Southampton sign Osvaldo for £15m.

Southampton sign Osvaldo for £15m.

Too much to gamble one player on a second season.

No ambition in the market didn't work for Reading did it? Could be a decent signing.

You're probably right, but surely there's a happy medium to be found? I would be uncomfortable with Reading splashing this sort of cash second year.

Unlike the 12million they spent on Gaston ROFLamirez in their first year up?

You can almost forgive one "indulgent signing" but that's also ridiculous. Road to ruin.

You've never picked up West Ham spending £15m on Carroll though.......its their 2nd season too

[ZacNaloen]

Southampton are extremely cash rich because of the money Leibherr left them, it's not nearly as much of a gamble for them as it is for most clubs.

Tottenham have finally accepted a £93m + Fábio Coentrão bid from Real Madrid for Gareth Bale (Source: Calciomercato)

Southampton have signed Jonny Depp!

Rumoured that Spurs have beaten Liverpool to the signing of Willian.

Little RFC aside - reading the LFC forums reaction to that news, I found out Barry Hunter is now Liverpool's chief scout.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Elmander to Norwich

[southbank1871]

Luiz is off to Barcelona apparently.

[genome]

Lamela to Spurs.

And maybe Pjanic as well

[Pepe the Horseman]

Pjanic not happening apparently. Willian having medical though. Some great business by Spurs this summer. If they can get Coentrao as part of the Bale deal then they'll be looking very good indeed.

Yup - i just don't understand why Wenger refuses to buy players when Spurs have shown quality is out there

Hopefully this will mean the end of the Black Eyed Peas, they were awful.
