alera said:I still think he will end up at Madrid. Most liklely on the cheap or possibly in some sort of player swap.
TheNews said:Guys as I said nearly 2 weeks ago he will be on loan to Spurs
Looks like a 12 month loan with option to buy we still pick up a large amount of his wages not sure of final figure but would guess 50% to 60% to be paid by us. One of the problems of putting these players on such large wages.
Should be announced in next day or so

Why would we do that?
Why subsidise Spurs to the tune of £3m or £4m a season when we can sell him lock, stock and barrel to Real for £5m... wirg no wage adjustment?

RM don't want him though
Financial Fair Play is going to be hard enough even if our Ground sponsorship is approved by UEFA so as he wages cost us almost £9m a year is it better to offload as much as we can?
As I said this is the down side of buying all these players over the last few years and putting them on massive wages, sort of limits who we can sell to to offload those we don't want
