Jordi Alba is headed home to Catalunya for a reported 14 million fee. Confirmed on the club website. He'll sign a five year deal.
Fee was low relative to his talent/age because he was on the last year of his contract, but for a guy with excellent technique, strong attacking thrust out of the back, and about four lungs, it's an excellent bit of business.

Only thing I don't understand about Spurs announcing AVB on July 1st is that it will coincide with the Euro final...
Also am hearing that there may be news about a new stadium in the middle of July. Would be interesting to see if that is part of the reason why Levy is willing to dish out some cash or if it is because he just didn't trust Harry at all.

I don't mind United losing Modric to Madrid.
Modric will sit on the bench for a lot of games there. And that's his personal choice (or rather Levy trying to maximize the most out of the sale). It's just good business for the club (Spurs).
However, we need to re-commit Nani. Sign Rodriguez for depth, sign Strootman, and look for one more CAM (maybe from South America/France) and ease him into the club.
Modric is very talented, however there's been comments over him not having the right attitude. People were saying when his TR to Chelsea last season was rejected, he didn't play with his heart last season. Surely we can find someone for cheaper in a different league who we can ease into that role.
Wolves are keen to take Manchester City defender Stefan Savic, 21, on loan.
Newcastle will go back to Lille with an improved bid of around £6m for 26-year-old France international right-back Mathieu Debuchy.
West Ham are trying to sign Tottenham's experienced French centre-half William Gallas, 34, on a free transfer.
Liverpool will move for Wigan forward Victor Moses, 21, if top target Gylfi Sigurdsson chooses Tottenham.
Paris Saint-Germain join Manchester City in the race for Arsenal's 28-year-old striker Robin van Persie.

I'm starting to get excited about the thought of AVB as our new manager. Unlike Chelsea, spurs seems to be the perfect club for him. I'm just hoping he's learned from his previous mistakes.

If Newcastle can sign Luuk De Jong for a reasonable price, he will be another huge profit for them in the future.

^Most def, can't wait to see him really break into the national team.
I thought the Lavezzi deal was already agreed upon....I'm surprised they didn't go after RvP earlier

Platini is an idiot... He can't be serious about Euro 2020.
And saying Modric is overrated would be like saying Arteta is overrated, the roles they play don't show up statistically nor do they really show up in highlights. But when you look at interviews with other players on the team, the teammates will say how vital they are.

Lucio has already agreed to a deal with Juventus, I'm expecting an announcement to make this official.
Alessandro Del Piero's not a Juventus player anymore, his contract expired and he's leaving the club.
