Oh good, the 'expert' has made it all clear for us. Fantastic...

They're also very sceptical of him moving. "My landlord made me sign something saying I couldn't sub-let our spare bedroom. Also no pets."

And yet if you access it via Google, it's still there. http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.dailymail.co.uk%20Tottenham%20loan%20Southampton%20Iago%20Falque#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&source=hp&q=Tottenham+loan+Southampton+Iago+Falque&pbx=1&oq=Tottenham+loan+Southampton+Iago+Falque&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=4208l4208l0l4497l1l1l0l0l0l0l211l211l2-1l1l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=cca95d725a7ef585&biw=1280&bih=621

http://www.cleansheetsallround.co.uk/2012/01/former-liverpool-player-tweets-private-numbers-of-manchester-united-stars "Former Liverpool player Ryan Babel has appeared to giveaway personal phone details of Manchester United stars Wayne Rooney and Patrice Evra. Babel, who left Liverpool in January 2011, brewed up a storm on social networking site Twitter by releasing the mobile pin numbers of the Rooney and Evra." Ha.

In both the Iago to Spurs and Pacheco to Atletico stories, there is an option to buy. Coincidence? Maybe the deal is already tied up and that plays a part.

Ludwig is right, Pacheco is indeed on loan from Atletico Madrid to Rayo, and on loan to Atletico from Liverpool. Another text 'Mail in particular and Spurs press office are as thick as thieves'. My guy is never wrong. Could be some truth in this ladies and gents.

I'm fairly sure, speaking as a journalist, that if 'SPORTSMAIL REPORTER' (interesting name, must have cruel parents) were doing this story, they'd do their research and use Wikipedia at the very least before publishing. So they must know about the loan. MUST do. Then again, I've noticed that the story was pulled from the Mail website, if you use another link.

Got a reply, 'On loan from Juve I thought'.

I have a man on the inside at Spuds. I shall text him immediately.

According to that lovely rag the Mail. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2084900/Tottenham-loan-Southampton-Iago-Falque.html?ITO=1490 "Tottenham are set to loan Spanish midfielder Iago Falque Silva out to Southampton. The 22-year-old joined last summer from Juventus, and has figured in five Europa League ties and as a late substitute for Jermain Defoe in the FA Cup victory over Cheltenham. However, manager Harry Redknapp wants him to gain more experience." He's an attacking midfielder, formerly of Barcelona's youth team and Juventus.

If they went down though and couldn't afford to keep him, he'd be cheaper, surely? League One player, they need to get rid of him and aren't in a stronger position in terms of negotiations?

For not a penny less than £4m? No thanks. Using your own logic, is he better than what we've got? No.

Release clauses mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. Hulk's is worth £85 million. He'd leave for less than half that, no question. Indeed. I'll repeat what I've said before. The majority of his goals, barring about ten, have come at clubs where he's been carrying the team. Would he be first choice here? You'd think not when we've got the division's top scorer. Time to put this rumour to bed, well and truly.

Sorry but where's the evidence to suggest we are definitely chasing him? I don't mean something from the Echo which is absolute hearsay, I mean concrete proof we've put a bid in, it's been confirmed by the club he's a target etc. Genuine question.

To be honest, it's not that remarkable given how long they've been in the second tier and the players they've had in the past.

With prose like that, illiterate and uneducated.

Why does that not surprise me? Brighton fans still persist in defending their tactics and their style of play though. It's ridiculous.

Nope, you're definitely not alone. I mean every word of it. He's also had some injuries in his time - he was out after a few minutes on the opening day wasn't he?

Fact: 'Never Gonna Give You Up' was the first track on his personal mix tape. Shame he left it in Chilworth.

Claus is no angel himself, owes a lot of money, bailiffs are after him. He kicked off when he didn't get the full amount he wanted for his place in Chilworth Grange too...

Is this thread still rumbling on? Christ. Leicester haven't got their overrated and overpriced striker yet I see.

Watched this last night, the commentary is absolutely hilarious. Enjoy.

Yeah it's not cheap - I had an old Lambretta (well, still have it, in bits in the garage) and it gets silly. I was 20 when I got it. I couldn't actually get insured at all to begin with. A company had noticed I was using insurance websites and got my number. They called me and got me in touch with a company for a quote. Each time I finished the call with a company, I'd get a call asking how I got on, and if they thought I could get a better deal they'd find me a competitor and keep going until I got the best deal. Companies that do insurance for bikes can be quite temperamental - I didn't have a garage when I got my scooter, and two or three companies weren't interested just on that basis.

I'm not saying you're a slut, but if your vagina had a password, it would be 'password'

Villa fans can't stand him. Bit of a thug by all accounts.
