million now or nothing in a few months.
Didn't Ozil only go for like 10-12 million? Partially for the same reason, he was going to walk when his contract ran out in a year. Although you would think they could have gotten more for him than that.

That makes sense. And yes, the same thing did happen with Ozil.

Steven Pienaar is already 28 and in his prime. Ozil is 22 and developing into one of the best players in the world, that's why he went for 12 mil even though he was out of contract at the end of the year.

final season of deal, they get what they can for him or he leaves for free in the summer. couple years ago it would be a no brainer but now spurs vs chelsea is kind of a decision to make.
Posted on 1/17/11 at 4:24 pm to NOTORlOUSD
Pienaar is highly overrated as a player. He has a limited skill set and can easily be taken out of a game. He's not particularly quick, nor does he have superior dribbling ability. He's a good player but nothing brilliant.

Alexis Sanchez to Chelsea? Thenry, why hasn't Gary Medel been listed as a possible CB for our Gunners? He is better than anyone mentioned.

Sanchez has been linked to about every team with 30+ Million Euro to play with. I've heard Inter and Man Unit et. al. have also made inquiries.
I think, considering their recent run of top form, Udinese may hold him to make a run for the CL spot if they don't get a king's ransom.

My guess is his number is inflated because he isn't cup tied. He is one of a number of really good Chilean youngters. Not sure if 30mm Euros is legit, but this kid can play.

Yeah, I agree Sanchez is going to be a major star but it may take a crazy offer close to the 30-35M Euro asking price to pry him away from before summer. Mainly, because Udinese's owner has been so demonstrative to the press that they won't let him go cheaply.
Udinese was the trendy dark horse pick to finish at the top of Serie A but had an horrendous start. They've been scoring goals in bunches recently though and are still in striking distance of a Champions League spot.
The other Chilean midfielder Udinese has, Isla, is a player I'd guess will garner a ton of interest as well.

Chile is going to be a major player in WC 2014.
Posted on 1/17/11 at 7:56 pm to glassman
Chile will certainly be even more fun to watch than this past year. Not sure how much quality have on the backline but the attack is stacked.
I've thought Isla has been almost as good as Sanchez for Udinese.

Medel is a great player.

Bradley would be a great fit at Sunderland. He and Henderson would be a great young MF pairing.

Lerner is opening the wallet. Samba wants out at Blackburn and Villa has made contact. Hello Arsene, are you watching.

I'm not a huge Samba fan, but I'd take him over Squillaci no doubt. Don't know if he'd be able to play striker like he does for Blackburn when they need goals late.
Jay Emmanuel-Thomas to Cardiff City on loan is official.

Ryan Babel to Hoffenheim for 7mm? There goes the swap/trade and cash for Suarez at Ajax. Or maybe Pool will just straight buy Suarez.
Posted on 1/18/11 at 10:42 am to glassman
I have read rumors of Spurs being in the mix for Suarez, Fabiano, Adebayor, and Andy Carroll all within the last two weeks.
A - Do they really need another striker?
B - Do they really have the cash for a £30M purchase?
C - If they do have that cash, why is there concern of another team raiding them for Bale?
