It makes no ref to anything currently happening though........ All it is is the often unreliable DKP throwing a little general narrative in to spice up an otherwise pretty unrevealing report (I mean; pretty obv. DL was doing the final deals this summer).
We've had reports of sales agreed in principal so far for:
Winks (Done)
Kane (Done)
Lloris (refused Lazio)
Dav (refused Russia)
Loans complete or pending agreement:
Tanganga (TBC)
Rodon (Done)
And reports that the following are refusing to leave:
Dier (Fulham)
Spence (Palace)
Ndombele (Galatasary or Fenebache; can't recall which)
Injured and thus currently not sell-able:
Sess
Gill
Who are these deals that have been scarpered by high asking prices?
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
politicians say hi
He needs to agree to the loan
All of us base our opinions on information we don't have.
Depending on if it fits, people choose to believe or disregard reports.
The only thing we know is those players are still here.
You can choose to inhale copium and say whatabout other clubs that have the same issues. It doesn't really change the fact that these players are the reason our manager gave for incomings not happening until the squad is trimmed.
This is a failure of senior management at the club.
You know what, perhaps no clubs are coming in for Dier, Ndombele because they take notice of the negative comments, amd I mean very,very negative comments and criticisms made about them by Spurs fans.
Yes, scouts often come here to get the low down on a player prior to committing to a deal!
Players have a strong union, you can't put them on gardening leave. Pretty sure (can't find the link right now) you tell him to stay home he can take to tribunal with full wages and released.
As long as he is turning up for training, even if you make him train with the youth, he is fulfilling his contract.
I'll take a look later but pretty sure this is right.
The motivation is that if he negotiates a lower settlement to allow him to leave for free he will be able to sign for whoever he wants.
He didn't turn up his nose at the loan to Napoli and this summer it seems he has rejected a permanent move to Turkey. Again, it's the club unable to accept anything other than a sale or possible loan. The club have to open the option of allowing him to leave for free and then negotiate a pay off which will be much less than 20 mill
That's what Arse did with Aubamayang. He was earning 350k a week and had 18 months left on his deal. That's about 25 mill he could have earned by just staying there. However through negotiations he accepted a 7 mill pay off and Arse also agreed to pay half his Barca wages for 6 months. So Arse got rid of the problem and saved around 10 mill which was due to him had they done nothing and just allowed him to hang around the club for the final 18 months of his deal.
If that's the case then ban him from coming anywhere near the club and just keep paying him for the next two years. If he is ok with that then fuck him and take the financial hit.
Top managers /CEO /traders get payouts all the time in the real world, if they can negotiate it when getting the job and you can't prove gross negligence. If you're at the top of your game and in demand you can put lots of provisions into your contract that are not standard for us plebs.
Sadly probably can't do that , probably construed as constructive dismissal - and he is then awarded the full amount left on contract
£20m paid in a lump sum.
It would be constructive dismissal but capped at a year? Inn the Field of Play - When might an athlete claim constructive dismissal?
But I have a feeling PFA have negotiated more stringent rules, can't find it anywhere now though
My post wasn't to establish an opinion..... It culminated in the posing of a question.
I'd like to think that if deals were being wrecked (deliberately as you and a few other prize charlies have claimed on numerous occasions!) then there'd at least be something pointing to such instances happening......?
The only thing that comes close to my recollection is the PEH/AM situ and they would appear to have wanted to bleed us dry rather than us be over-pricing.
LO.L.... You absolute fookin' shit-house nightmare!!!!
Mate, you run a mile when your fan-fiction narratives and "conspiracy" theories (yeh, I said it!) hit a brick wall, so you've no right to talk about "copium". Ditto other club "whataboutery" as you love a bit of it when it suits you.
If the only significnt aspect of any of this is the stone fact that the deadwood remains; then you (and admittedly plenty of others) need not be drooling over shit like DKPs tweet.... In fact you'd never need even inhabit this thread and instead just check the official Spurs site for announcements and not bother yourself with rumour...... But of course we BOTH know that's NOT how you roll at all.

We're not paying Perišić 350K/wk
That shows, you're clearly misinformed about that particular situation, be a good idea to do some research first, it might make you understand why they did that - all you've done is put 2&2 together and made 5.
Also the 5 players they have who are no longer in the manager's plans, they're training with the reserves and on their transfer list.
Same for Maguire at Man Utd, ask yourself why they're not ripping up his contract when they clearly don't want him.
This is exactly how Nazi Germany started
There is also potential appeal to CAS.
Not sure why it would be capped at a year though.
