How are we getting Moutinho AND Ade for only £30m?

Summer transfer thread, AvB window wrap up pg 1527
- Thread starter THFCTB
- Start date
Those odds have no doubt been slashed due to the Twitter talk though, and lets be honest 99% of stuff on there is BS.....
The power of Levy!
To be fair, Ade would only be about £5m probably won't he?

If your talking about just the transfer fee, and ignoring the other huge expenses. Yes.
well Adebayor is rumored between 5-10 mil whilst Porto have said 30 for Moutinho - which you would like to think Levy could barter down to maybe around 25 ?
Would be amazed if we got all that sorted in a week!
£9m for Defoe is a great price however just adds more work for us to do in a short space of time

I wouldn't be surprised. We have agreed a fee with City but, as we can't seem to finalise personal terms, we could go back and ask for some assistance. Mancini is stamping his feet about deals not being done, so City might be persuaded to help move Ade on.

Somebody has to be lined up already if Defoe goes, so in a strange way, I'm slightly re-assured.. I think!

Release clause aren't binding for clubs outside Iberia anyway, so it'll come down to haggling no matter what. Just like we want £40m for Modric and will accept £35m. They want £30m and will likely accept £25m.

If Defoe is on the way out I'm not too sure how I feel about that. On the one hand he's been a decent player for Spurs, and on the other he's frustrating as hell (especially in offside mode). I guess 9m for someone of Defoes age is very good business but I sure hope Levy knows what he is doing.
I still think 2 strikers are needed, even if Defoe does end up staying. I would think it's Ade, A.Nother, Defoe or Ade, A.Nother, Kane.

Defoe to QPR....not a chance
they already have Zamora, Cisse and A Johnson on big bucks, plus Mackie, DJ Campbell, Helguson, Bothroyd still hanging around, they dont need another forward

AVB doesn't play wingers per se. He plays fluid passing football through the middle with 3 fairly narrow CMs. If anything we possibly need cover for our inside forwards Rafa and Bale (which I know is kind of what you were suggesting).
The wide forward cover is more a nice to have this window though IMO, in comparison with the essential two #9s, a new Modric and a GK.

TBH Defoe so clearly doesn't work in AVB's system that he's pretty much useless to us now anyway. You might as well play Lennon as a lone forward for all the good Defoe will do there.

Moutinho is integral to Porto. They know we will be flush from Modric. They are reknowned for driving a hard bargain. Moutinho will not come cheap. Even at £25m (if we can manage that), there is a further £6m reported as a fee for Ade with another £5m as signing on bonus, which leaves them at £37m all in.
