Damn, I wanted Villa for Chelsea. There's still Aguero to go after though, he's been fairly impressive when I've watched him. With better players around him he could be lethal.
Deco is in talks to go to Brazil. Probably won't get much for him (but we didn't pay all that much for him anyway).
All the papers are reporting that Mourinho will go after Chelsea players when he goes to Madrid.
Man U have said they're only after 1 big signing at most.
Fabregas is the worst kept transfer secret of the season. I don?t blame him if he goes. He?s given Arsenal good service and possibly stayed out of loyalty for 2 seasons longer than he should have. But they haven?t moved in two years so you can?t blame him for wanting some success.
The main stumbling block with him coming to Spurs would be his wage demands. He'd have to drop down quite a bit because he won't get anything like the amount he was getting at Chelsea or what Man Utd would offer.
Our wage bill was only the tenth highest in the Premier League according to the most recent finances in football report (based on season 08/09). Levy keeps a tight reign on the wages and I'm not sure he'd break the bank for Joe Cole.

but you justify higher wages as he's a ?10m player you are getting for free.

True, but you've gotta be careful then that he isn't getting too much more than the other highest earners. Rather than looking at it logically the other top earners will probably think "Well if he's getting paid XXX I should be too!"

Hasn't Keane got a clause in his contract stating his salary will be matched with the top earner's? I think our wage structure is great and don't think it should be broken.
On Modric, the BBC gossip column said yesterday we'd been given a choice of 3 Man U players. I'll take Rooney, Giggs and Valencia for Modric thanks! I'm sure it meant one of three and three rubbish squad players at that.
