Sky Sports said:
Schalke 04 have rejected an offer from Tottenham Hotspur to sign midfielder Lewis Holtby before the end of the January transfer window, it has been confirmed.

Holtby is set to join Spurs when his contract expires in June, but with Brazilian midfielder Sandro out for the rest of the season with a knee injury, the north London side approached Schalkein a bid to sign him now.

Manager of the Bundesliga outfit, Horst Heldt, confirmed they had rejected the offer, he said: "Tottenham have made an offer, which was not acceptable, therefore it was rejected.

"The transfer window is still open and Lewis has not become any cheaper."

The Germany Under 21 captain produced another impressive performance for Heldt's side on Friday when he created two goals and scored the decisive fifth in Schalke's thrilling 5-4 home win over Hanover 96.

The 22-year-old later confirmed any potential move is out of his hands, and his eyes are firmly fixed on his future with Schalke.

"I am not going to just piss off without busting my arse for the team," Holtby said. "I will give my all for Schalke until the last second. Everything else must be decided by the clubs."

Don't understand why people keep mentioning the £4m loss. Obviously we won't make as much money when we're not in the Champions League, and we've just built a world class training facility, with a stadium in the pipeline.
 
Do you not think if we could get rid of them we would? We've not been loaning out Bentley and Jenas every window to try and develop them, we're waiting for their contracts to run out because nobody will have them without them taking a huge pay cut.

Trust me, I get the fact that we can't get rid of them. :bentley: :mong: :gomes:

Just pointing out that we shouldn't get too hung up on the financial loss as we have that covered in players surpless to requirements.
