Tottenham are planning a £45million double Âswoop for Morgan Schneiderlin and Wilfried Bony.
[...]
But Tottenham’s first approach has been reÂbuffed, so they will go back in this week with an improved offer of close to £20m.
So that leaves around £25 for Bony.
I know it is just the Mirror but yeah. I don't think that this has been posted here yet. Anyway I'm so sick of this dragging on and on. So much stress every time I see someone preparing to launch a bid.
Well those of us from overseas are telling stories I guess I'll pitch in my two cents. As my name implies I'm Australian. My local team is Sydney FC and they are my team in the A-league but ultimately the quality of football there is rubbish and no one I know really follows it. As such everyone who follows football here has a team from overseas that they have adopted, almost always Premier League because that is what is shown on TV.
I'm only fairly new to the football world and when it came to picking my premier league team I wanted to avoid glory seeking. I've always liked the underdog and thus found a natural team in the Swans - a relatively small club from outside of England who were able to overcome the biggest teams on occasion. Then the more I read about the club before committing the more I liked. Everything that the Norwegian member above said attracted me too.
I own a club shirt and a scarf which I wear when watching the games at home. I'm currently studying in Rome so I went to watch the game in Napoli (unlike many 'true' fans by the definitions above). I also made the flight over to Swansea to watch the Norwich game. I would challenge anyone who said that I was not a true fan - I could have gone to watch a game from one of the bigger clubs at a bigger stadium in a bigger city but I wouldn't have enjoyed it half as much as watching the swans.
Edit: Urgh didn't mean to quote a post - ignore that bit.
